“Adios Arpaio” campaign heats up in Arizona

The notoriously racist Tea Party darling likes to call himself "the toughest sheriff in the country," but it seems he is afraid to openly debate his main opponent, Paul Penzone. Arpaio, however, loves to talk to the news media, or to adoring small gatherings of Republican supporters, and out-of-state contributors. After 20 years in office, Arpaio is being challenged like never before. Public opinion polls show that Democratic candidate Penzone is slowly gaining on him to within 5.5 points, almost within the poll's margin of error. Independent candidate Mike Stauffer, who garnered over eight percent in the poll, is being urged to withdraw from the race and throw his support to Penzone. Press Briefings.
