Arizona Treasurer Dean Martin is holding a press conference this morning where he claims to have a "major announcement" regarding his candidacy for governor.

Governor Jan Brewer, according to the latest Rasmussen poll, has about a 27-point lead over not only Martin but any other candidate in the race.

Brewer got a big boost in popularity after passage of Prop 100 and signing SB 1070, so any major announcement Martin or any other candidate may have (assuming it's not finding a dead hooker in the trunk of Brewer's car) may be a little late.

We want to know what you think: Can anyone in the race for governor beat Brewer given her current wave of popularity?

Vote -- and see the results of yesterday's poll -- after the jump.

Yesterday's poll question: Was Joe Arpaio's raid of a Burlington Coat Factory a waste of time?

-23 percent say yes.

-6 percent say no.

71 percent say every second Arpaio is sheriff is a waste of time.
