the senate seat in contest seems in safe democratic hands as well.
so the challenge is to
1) beat steve pearce in the governor race
2) take his seat in district 2. he's won regularly by about 20% since the early century so i don't know we can, but worth a try. seat was democratic briefly in 2008 while pearce ran for senate (and failed). then pearce took it back in 2010 (by 10% margin only, his lowest showing). this is doable.
