It looks to me as if Mr Kelly is on track to win this race. As you say, Ms McSally is doing herself no good by following the McConnell hypocritical juggernaut. If she changes her mind it it can only be that she has decided to do the right thing (not that any evidence exists that she ever does the right thing), because I don’t think it would improve her chances of winning this election and I assume she know this.
While we now live in California, we still own property in Tucson, and I read the Sentinel with regularity, Just wanted to share with my pals in Tucson that Californians are supporting Mark Kelly in unexpected numbers. Both my wife and I have donated to his campaign. He will win I am confident, and it will make being a Winter Visitor all the more fun!
