Good riddance.

Bingaman is a pro-partial-birth abortion idiot..............

Looks like rats abandoning a shrinking ship to me.

However, there are at least 3 parts of the shrinking ship called the National Democratic Party that are still holding steady -— California, New York and Illinois.

Jeff Flake is an Amnesty supporter.

Sheriff Arpaio - have you thunk it over yet?

The pinheads in the liberal state run “media” have already convinced everyone that their newest official DemocRAT victim, “Gabby”, has already won Kyl’s seat.

This is going to end up being a bloodbath.

Oops, did I just violate the new tone?

“Secretary Napolitano told senior Democratic Party leaders earlier this week that she will not seek Arizona’s open U.S. Senate seat in 2012,” DHS spokesperson Sean Smith said in a statement issued Friday. “She cares deeply about Arizona, but the Secretary intends to continue doing the job that the President asked her to do — protecting the American people from terrorism and other threats to our country. She’s focused on continuing to strengthen our counter-terrorism initiatives, border security, immigration enforcement, transportation and cyber security, and disaster preparedness.”

Flake is an amnesty supporter. I hope some other Rep runs in the primary.

Whether she runs or not, Napolitano will be out of a job after 2012, and it won’t be because Obama will replace her with someone else.

Arpaio has nothing to due with this. This is New Mexico, not Arizona.

My prediction is Governor Gary Johnson. However which is worse, amnesty or legal pot?

Senator is too small a job for him. I’d rather have him at Homeland Security.

Because that Bull Dyke realized she would get crushed.

“This is New Mexico, not Arizona.”

I never knew Janet Napolitano was governor of New Mexico! Any one else believe that?

Listen Fossil - I suggest you go back and read the article. They’re talking about a Senate seat in Arizona.

Yep, holding steady with a glidepath straight into the economic abyss. (more like a terminal flat spin)

Okay my bad. This article is confusing, talking about New Mexico and Arizona. And the thread keeps bouncing between the two. In my confused state of mind (too much popcorn floating in rum) I have merged the two discussions into one.

To clarify, I only know about New Mexico. Bingaman is out and the Republicans had better win the seat. I see only two possible winners, Gery Johnson and John Barela who lost to Heinrich because he started campaigning too late.

The list the Washington Post has for both sides is silly, however there are no other Democrats other than the list of losers they had in the article. That is one reason I think the Republicans should win this.

My apologies to those on this thread speaking for Arizona that I admonished.

Thanks, I did not catch that one. I only copied it as posted.

Yes it’s big fun to watch them implode.
The unfortunate part is I know in my heart I’ll wind up paying to bail them out.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano will not seek the seat being vacated by Sen.Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.)

Big Sis could not be elected "Dog Catchers Assistant" here in Arizona.
