Graf: "Nothing From 2006 Applies to 2010"

We caught up with Republican Randy Graf, who lost to Democratic Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords in 2006, at Jesse Kelly's victory party this evening.

Graf says that Kelly "has a lot to look forward to," but doesn't expect the same type of party fractures that resulted when he won a contested primary in 2006.

"This is a whole different environment," Graf says. "The dynamics are night and day. The resistance we met won't be here this go-round. Nothing from 2006 applies to 2010. This is virgin territory."
