Sounds great to me.. of course it is up to the voters of Arizona but if Jan runs for the U.S. Senate I will send her a check.

Rep. Jeff Flake very likely to enter #AZSEN race in “coming days,” per GOP source.

Hmmmm, could this have been in the cards all along???

First, Bristol Palin announces she's buying a house in Arizona - Link

Then, a Phoenix radio station announces it's offered her a job - Link

Then she lets leak she's writing a memoir - Link

Then Bristol announces that she may run for office some day - Link

And all of a sudden, BANG! Kyl annouces his retirement. Watch for the Bristol for Senate exploratory committed to start fundraising soon.

Webb, Kyl, the idiot Lee, all in less than 24 hours?

Well for Webb it was probably the fact that he had little chance of winning re-election that motivated his decision.

Well, he had his chance, it seems to me, and was unable to have much of an impact. But, who knows?

There’s also Matt Salmon, who lost to Napolitano for governor, and Jeff Flake.

Trent Franks looks pretty solid, with a lot of experience, and strong conservative positions.

ALL incumbants are going to have a hard time in 2012 ! The movement to FIRE CONGRESS is alive and well... a clean sweep is needed to take back our country ... will that mean that some “good senior folks” need to go? short answer.. YES !

IMHO, you guys are coming at this from the wrong direction.

Plain and simple, this is Jim Robinson’s web site. He is the ruler, he is the king, this belongs to him, not us. He has dedicated his life to having this web site be a beacon of conservatism in a very liberal world.

Since it is 100% his site, we are lucky he lets us share it. All he asks in return is that we follow his rules. Not a bad deal if you ask me.

It has always been an advocacy site.
There have also always been people signing up who were too stupid to read the front page.

I am not saying this necessarily about these three, but OVERALL I bet the Senate and House folks are thinking, “dang the end of the gravy train is here. No more slush funds, high paying parties, etc. Now I seriously have to live on 137,000 dollars a year. Oh and there is not enough money to take back to my constituents for their pet projects. What fun is it being in the Senate or House now.
