Other places reported earlier today, but the John Munger’s campaign for governor just make it official that Fife Symington isn’t going to run for governor again after all and has endorsed Munger instead.
That dashes the hopes of those looking for history to repeat itself. And it gives Munger an early anchor to start chasing support of Arizona’s GOP establishment (Although the incumbent, Jan Brewer, might have something to say about that). Of course, other candidates such as Vernon Parker and Robert Graham already are casting themselves as outsiders who can bring fresh ideas to the governor’s office.
But in primary race where private fundraising will be more important than in 2006, any successful candidate will have to gather a strong line-up of Republican insiders.
