Arizona Dems Boot Bivens – Power Shifts To Pima County

While attention was on the contested race for State Party Chairman at the Republican State Convention, little attention was paid to the uncontested race for State Party Chairman at the Democrat State Convention.  The Arizona Guardian is reporting on the decision by former Pima County Chairman Paul Eckerstrom, a mere two hours before the vote, to challenge Don Bivens for his chairmanship.  The result?  A doubled-digit thumping, an overthrown Democrat leadership, and the Democrat Party’s disarray is now statewide.  And if Republicans want even more good news, Eckerstrom is being quoted as saying that Arizona financial crisis is all the fault of Republicans and twenty years of tax cuts.  Good news Republicans:  Napolitano is gone, Arizona Democrats are in crisis mode, and they are about to campaign on a message of higher taxes for Arizona.  Times are good!
