Politics - in Arizona
I guess this shows that the political ID of a state can changed abruptly under the right circumstances...
Molly Ball recently reported at Politico.com:
"Republicans won all eight 2010 statewide contests. Seven of them were not close. GOP gains in both houses of the state Legislature gave the party a two-thirds majority of both chambers. The new leader of the state Senate, Russell Pearce, is a firebrand conservative who has declared it a 'Tea Party Senate.'
'We're a one-pizza caucus,' Democratic state Sen.-elect Kyrsten Sinema said ruefully of her party's nine-member contingent in the 30-seat upper chamber. 'So the meetings are cheap.'"
