| Description | The 2012 cycle has seen a constant stream of special elections, but the contest to replace Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) will be unlike most others. That’s because this district is often referred to as “Gabby’s seat.”
While both parties view it as highly competitive, some Democrats say they believe a Giffords endorsement could not only tilt the primary in one Democrat’s direction but also play an outsized role in the general election.
“This Congressional seat is going to be Gabby Giffords’ forever, regardless of who sits in that seat,” Democratic consultant Mario Diaz said. “So the emotional anchor attached to this district is going to go to the Democrat who wins.” |
