A new Rocky Mountain poll shows current AZ governor Janet Napolitano with a commanding lead over her nearest Republican opponents.
Rocky Mountain Poll
The poll shows Napolitano crushing her likely Republican opponent Don Goldwater, nephew of Republican icon Barry Goldwater 58 to 24 percent. She also crushes conservative Christian activist Len Munsil by 57 to 17 percent.
I love this quote.
Pollster Earl de Bergesaid Napolitano's lead might be "insurmountable."
"With only a quarter or less of voters in the undecided column, the probability that Napolitano could be defeated is very small," de Berge said.
For all intents and purposes unless Napolitano makes a massive misstep or one of the Republicans can suddenly walk on water, this race is pretty much done. Everything I have heard from talking to friends and coworkers indicates the majority will vote for Napolitano because "she has not done anything wrong". The Republicans are putting up someone whose greatest claim to fame is he is the Nephew of Barry Goldwater. The only other possible challenger is Len Munsil, a fundie activist that will not go over very well in a general election.
Hopefully, Janet has some coattails and can help Pederson, Mitchell and who ever are the Dem in cd 8 some help. Also a few more Dems in the legislature would definitely help.
