1. I spent a day there last week. It's a pretty nice place, actually.

Lots of good people live there.

2. Correction: what a place Arizona COULD be.

It is a beautiful state with too many teabaggers. hopefully it will go blue one day.

3. I live here, I'm liberal, and I like it.

I meet people from all over the country and all over the world.
We have lots of sunshine and beautiful scenery from deserts to mountains to pine forests.
We have good and we have bad.

I'd say it's much like many places I've been around the country.

4. Y yo también.

5. Have been many times, from Walpi in Hopi country to Tucson

It's a beautiful and interesting place, and I'd gladly return. Judging a place by its politics wouldn't put the best light on much of the world, let alone Arizona.

7. Don't get me wrong...

Indiana is hardly a bastion of liberalism and there's a crank from the Indy suburb of Carmel that wants to implement a tough local immigration law too. But thankfully, the Dems have outmaneuvered him every time he's tried it and local business support is lukewarm to say the least.

Still...as a lawyer, this law seems so bizarre and with all the Latinos in Arizona, I guess I'm wondering how in the hell something like this could happen. Is it the drug stuff on the border that has people scared?

6. I live in Yuma now but sure miss Tucson - lived there for 20 years but it is too late to go back,

now!!! The town had only 39,000 people in 1944 - WOW!!!

8. It has McCain as one of its senators what should that tell you.

9. The Most Beautiful Desert in the World...

inhabited by some of the dumbest, meanest, richest, craziest MFer's in America.

How quickly we forget; This is the state the decided it was better to lose the Superbowl than let MLK's B-Day a holiday.

This is the state that elected a used car salesman as governor and was shocked when he turned out to be a thief.

This is the state that was so sick of coming in third, they dedicated years to beating out Mississippi for the worst education system in the nation.

This is the state that decided those pansy-ass pussies in 19th century Tombstone were too timid and knew nothing about guns when they banned them from bars.

This state that was once represented by people like George Hunt, Isabella Greenway, Carl Hayden, and even Barry Goldwater, now chooses Jan Brewer and Joe Arpaio as their face.
