And THEN runs for Senator? Counting on Obama voters?

Rep. Martha McSally (R-Ariz.) on Friday released a video of her Arizona Senate race opponent, Rep. Kirsten Sinema (D), referring to Arizona's legislature as the "meth lab" of democracy during a Netroots Nation address in 2011.
"You can see in this very quote that the states are laboratories of democracy," Sinema says in the video, gesturing to a slideshow that is offscreen.
"And my state, Arizona, is clearly the meth lab of democracy."
It was unclear under what context Sinema made the comment, which elicits laughter and cheers from the audience.
"I cannot take credit for that line. Somebody at the Daily Show wrote it. But I'm happy to steal it and use it all the time," Sinema goes on to say.
In a tweet, McSally's campaign wrote that Sinema's comment was evidence of how the Democrat "mocks" her home state.
CAUGHT ON CAMERA AGAIN: @kyrstensinema mocks Arizona: "Arizona is clearly the meth lab of democracy."
— McSally For Senate (@MarthaMcSally) October 12, 2018 McSally's campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Hill regarding the video.
Sinema's campaign spokeswoman, Helen Hare, called the video a "ridiculous" effort by McSally to lash out at her opponent.
"This is yet another ridiculous and desperate attack from Congresswoman McSally and her Washington allies," Hare said in an email.
"Kyrsten was fighting back against out-of-state special interests who were working to take away Arizonans' health care, make tuition more expensive, and hurt Arizona families. Bottom line, Kyrsten will always stand up for Arizonans," she added.
The Arizona Senate race remains a tight battle between McSally and Sinema, with Sinema holding a slight advantage in most polling according to election analysis blog FiveThirtyEight as they compete for the Senate seat previously held by Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.).
McSally has blamed her polling deficit in the traditionally-red state on moderate Republicans.
"We need Republicans to vote Republican. We’ve got some moderate Republicans who have seemed to have drank Kyrsten Sinema’s koolaid in the polling and we need to bring them back home," McSally said in an interview with The Jeff Oravits Show.
"We need the base and those who voted for President Trump also to be getting out to vote and be energized," she added.
However, an ABC15-OH Insights poll this week showed McSally with a 6-point lead over Sinema.
Perhaps this is the turning point for the AZ GOP.
Stop working for Harry Reid and start working for AZ voters.
It was unclear under what context Sinema made the comment
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pretty sure she was referring to SB 1070 whereby the state had tried to stem the invasion of fraudulently documented foreigners.
AZ was told by the court they could not enforce the laws.
Now, we here in TN are waiting for Marsha Blackburn to release ads of Bredesen’s aide calling Tennessee voters “ignorant”.
I’m not a fan of McSally at all and consider her another hack in the tradition of the Arizona Wing of GOP Inc like McCain or Flake.
But sheesh, this Sinema really has a lot of contempt for her voters, huh?
She was speaking at netroots nation.
This event used to be called yearly Kos, as it is sponsored by the liberal radical Daily Kos site.
So she wanted to prove to those daily Kos types at netroots nation that she was liberal.
McSally also released a video of Sin-Enema protesting dressed in all pink wearing a tutu.
Sinema says the tape was “edited”. If that the case, she should release the entire unedited tape to prove it.
Bet she won’t.
ALL libs think like this..this is how they feel about America..its just when they are caught on tape you can see them for what they truly are
Here is a link to a meme picture with her protesting the military after 9-11
I’m on my cell and can’t post pics.
I hope Trump does a rally in AZ.
51 r senators 5 races left mont nev ind Mila and an outside shot at wv
Why would anyone use such an obnoxious 'joke' about their own state?
She shouldn't be repeating "THE DAILY SHOW' jokes. She should be offended by them.
Most people representing their state defend their state not openly mock it even in jest.
Sin’Enema is an out and out Marxist. Its what they do.
I hear that the dear leader Mitt the shits Romney is on the way down to campaign for McSally.
Just dandy...WTH?
