My guess is that we could win with the right candidate, messaging and "real support" from the State and National Dems. The progressive re-shuffling here after years of Shaeeerifff Joe and the Repug Legi's open aggression toward the Latino Community has been galvanizing. That, and the Native American Communities are sick of being screwed over by the R's. Their votes in 2020 may have been what put us over the top.
Risky. Yes. But would it really be THAT much different with an R in the seat at this point?
Good question and thanks for asking!
FINAL EDIT SEVERAL HOURS LATER: I wrote this without having enough information. Several here have pointed out the errors in my statements. I don't want to delete anything since others here may gain from these exchanges. I certainly did. I also did not fully understand Sen Sinema's "Centrist Posturing". Now I do. As stated in my other replies, I will be more careful in the future.
