Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, a centrist Democrat from Arizona who is trying to defend her seat after voting for three main items on President Barack Obama’s agenda — the health care overhaul, the stimulus bill and cap-and-trade – announced today that she had won endorsements from a number of local Arizona Republicans.

At a press conference today, the first-term “Blue Dog” Democrat welcomed the backing of former Arizona state Reps. Jennifer Burns and Pete Hershberger, both Republicans, as well as Sahuarita Mayor Lynne Skelton and Sierra Vista Mayor Robert Strain.

Where is McCain? I bet he is supporting her even though it does not mention it in the article.

LOL! Centrist? Really? Voted for Cap’N Tax, Obamacare, and the trillion dollar deficit “stimulous” bills that stimulated nothing but quid pro quo paybacks to Rat constituents, and you call that “centrist”? Sorry Danny, I live on Earth; not sure what planet you live on.
