Jesse Kelly has been highlighting LD26 Senator Al Melvin's endorsement as a reason to vote for him. Sorry, but I miss the distinction between being an actual politician and just pandering with one's name.
I also have to say that the whole Melvin endorsement pretty much killed any vote that I would have had for Kelly. Melvin is a poster child for our current legislative debacle, and he seems to specialize in working against the best interests of his own community.
Paton has a better chance than anyone against Giffords. His AZ Senate voting record, however, will also be on my mind when I vote against him this year. Say what you will about Giffords, but she is really in touch with the business community here and has at least been working to improve our economy (solar projects, etc.)
