Does he have a good chance of winning the primary and/or general election, or will this Salmon be swimming upstream?

Salmon has a VERY good chance of winning. His track record in Arizona is excellent. He is lining up support from alot of well known Republicans here. Other Republicans who are considering running don't have the "gravitas" IMHO. Democrats here in AZ are still weak. Although their candidate, State AG, Janet Napolitano (frequently referred to as Janet Napoli-RENO), is popular, there are still more registered Republicans in this state than Democrats and she's gonna have an uphill fight.
