2010 Senate Election in Arizona

[Alexander Hamilton]

John McCain is going to vote against Sotomayor. I bet that's going to heavily factor into his chances for reelection.

He will probably still win, but it will probably cost the RSCC money to retain him for the next congress.

Only if he has a primary challenge and even then.  The no vote on Sotomayor actually helps McCain - AZ is a very red state despite the rumors to the contrary.

I have liberal and conservative family in Tucson, but that is the liberal bastion of AZ. Also some more rural areas are surprisingly liberal.

AZ in a nutshell:
Foresty areas - artists, Wiccans, communes with logging and other communities, balances out to a small liberal advantage
Urban areas - incredibly conservative whites and Mexicans, Scottsdale is full of rich white liberals, east Phoenix (where I am) are middle class conservatives, Chandler and Mesa are mormon and middle class meccas, Tempe (ASU) is full of conservative students and believe it or not professors, Tucson (U of A) the liberal college in Arizona
Rural areas without reservations - conservative
Rural areas with Indian reservations - liberal
Mining towns - conservative

yeah my grandpa went to u of a. my moms uncle was a draft dodger during nam but mo udall saved his ass.

I go to ASU right now, my friends at U of A are incredibly socialist.  For some reason they love it and stay down there.  I don't know why, the place practically shuts down at 6pm and the rattlesnakes are pretty nasty there too - as a side note.

And the heat is terrible! Ack! But yes, someone from my high school is going to ASU I forgot which one.

Nah dude, the heat is great!  It isn't the heat where sweat doesn't evaporate because of the humidity and I think you can breathe better.

No, AZ has a miserable heat. I know heat. I live in Bakersfield, CA. We got heat!

Actually, my friends all laugh at me when I speak of the glories of 100+ degree weather.  Seriously, you live here long enough its natural.  What's unnatural is when it dips to 60 degrees and it feels like the arctic tundra.

ugh, does your part of AZ get monsoons? We had some in Tucson. Yuck.
