For the 2010 Arizona Governor's Race, Conservatives Need Superior Organization
Another blue governor in a red state is untenable.
Liberal bloggers are already slamming non-liberals candidates, but with Terry Goddard in the race, they are in the same position as conservativesÑfacing an uninspiring race in 2010.
Jan Brewer repeats the mistakes of George Bush and is setting the stage for hissing at Republicans. Conservatives need to constrast the difference between conservative and Republican this year. Not next year. But here's the reason for so little buzz on the topic of the 2010 Race. These contenders who are considering a run or suspected of considering a run:
Janelle L. Wood - Insurance Agent
Jan Brewer - Governor - Big tax lady has already got the AZ Republic in her corner.
John Paul Mitchell - http://aznextgov.org/- Currently a call center manager and an ordained Sanatana Dharma Swami. But he opposes government support of illegal aliens and taxes.
Karen Johnson - Former AZ House Rep. from Show Low. Ron Paul-esque. She's being slammed left and right by the left right out of the gate. Good for maintaining states rights.
Hugh Kealer - http://www.hughkealer.com/ - Business Accountant
Tim Willis - http://twillis4gov.com/ - Pastor of Congress Community Church (CCC)
Roy "Does anyone seriously believe that we have a shortage of lawyers?" Miller http://www.azcentral.com/members/Blog/Roy5815/ - Helped found the Goldwater Institute. A moderate who said he'll step down if a brand name candidate gets into the race.
Terry Goddard - State Attorney General who tried to shafted Arizona voters on Prop. 200 along with budget-wrecker Janet Napolitano. His father, Sam Goddard, served as Arizona’s Governor in the 60s.
Barry Goldwater Jr. - Goldwater Institute. Supported by Ron Paul.
Speculation:
John Shadegg
Jeff Flake
JD Hayworth
Treasurer Dean Martin
