http://swingstateproject.comContinuing our totally excellent series of threads on recruitment possibilities for senatorial and gubernatorial contests in 2010, we now turn our attention to Arizona, where things could get very interesting.
Popular incumbent Democratic Gov. Janet Napolitano is term-limited, and she seems to be everyone's first choice to run for the Senate seat of John McCain, which will also be up in 2010. It remains to be seen whether McCain will run for another term (I bet not, but you never know), but Napolitano's name has already been floated as a potential Attorney General pick in the Obama Administration, which would take the most obvious choice off the table.
Supposing that Napolitano can't or won't make a Senate run in 2010, who might the Democrats run in her place? Who would step up for the Republicans if McCain calls it quits? And, for that matter, who should run for the Governor's office in the Copper State?
