Such an upset would go a long way toward redeeming the district, proving it's not the exclusive province of far right, Pearce-worshipping a-holes. Otherwise, Mesa might as well paint a KKK on the welcome sign and call it a day.
NAPPY'S LAME

Democratic prez hopeful Barack Obama must be really desperate if he's calling on our lame-duck, do-nothing Governor Janet Napolitano to campaign for him, as was announced last week.
Nappy's endorsement was zero help to Obama in the Arizona primary. And if he thinks our mullet-headed guv is gonna do the trick with female voters in battleground states, he must be smokin' the really good ganja. Like the kind he used to score back in his high school days.
"I've still got a very busy day job," Napolitano told Fox 10, adding, with all the enthusiasm of a soggy Saltine. "But to the extent I have some extra time, I'll campaign for him."
"Extra time"? Who does she think she is, Sarah Palin? Nappy's got nothing but time. In fact, she's been idling her Volvo for the past six years, pretending that she's actually driving us somewhere. Now she's waiting around with her chunky pumps up on her desk, hoping Obama makes it in and she can score a cushy Cabinet post in D.C.
Plus, just days before, Nappy was actually defending McCain's veep choice Palin, a.k.a the Wing-nut from Wasilla, telling lapdog journo Howie Fischer that Palin's getting a raw deal 'cause she wears a skirt sometimes.
Whose side's this dumb wench on?
Remember how she similarly came to the defense of Russell Pearce? And, of course, Pearce won his primary. Guess you owe the guv a bouquet of roses, Russ.
Here's a news flash, Nappy: Palin's garnering fans and face time with the press in large part because she's a woman. She's a woman who's sassy, sexy and can hold an audience of pseudo macho-male GOPers in thrall. Unlike, the Napster, who makes everyone who hears her wanna take a nap.
The Bird also thinks Palin's a hypocrite and a dangerous religious fanatic. But she also has charisma, albeit the charisma of a hot real estate agent looking to sell you a run-down condo. The Dems shouldn't counter her with yawn-inducing nudniks like Nappy.
