1st District (0.00 / 0)

What is the 1st district like? Is this solid Republican turf or the Dems have a shot at it in '08?

Dems have a good shot at winning in this district (0.00 / 0)

Dems have a registration edge in CD1 and should be able to win here.  The question is how they lost this seat to Renzi in the first place.  One reason was active use of smear campaigns against Renzi's opponents.

Meet Renzi's replacement--Howard Shanker! (0.00 / 0)

Wow!  This guy is not only a great progressive, but he's ideal for this district. 
And the majority of the district seems to already be for him.  Renzi used to be just dripping with out of state money and support.  But Howard has already surpassed him!
The people have been ready for an honest non-Republican candidate for years.

Mr. Shanker has also received the backing of the biggest voting block up here, the Navajo Nation.  As an attorney he's been a champion for Native American rights, the environment, veterans and a balanced growth and business perspective.
And, he has the right plan for Iraq.

Arizona's going to have another good progressive Democrat in Congress.

and I'll do everything I can to actively support him!
