The Senate battle between Martha McSally and Mark Kelly shows just how much Arizona is changing

In Arizona, shifting demographics and President Trump’s divisive style helped Democrat Mark Kelly open up a polling lead over GOP Sen. Martha McSally.

This race is an especially pivotal one for Senate Republicans, who are trying to hold on to their majority amid what both Republican and Democratic strategists predict could be a “blue wave.”

“The first thing in this race we need to talk about is that Kelly is the best Senate candidate in the country running as a Democrat,” said a longtime Republican political strategist in Arizona.

1. Arizona may be changing

But Kelly's imminent wipe out of McSally could also be a function of a very good candidate running against a very bad candidate.

2. I'm a southern Arizonan

McSally is absolutely awful, but I wouldn’t be too surprised to find there is also some misogyny involved.

Go Kelly!
