Sheriff Joe Arpaio says he could lose if recall race is called

PHOENIX (AP) - Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio says he's afraid he could lose his post if his critics succeed in forcing a recall election against him.

The sheriff said in a fundraising email Sunday that he's afraid he could lose if he doesn't fight back.

Recall organizers say they're facing fundraising difficulties and relying more on volunteers rather than paid professionals to gather petition signatures.

They say they've gathered nearly 150,000 of the 335,000 signatures required by May 30 to prompt the election.

I have often wondered how this sociopathic douchebag keeps getting elected. Hopefully the good people of Maricopa County will gather the necessary signatures and fire his ass.

My aunt lives in Cave Creek and hates that man almost as much as I do. I'll convince her to sign the petition.

Exit doors at the jails and get more support as the prisoners walk out after serving their time under his rule.

I hope the door hits him hard on the backside on his way out. Of course, I could see him throwing a hissy fit when he loses and go on a dangerous rampage.
