re: #109 wheat-dogghazi

Is she up for re-election anytime soon?

According to Wikipedia, Arizona law term limits a governor to two consecutive terms even if they got appointed to the job in the middle of someone else’s term. They can then run again after a four-year break. Jan Brewer became governor in 2009, then ran for re-election in 2010. She’s out of office next January and wouldn’t be able to run again until 2018.

That puts her in an interesting position. She could please her base and let the law pass, then let her successor deal with the fallout and then run again later as a conservative hero. Or she could veto the law, piss off the religious nuts, and just count the days until she returns to private life.
