It was announced today that the Congressional race in Arizona's 8th Congressional District will officially become - HooHaw! A mad house! With Kolbe out of the game the mad scramble will begin. On the Dem's side look for Gaby Giffords to toss her hat in the ring, along with Shacter and Latas. Republicans? Well, Randy Graff for sure...and maybe Toni Hellon will deep six her primary battle with Huffman and run for the big time.
Ah, we live in interesting times.

May that lib Toni Hellon lose to Graff, and may Graff destroy the Dems.
It's increasingly unlikely that Hellon will run for Kolbe's seat. That said you had best hope she loses to Huffman in the District 26 Republican primnary.
Eva Bacal and Tom Volgy are better candidates than Giffords - they have better voting records than she and aren't beholden to big money interests.
Dear Anon...
I'm puzzled by part of your post. Neither Bacal or Volgy have voting records.
Volgy almost pulled it off in '98, but he still lost. Bacal lost solidly.
Big money interests? Whether those are "good" big money interests or "bad" big money interests pretty much depends on whose ox gets gored and whose interests they are.
Bacall was not able to raise enough money to fully fund her campaign.
Volgy actually returned contributions, a high minded act but who knows if the extra bucks might not have won the 1000 votes he needed.
