According to Politico, Dems are looking to Gabby Giffords as a potential candidate to replace Jon Kyl; now this is true optimism and maybe even faith, and we can only cheer Gabby Giffords and her supporters on.

But even though questions about her health remain, Giffords’s astonishingly rapid recovery has left Democrats in Arizona and Washington looking to her as a potential candidate to replace retiring GOP Sen. Jon Kyl.
Giffords was mentioned as one possible contender for the 2012 race during a closed-door meeting of Senate Democrats on Thursday, two sources with knowledge of the meeting said.

Giffords wouldn't have had a chance against Kyl, in my humble opinion. If she fully recovers soon, she could beat a weaker GOP candidate.
ReplyDeleteHi anonymous,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. I'm not familiar enough with AZ politics to make a judgment on Giffords vs. Kyle, but I am deeply moved by the support she's receiving from her colleagues in congress.
Please do stop by again.
