As I've stated in other posts here, she often lashes out rather rudely and then when it hits her in the face, she says that she didn't mean for it to sound that way, etc. Bull. She knows exactly what she's doing.

How many here want to guess if she will run/win a second term as governor?

I wonder who her other half is, really!! Has anyone ever seen her with a significant other? Did you know that her father is/was dating Pete Dominici's sister?

Please tell is the romantic story behind Squaw Peak. I love hearing/reading historical stories about Arizona.
