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 states immigration law to a local Arizona outlet: (all emphasis is mine)

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.

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".

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

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

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.
