Sure don't look like Arizona, does it.
FWIW, I now live in Arizona and don't believe what you read in the press. I have now spent a year in Tucson and it is not much different from the S.F. Bay area in terms of politics. We are not all rightwing nutcases, they just get all the press.

Do I think Obama can win here? Oh hell yes!

Kamala has been described as the "female Obama"and having heard her give some speeches during the last election cycle - where she won by a squeek - Id have to agree.

She's got spirit and spunk. She sparkles like the President does. Its probably nice to be around someone with that similar shine and can take a floor, rather than cow tow to The President. She's a force to be reckoned with for sure. Perhaps a future President in the making with the AG? Time will tell.
