CD-1 one of the hottest races in the country
By Wally EdgeStuart Rothenberg of the Rothenberg Political Report has the latest House ratings. Of the races that are up for grabs Arizona has three that have made the competitive grade.
Rothenberg lists CD1 as a pure toss-up. AZ’s CD1 is one of only 15 pure toss-up districts in the country which will mean lots of national attention from both sides.
Ann Kirkpatrick is the leading Democrat in CD1, but still needs to get through Howard Shanker, Mary Kim Titla and Jeff Brown for the Democratic nomination. On the Republican side Sydney Hay is the current front runner against Preston Korn and former senate President Ken Bennett is considering entering the race.
Freshmen Congressmen Harry Mitchell of CD5 and Gabrielle Giffords of CD8 are both in lean Democrat districts. Mitchell will be facing one of several Republicans currently vying for the primary and Giffords will be facing senate President Tim Bee in November.

Quote of the Day
"One of the few areas where Governor Napolitano and I have agreed is that Washington has not done its job when it comes to securing our borders and protecting our nation. Now the governor will get the opportunity to either fix a bad situation or become part of the problem. I honestly wish her well.” -- State Republican Party Chairman Randy Pullen
