For Arizonans and others with info: Joe Arpaio

[hyphenate]

Arpaio is up for reelection this year. After all the Federal indictments and judgements against him, with much bad press on him, and his megalomaniaal actions (not to mention the "birther" shit), what are the chances he might lose the election this year?

I know he's widely popular with the bigots in AZ, especially Maricopa County, but is there any kind of movement to take him down this year?

1. There are two people running against him.

One, an independent, is a former Republican. The other is a Democrat. Both are unknown. I am not optimistic.

2. Thanks! eom

3. This POS gets his major support for all the Mormons in Mesa(Mormons everywhere stay away) the

largest single all white voting bloc in his county. These folks just suck the life out of a city or county whence they get control. bunch of corrupt hypocrites.

5. Arizona doesn't need him

I'd welcome seeing him in a Supermax prison--that's where he belongs.

4. WTF? Didn't he just have his 80th birthday?

I thought I saw that here on DU.
Besides being a corrupt, bigoted, racist piece of shit, isn't he just too old?

6. Yeah

He's old, but he holds a lot pf power. And he defies everyone. He thinks he can just get away with anything he wants.
