Question...was "Sheriff Joe" running this year? If so, did he win?

That sadistic SOB deserves to be given the biggest kick in the ass OUT of his office I can imagine.

1. no, County elections coincide with presidential.

he might retire. each midterm he usually comes out heavy for a bunch of candidates, this time around all he did was pro-204 stuff.

2. The bass turd didn't run and he'll win every race he runs.

He's inexplicably enormously popular here.

The local media generally fawns over him but we have two outlets that kick him at every opportunity--The New Times and Jana Bommersbach (a wonderful journalist, our own Molly Ivins) in Phoenix Magazine.

3. last time, we split the anti-Arpaio vote between two very good candidates

next time, we might knock him out, or he might just retire.

4. I was hoping one of them would drop out and endorse the other, both of

whom were immeasurably superior to Showman Joe.

God, there are no words to describe how I despise him!
