Blog for Arizona sees dangerous times for the state if Napolitano steps down and allows Republican Jan Brewer to become governor:
Anne Denogean, in the Tucson Citizen also sees problems for Arizona Democats:
An ill wind is BREWERing in Arizona. Things are going to get ugly over the next two years. This is a crowd that believes in Grover Norquist's dream of shrinking the size of government down to the size "where we can drown it in the bathtub." As the national economy falters under the weight of the failure of the supply-side, trickle-down tax cuts for the rich, no government regulations, anything goes because "greed is good" voo-doo Reaganomics, this crowd believes the answer is to double down and give us more of the same failure.
It's a prospect that has Republicans in the Legislature - and they control both the House and the Senate - salivating. Not surprisingly, it has their Democratic counterparts nauseated with fear.
It has many progressive advocates in the state wondering what a premature departure would mean for the causes Napolitano has championed, including education, health care and the preservation of reproductive rights.
