AZ-SEN Class 1: Kelli or not-Kelli?

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

KYRSTEN SINEMA FOR U.S. SENATE!

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

That was probably the best announcement video I have ever watched. Brought tears to my eyes.

Anyways, Tossup against Flake (Although I think she will win) and Lean D against Ward.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

It's now official: Arizona Congresswoman Kyrsten Sinema (D) is running for Senate to take on incumbent Jeff Flake (R).

I support Flake but that was a very well done announcement video.

[Nyvin]

YES!!!

Jeff Flake ftw

[Holmes]

Jeff Flake ftw

Ok, I get partisanship, I do. But partisanship so strong that it causes someone to root for that turnip Jeff Flake? That's sad.

I like Flake's political stances my dude, whether he's a pansy or not I'd prefer him over weirdo chick #1 and Dem chick #2

Also insert but Hillary Clinton rebuttal here

HAIL TO THE QUEEN

Interesting. I would probably support her, since Kelly, Giffords, and Napolitano all almost definitely won't run.

The Flake For Senate twitter page is the funniest thing on the internet tonight. You can tell they are really reeeaacching to label Sinema as out of touch and a socialist. Both will fail considering Sinema lived in an abandoned gas station while Flakes upbringing is nothing of the sort. Socialist label will fail bc Sinema has been endorsed by the chamber of commerce in the past.

It's starting to look like many of the traditional right wing attacks/talking points won't work on Sinema

Cant call her a Pelosi minion
Or a socialist
Or out of touch with the middle class

Endorsed so far. I think she has a decent chance to beat Kelli Ward, who is now significantly ahead in the GOP primary (58-31% most recent poll).

Where is Greg Stanton? I thought he was talked about as one of the top Democratic candidates for this seat. Was I wrong? Because I've barely heard anything about him for months.

He is, but he'd be stronger in the GE than the primary.  So if you're Stanton, you can either A) risk ending your career in a bruising primary battle or B) run for a safe Democratic open house seat and wait for McCain's Senate seat to open up (pretty sure Stanton would clear the field under such circumstances).

A mayor of Phoenix can't win dog catcher in a statewide election. Especially Stanton, his involvement in the Phoenix Sheraton scandal hasn't been brought to much attention yet, it will hurt him in CD9 and would absolutely onliterate him statewide. AZ does not like fiscally irresponsible liberals.

LOL. Sinema's a blue dog, a capitalist, and voted against Pelosi 3 times.

In no way at all is that going to backfire, because Flake definitely has political instincts better than those of a lobster.

Arizona is a Gucci State. Sinema is unwelcome.

Sienna was +7 against Flake in early September...
