Tucson Weekly endorsements

Posted by AzBlueMeanie:

The Tucson Weekly is out on newsstands today with its endorsements in races in Pima County. It is almost a clean sweep for Democrats, for two reasons: Democrats have superior quality candidates, and those poseurs using the Republican Party label are in reality radical right-wing extremists. This is not your father's GOP.
