Three people have signed up to run for governor in next year's election, including two conservatives who say they're in the race specifically to counter Jan Brewer's tax-increase proposal. Brewer, who fell into the governor's chair when Janet Napolitano eloped with President Obama, has yet to file paperwork for the 2010 election.

The source is a little bias but the information is there. The Roy Miller guy seems to be the strongest challenger so far, but the whole field(Brewer included) seems very weak. Especially when a candidate complains that "She's more interested in fiscal problems than moral problems"...

I've also been hearing that Phil Gordon is planning to run.

Phil Gordon, Terry Goddard or Jim Pederson. Hopefully Gordon.

Goddard is probably the strongest candidate for the Democrats.

Gordon would get whipped by just about any Republican candidate.

Major Republican alternatives to Brewer have not publicly emerged (yet).

Brewer may have dug her own political grave by touting tax increases.  Although, now that a couple of major opinion polls have shown the public (especially Republican voters) are massively opposed to such increases, she may back off her enthusiasm for increasing taxes.

Forgive my limited knowledge of Arizona politics, but why would Gordon be such a weak candidate?

Well, right now he is going through a divorce which may well turn nasty.

Also, he is an advocate of amnesty.
