Susan Bitter Smith comes up short in Arizona
Some of the more enthusiastic readers of this blog will know that I have been giving a bit of coverage to the election in Arizona's fifth congressional district, and particularly to Susan Bitter Smith. (See here and here.)
Normally I don't pay attention to Arizona politics, but I have been making an exception because I am friends with Bitter Smith's niece, Angela.
Susan Bitter Smith's campaign for Congress came to a screeching halt last Tuesday when she lost the Republican primary to David Schweikert, reports KSAZ-TV (FOX 10) here.
Despite being endorsed by Sheriff Joe Arpaio, Bitter Smith couldn't pull it off. Schweikert faces incumbent Representative Harry Mitchell (D) who stands for re-election to Congress for the first time.
