Arizona 8th Calls the Race

With 60% of Cochise County reporting 48% to 34% Randy Graf over Steve Huffman.

That should be enough to seal the deal.

Not exactly the blowout you Graf supporters were expecting was it?

Rep. Giffords has a nice ring to it - better get used to it.

Whoever is posting using my name needs to knock it off...especially since I predicted a Graf win LONG before the flashlights and teenagers crashed the party...but never said it would be a "blowout." But, you split the anti-Graf vote and look what you get!

However, I agree that Rep. Giffords sound very cool!

Graf pulled basically the same level of support he did two years ago. He has a ceiling and he has hit it, that is why the NRCC is out.

Rep. Giffords does sound cool.

Randall-

You're so full of it. Toni Hellon was beat on shear principle!! Her voting record (which sides more with the Dem values than with Rep values) speaks everything about her. The people have come out and said that they want someone who actually represents their principles. Sorry, Randall, no radicals here.

Everyone was saying that the Dems would be the ones to turn out in this primary and that the Reps would stay home. Boy did that turn out to be wrong. The Republicans DID come out in greater numbers than the Dems contrary to popular opinion. If this trend holds and the general runs right down party lines (which wouldn't be too far off with some Dems crossing over also), then Graf will win. Narrowly, but he'll win. You're the only one shooting people in the feet.

Based on the numbers from tonight, Graf has a chance. Sure it will be a tough race against Giffords. She's a solid candidate with money and even some grassroots support. But Graf has a better chance than anyone has been projecting.

If you quit rolling your dope some time, you might see reality.

Well, if Huffman lost this primary, then the Republicans just lost a seat. Randy Graf is far too conservative to carry district eight. Essentially, the democrats won.
