Primary is about a month and a half away. I honestly don't closely follow politics. I did go to a few Kari Lake rallys. If you've seen my posts in GD, I comment that the GOP here puts up basically goofus candidates. Why are they not more prevalent? I've seen Hobbs ads on TV, but no Republicans. |

The media follows a very strict script, and it always favors the Dems. I listen to KTAR (regretfully) for traffic on the way to work and on the way home. All those assholes do is push dem topics, and rarely have anyone but Dems or people pushing socialist policies. Governor Hobbs once a week, Meghan McCain once a week, a "round table" that usually only has one conservative member on tne panel, and they're quickly and incessantly shut down or dismissed as crazy when they're allowed to speak. We don't watch regular TV, but I'd assume it's just as bad. |
Looking back I realize, nothing have I done
Left to die with only friend,
Alone I clench my gun

Ok, I moved back here 11 months ago. I just looked at BallotPedia. Seems like there are 4 republicans running against hobbs. Which one has the best shot at getting rid of her? And down ballot as well. Sec State - 2 "R"'s Which one? A.G. 2 R's Treasurer 2R's Sure I can look at the candidates slick websites. But I have seen what splitting the republican vote does. Who is the 2a community supporting? |

Talked about all the deals he made with the demonrats. Called them fondly by name. One of the builders also bragged about all the deals he made while in DC, and favors Mail In Ballots. The other builder wants only in person day of voting. The idea of killing property tax for those over age 65 is kind of interesting. Unlike Prop 13 in CA that has the great grandchildren living in the ancestral home for $300 per year in property tax, the age 65 thing would be transitory and self resetting. Someone else wanted to kill the state income tax so that everyone from other states would flock here... So, back to my original question. Which ore has the best chance of defeating the democrat in office? |

Still, I’ll take a milquetoast republican in the governors office over that falsetto voiced veto factory we have in there now. |

According to the last poll, which may or not be bullshit it is.. 60% Biggs 26% undecided 10%Schweikert And goofy Hobbs is criticizing Biggs for not participating in the primary debate. She stayed home for the 2022 general election against Lake. |
