Breaking News: Joe Arpaio running for Senate.
This should be interesting. He has a lot of support in non-urban areas of the state.
This should be interesting. He has a lot of support in non-urban areas of the state.
Hopefully he wins the primary!
Why?
First I doubt that Joe Arpaio is the Republican party choice in the state to be the Senate candidate. The party would prefer someone more moderate IMO.
Second Joe Arpaio as a Senate candidate would greatly increase the voter turn-out in non-rural areas of Arizona. Remember this includes the suburbs that also tend to strongly support him.
Inversely it would also empower and increase the Democratic turnout in Arizona in the general election. However the Democratic stronghold are localized to the urban areas of the state which are not greatly sizeable. It is not like Arizona has a city the size of New York, Chicago, or LA in the middle of it.
We will see what the polling and other information reveals in the upcoming week; however if Joe Arpaio wins the Republican nomination then he may very well be the new Arizona senator. I am sure that this is not something the Democrats want.

Such as making prisoners wear pink and not letting them watch HBO on tv?The amount of human rights abuse under his watch that'd be exposed would ensure a Moore-like outcome... Except with more Hispanics.
