    Yes, I think that. And I don't know if about 4 months to come forward is enough. But I know it cannot be 9 months, and obviously not 0 months.

    Looks like Hobbs is going to win the AZ Governor's race. Another election denier looks to go down. There are still outstanding votes but Lake has underperformed Trump margins consistently today and I think she's going to run out of ballots.

    So, then I assume you agree that there are exceptions and acceptable time frames in some cases.

    And, for the record, I don't agree with abortion as a means of birth control in consensual sex.

    The GOP needs to cleanse itself. Trump and his people need to be marginalized.

    Of course! And you don't need to assume, I have posted that many times.

    Your comment implying one would know that there was rape, incest, trafficking within 15 weeks could be read otherwise.

    I think it is a highly complex topic to which it is very hard to find a perfect solution. But I believe you can see that DeSantis' solution is much better than that in Louisiana, for instance. Not allowing any timeframe at all, not allowing exceptions for rape, incest - that's crazy.

    Being so "pro-abortion" that one just simply says up to the moment of birth, the mother can do whatever the hell she wants - that's also crazy to me.

    For the record (again), I thought Roe vs. Wade managed to strike a decent balance, and overturning it was a politically motivated mistake that will backfire.

    It's not looking good for Kari Lake. I picture John McCain laughing his head off
    OPINION: Kari Lake didn't want moderate Republican voters and it appears they're returning the favor. After Sunday's vote drop, she'd need a miracle to win.

    The window hasn't slammed shut on Kari Lake, but it's darned close.

    It's pray-for-a-miracle time for the candidate who slashed and burned her way through the 17-month campaign en route to this moment.

    Because barring that, this race is over.

    Lake didn’t need – or apparently want – moderate Republican voters or independents as she marched ever onward, onward, onward with her America First "movement".

    And she isn’t getting them.

    Consider this, from Saturday’s release of votes in Maricopa County:

    Rachel Mitchell, the Republican candidate for Maricopa County, gained 9,059 votes over her Democratic opponent. Lake gained only 3,001 over Hobbs.

    As red waves go, it was more like pinkish trickle – one that should set off alarms in “Karizona,” given that most of the ballots released on Saturday and Sunday came from Election Day early vote drop-offs in Republican strongholds in north Phoenix and the East Valley.

    Lake fared better in the Sunday evening vote drop, as more heavily Republican areas reported in. But with just 170,000 of the 2.5 million ballots left to count, the window is sliding south for the pride of the ultra-MAGA movement.

    Before Sunday's drop, Lake needed 56.5% of the remaining vote to catch up to Katie Hobbs, according to Paul Bentz, pollster for HighGround.

    On Sunday evening, she got 54.6%

    Now she needs 57.6% of the remaining 170,000 votes to catch Hobbs.

    On Tuesday, as she has throughout the race, Lake predicted she’d win in a landslide. In the days to follow, as she trailed in the vote, she made the rounds of conservative media to sow doubt about the results, even as she continued to assure her voters that her victory is "inevitable."

    "America & Arizona: We have the brightest & best attorneys in the Nation, right here on the ground in Arizona,” she tweeted on Friday. “Every ballot has eyes on it. GOP Ballots (Election Day) ballots start dropping tonight. Keep your Champagne cold, our votes are about to start.”

    Since then Hobbs has slightly widened her lead.

    And Lake has gone largely silent on social media.

    It's worth mentioning, that Republican Treasurer Kimberly Yee has more than 113,000 more votes that the Republican nominee for governor -- votes that would have allowed her to sleep well all week. As of Sunday evening, Hobbs leads by 26,011.

    But for Lake, the window is closing.

    Me? I’m wondering whether she’s thinking at all right now of the late John McCain, a man she once called an “icon” and more recently "a loser."

    A few days after her primary election win, she stood at at a CPAC summit in Dallas to celebrate her victory.

    We drove a stake through the heart of the McCain machine,” she proclaimed, to wild cheers of the ultra-MAGA crowd.

    On the Friday before the general election, she sneered at "the party of McCain" during a campaign event, adding, "Boy, Arizona has delivered some losers, haven't they?"

    “We don’t have any McCain Republicans in here, do we?” she asked.

    “Well, get the hell out!” Lake told them.

    Thus far, it appears they’ve done just that.

    I picture John McCain, somewhere in the heavens, laughing his head off.

    Very interesting. The idea of targeting McCain has always seemed really an odd idea.

    Yes DeSantis is better than Louisiana politics. Not a real resumé highlight, but okay.

    La trigger law ban nearly all abortion.

    DeSantis pledged to sign law banning nearly all abortion (after "fetal heartbeat").

    Not much of a difference.

    McCain was a good man and a good public servant. So of course trumpers dont like him.
