A funny thing happened on the way to the forum. Actually at the forum for the Arizona district eight candidates. Just saw this on youtube and now posted on Jeff Latas' web site.
Youtube video of spat.
This was also posted on Jeff Latas' site, under his events page plus Latas' opening and closing. You should take a look.
Scroll down to "past events" and there's the link. You may wish to take a look at other events he's attended and the also take a look at his news page to get a feel for this guy.

This next clip is where a question was directly asked to put Latas on the spot. He has been questioned about his supporting any of the candidates. The Giffords camp was convinced that Latas was not going to back her so there was a plant in the audience that specifically asked if they would support the Democratic nominee. One candidate that was intentional not invited, Bill Johnson, and was not present on the panel. Bill Johnson is a right wing nut. Because this question was about party unity, Latas addresses this with class and puts the "Merlot" Dems in the hot seat for not inviting all the candidates and then expresses that his endorsementing for someone like Johnson would be unlikely. The other candidates unquestionably said they would endorse any candidate to which I assume would include Johnson. Not good!
Patty Weiss gets the floor next. I thought she did a good job letting people know that the "Merlots" were hijacking the event and if given the chance, she would gladly let everyone know the differences. Gabby next. I thought she was doing an outstanding job. She told Patty that Democrats don't go negative and in the same breath, told Patty she was nothing more then a Fox News Reporter. Oh well, one step forward three steps back. Latas gets the floor next. Outstanding job setting the record straight on the State Senate bill that was being discussed and points to the fact that Giffords is the only Dem that didn't vote for the bill and cost Arizonans big $$. Wal Mart gets a big welfare check and continues to oppress their employees and we get the bill. Check it out.
The cat fight
Latas also posted his closing.
