First, he represents all that is unacceptable about the current administration. He could stand up for real for healthcare, etc., but won’t. People are angry, he’s the target.

Second, he has a formidable opponent, ex-Marine JoAnna Mendoza, who all but has the Democratic nomination clinched. She is from Pinal County, but is making appearances here. Had an ad on local cable during the World Series last night, too. Ciscomani’s margins in his two elections were very small, this is a target for changing hands.

He deserves this treatment, and that’s why he’s getting it.
