Attorney General Terry Goddard withdrew as the state’s attorney in its defense of S1070, saying Gov. Jan Brewer made it clear that she was unwilling to work with him for the benefit of the state.

Goddard in May announced his intention to defend the state in several lawsuits filed against its strict new illegal immigration law, but Brewer said he could not be relied on to mount Arizona’s defense because of critical comments he had made about S1070.

Goddard said he never questioned the law’s constitutionality, and said Brewer was motivated by politics, not the state’s best interests. Brewer is seeking the Republican nomination for a full term as governor, and will face the Democratic Goddard in November if she wins the Aug. 24 primary.

“I’ve given it some hard thought, and although I have no question there is no legal way the attorney general can be removed from a case like this, I don’t think it’s in the best interests of Arizona to have a very expensive and noisy sideshow about who should represent the state,” Goddard said.

1. Meanwhile... yesterday Goddard was named AG of the year.

But the unelected accidental governor doesn't think he can represent the state.

2. He is gonna run against her

3. Oops, I neglected to mention that...

both things - Terry running and Brewer being mean. She's also not up to the job. Here's a link to the GOP candidate debate from earlier this week. Her opening remarks begin about 3:50 - check out her grammar. She comes across as a buffoon.

4. Her coming across as a buffoon is probably the only honest thing she has done

Will watch the video later, if I have a drink or three. Can't watch her without chemical mood adjustments.

5. Brewer

Maybe this is a misogynistic, sexist, comment, but, no woman with as many wrinkles as this one has should be wearing taffy blonde shoulder length hair. And that updo is "so yesterday" to quote Fiorina.
