What Democrat will run in Arizona in 2018?

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Only plausible hope that would turn this into a tossup and could possibly beat Flake is Mark Kelly.

This is assuming that Jeff Flake doesn't lose the nomination to Kelli Ward.

No, he's winning the primary no question about it. His vunerability in the primaries is overated. But if Ward won, it would go from lean R to tilt R with a regular democrat, and lean R to tilt D with Mark Kelly.

I wish Kelley or Giffords would run, its interesting how they are both pro gun reform but are likely the best dems to win, Compared to Kirkpatrick who was pro gun.
If Dewitt runs I expect Sinema to run as well but the chances of Dewitt doing so is slim.
At the same time it should be mentioned that Kelly ward does have a decent following... I mean check out her facebook. these guys are super loyalist.

Giffords is not in the best physical shape to be running, I would totally respect it if she just remained retired throughout her life, but Kelly should give it a go, who knows, he could be what Bill Nelson is to Florida...

Or what Glenn was to Ohio.

Yes, that's also a good analogy.

... Is it? Ohio and Florida have special ties to space and good reason to love astronauts. Kelly is a good man from all I can tell, but that doesn't make him Nelson or Glenn.

America loves astronauts, especially ones who are more moderate, have a popular wife, good family values, name recognition, and a highly decorated naval veteran who served in the gulf war. And not yet, but he definitely has the potential. No pushover for sure.

Yeah. She's consolidating the Trumpist/anti-Flake vote from the looks of it. She's probably so toxic as to move it to leans safe D.

Ain't no way a chemtrail conspiracy theorist is winning a Senate seat

yeah, she is way overated and flake's vulnerability is way overated in both the primary and the general.
