Farnworth getting ready to go in LD22 Senate Primary
By Wally EdgeJust a week ago Inside Edge reported State Rep Eddie Farnsworth was leaning towards not launching a primary challenge against Senate Majority Leader Thayer Verschoor. Farnsworth had been under pressure not to challenge Verschoor, who is the likely successor to Senate President Tim Bee, if Bee were to win his Congressional race. Under normal circumstances the two would change seats, but with Verschoor in line to possibly be Senate President, that was unlikely to happen this year. With Farnsworth and Verschoor holding similar positions, insiders are worried this could quickly become a very personal race.

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
