Transplants are a problem in the general election, they aren't going to vote much in the primary.

The 'Active Early Voting List' system in AZ makes it pretty easy to vote while watching CNN without getting out of the Laz Z Boy.

In 2020 36.44% of registered voters turned out for the primary and 79.9% for the general election. Typically nonpresidential election years the primary loses about 3 percentage points.

Much of that is because new comers know when the second tuesday of november is, but don't know when the primary is or even care.

Another interesting tidbit is Az is still a republican state... 34.47%... independent 33.63%... democrat 31.09%... That's from the secretary of state website, Kattie Hobbs herself april 2022.

No Biden didn't win here.

From all seen so far, I would not favor Robson for more than one reason - but even with her heavy smear ads against Lake I am not going beat on her rep. Politics just rotten all over the place these days.

Some here are quick to say "gold digger" - but that may be dumb. Yes, the Robson outfit did a great job of becoming wealthy through land and property development - during a time when that has been BIG activity in AZ - opportunistic - and they were not the only ones. Who among us know her reason for marrying the guy much older - even a prosperous guy - and staying married, and birthing his kids, and raising them after he died. Am not saying she is saintly or anything else praiseworthy, but am not going to throw stones at her character because she may be a political Rino.

I do hope that Lake wins this one.

According to the emails that I get from the Lake Campaign (I ordered a hat and a bumper sticker, and at one time made a 25.00 donation), she was so far ahead in the polls all she was focused on was beating Hobbs. Then Robson started in with the negative ads, so she had to turn her focus on that. Robson is definitely out spending her about 9 to 1, thus the 2-3 emails I get a week asking for money. I will vote for which ever Republican that wins the primary in the general election. I'm pretty sure that Lake will take the primary, but I've been wrong before.

By all indications Kari Lake had a promising career ahead of her in broadcasting. She didn't like what was happening in that business and bailed out to try and make a difference. She saw the error of her ways in supporting the magic knee grow and switched sides.
We all complain about the media being the propaganda wing of the DNC. Here is someone who gave that up to run for governor of the state. Admittedly her presence in broadcasting gives her name recognition. That is important in politics. The fact that Pence and Douchy don't support her makes her even more credible. Not sure Trump's support puts her over the line but it doesn't hurt.

I hope you guys are right. I don't trust Lake to follow through but i hope she does. If i were still registered inAZ i would vote Robson this point. Lake has been quite invisible during the past 6 months

Dennis, what do you like in the proven performance of Robson that you don't find in Lake?

Have there been any numbers of attendance seen about the Lake-Trump and the Robson-Pence rallies? I've looked and haven't seen any.

Robson is a known quantity. Lake is an enigma. She was card carrying democrat and suddenly switched sides. Maybe she's the real deal but we have been burned before; think Souter and Roberts

300 attendees according to azcentral.

Yes

At the time of the article Trump's rally hadn't started yet.

Thanks. I finally found it and then an article that said there were 'thousands' at the Lake-Trump rally. I had searched this morning and found nada.

Interesting.

Dennis, she was married to Gene Taylor, any relation to the Taylor's on 39th way that lived next to my family?

Karrin married Robson in 2017, no big deal they were in the same real estate circles, she graduated ASU and went into real estate law. Local Mesa girl. Ducey almost had her finish out McCain's term when he died instead of McSally. Ducey appointed her to the board of regents in 2017 and again in 2020.

Ducey has been a terrible gov, I knew about him when he was ceo of coldstone creamery from a friend. I was hoping he would prove me wrong but turned out exactly like I figured. Robson has been under his wings at least 5 years.

No thank you...

I googled several articles on the Trump/Lake rally and the Pence/Robson rally. Apparently there were thousands at the Trump rally, even some people from out of state. Never saw an estimate for the Pence rally. One article made it very clear Robson is the darling of the Republican Party and Lake is not. My vote is for Lake in the primary.

I'm sure the libs and the Rinos would love to see Robson win the primary, as Hobbs would have a better chance of beating her. I read where Trump called out Rusty Bowers for being a Rino coward.

All I know is I can’t wait for the Primary to end! 6-8 flyers everyday and 5+ phone calls!!!

Getting old for sure
