GOP extremists lose in AZ Primary!
Encouraging sign for Arizona - at least seven of the craziest GOP lawmakers lost in the primary last night - including one Congressional Candidate that Sarah Palin campaigned Monday for!!!
The Pearce brothers, Lori Klein, Ron Gould, Kirk Adams, Ben Quayle, and Wil Cardon were high-profile tea party extremists - all lost to sane GOP'ers last night.
Hopefully, the start of the end for the wacko branch of the GOP in Arizona.

I wouldn't exactly call him a tea partier.
Now Gould? Wow...

Re: GOP extremists lose in AZ Primary!
I'm surprised that you think David Schweikert and Jeff Flake are sane, Jon. Or are they just sane compared to the others.dbackjon wrote:Encouraging sign for Arizona - at least seven of the craziest GOP lawmakers lost in the primary last night - including one Congressional Candidate that Sarah Palin campaigned Monday for!!!

Flake and Schweikart, while I disagree with a lot of their views, actually show signs of reason and intellectual ability.
Just like I was very happy Gosar beat Gould, Salmon beat Adams, etc - I may not align with their views, but at least I have some faith in their thought process.

Used to be - looking at the new map, your district is considered CD 6 now.

Still, you would have had to put up with Quayle had he won
Now you get to vote for Schweikart.
I am now in CD9 - should be a good race between Sinema and Parker

I didn't vote yesterday....but am glad Schweikert won. He's a much better alternative than Quayle.

Under old districting you were CD3. As of this election, you are CD6
And yes, Schweikert is much, much better than Quayle
