In case you missed it, Sheriff Joe Arpaio has finally acknowledged his election opponent, Paul Penzone, by creating a fantasy account of what happened between Penzone and his wife in a 2003 altercation.
Arpaio won’t debate Penzone, nor has he made any mention of him, until this ad was released, accusing Penzone of “hitting a woman” — something only Arpaio has accused Penzone of doing.

Arpaio’s even been careful to acknowledge the race’s third-wheel candidate, former Scottsdale police Lieutenant Mike Stauffer, usually referring to him as something like that Scottsdale guy.
With Arpaio’s new ad directly targeting Penzone, though, is it a sign that the Sheriff’s getting a little desperate?
