The Obama administration’s announcement they will sue Arizona over the state’s recently passed immigration law known as SB 1070 may have some on the left cheering, but Democrats sitting in McCain won districts may not be sitting too pretty on the issue.

Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, Arizona Democrat, is currently in dangerous re-election waters. Her 8th congressional district was won by Senator John McCain, Arizona Republican, in the 2008 presidential election by a +6 margin.

Ms. Giffords, like her fellow Arizona Democrats in McCain won districts, Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick and Rep. Harry Mitchell, has not been extraordinarily vocal on SB 1070, but she did express the following criticism of her state’s immigration law to a local Arizona outlet: (all emphasis is mine)

Democratic CHICKENSSSSSS, are coming home to ROOOOOST. (with appropriate flapping of hands and facial grimaces)

I don’t know why this story ignored the illustrius raul grijalva who, as a sitting member in the house from Arizona, was one of the first to call for a boycott of Arizona.

It is obvious there is leadership for us out there. It is time for all leaders who love America to come forward and lead.

Jan Brewer for President!

[axxmann]

BINGO!

[SandRat]

Alcalde don Raul Grijalva is not up for re-election is my understanding until 2012.

Any GOP candidate who wants to win should call out his opponent and simply ask them whether or not they support 0bama's lawsuit against a sovereign state. It's a yes or no answer. If they answer yes then ask how then do you reconcile open borders with the war on terror.

In short make these libtards defend their "Dear leader".

[Howie66]

Let us pray that Juan McLame is one of them.

Raul Grijalva is a US Representative and up every 2 years.

Not according to the AZ Attorney General and probable Democratic candidate for Governor Goddard.

PING! Respectfully, of course!

[SandRat]

Then there is no mention because his district is his own grant from the King of Spain in his mind and by the demographics.

[RedMDer]

Sad but probably true.

[pfflier]

His opponents are campaigning right now.

PING! Respectfully, of course!

That's funny. It seems that respect is hard to come by unless you are a dead troll.

[freekitty]

Definate possibility.

[50mm]

The gall of McShame to plant a troll here on FR!

Raul Grijalva, like all House members is up for re-election this year. He is in a "safe" district, that was drawn so only he, or someone like him could be elected.

It looks like he may not be re-elected.
