Martha McSally (R) vs Krysten Sinema (D) - I live in AZ, and it is interesting to see how negative the ads are for this seat. It seems that McSally has a small lead.

If you think that women can't play hard ball politics, these two are both proving you wrong.

Sinema is up 6 in the latest Emerson poll, McSally is long shot to win at this point, I think it will only be a matter of time till the GOP pulls funding.

Sienna appears to have the advantage. McSally lead in the first poll following the Primary, however since then Sinema has led in 5 of the last 6 public polls and each of the last four. With that said it is still close. .

They won't pull funding because there are only 2 other R seats that are in any danger- NV and TN. So they need to shore this one up.


I still think the R advantage in AZ is the same as it is in other states- people can prefer whoever they like but they need to actually vote to have representation. Rs outpace their demographic shares in AZ because they show up on election day. Dems need to overcome that tendency and have Simena outdraw party percentages. If she does win it will have been a major event.

McSally's biggest problem is that Arizona starts voting in a week by mail and 2 weeks in person.she can't afford to try to make up the gap by simply getting same day voters .

That was Democrats main strategy in the Arizona special election , and while the Democrat didn't win, they closed the gap.

Texas is also an R seat in danger.

Is McSally that hard right winger that the McCains shunned?

You must have missed the memo on Texas, different groups who back GOP candidates have made some huge buys in recent weeks to prop up Cruz, who looks like he is on the ropes.

Just think.

If the greedy warmongering John McCain had released his seat in time, instead of hanging on until the end, the citizens of AZ would have had the very unique opportunity of voting in two Senators this year.

It would have made some political history. And brought a fascinating dynamic to this race too.
