After a recount in which she picked up 6 votes, Martha McSally has defeated Ron Barber in the race for the Arizona 2nd District Congressional seat. A pro-Second-Amendment Republican now represents the district formerly represented by Gabby Giffords. The Republicans have now picked up 13 seats in the House this year.
Reblogged this on A Conservative Christian Man.
Rep-Elect/Retird Colonel McSally is also a former A-10 Thunderbolt pilot, the first woman to fly in combat, the first woman to command a fighter squadron, the de facto victor in McSally v. Rumsfeld, my homegirl, and an all around badass.
Arizona’s 2nd, ya done good.
I love me some A-10 pilots. Trained a bunch of them at England AFB back in the day on dropping laser guided bombs. (Pro-tip – When you are the one holding the laser, do NOT have the plane dropping the laser homing bomb fly directly at you). The men and woman flying to life saving CAS missions will never buy a beer if I’m around.
Arizona? YOU are Chris Heather Earl Causey!!!!!
Yes, and never ask for a fire mission from artillery that places you along the gun/target azimuth.
We didn’t get laser-guided bombs for CAS back in my day, but we did get napalm. And, yes, it is the smell of victory.
Oh come now…Danger Close is FUN!

Keep Calm and Carry
Hey, the Republicans won a recount . . .
The guy that was supposed to “find” a box of uncounted ballots, must have overslept.
In the last analysis, the winner of a Congressional race is the candidate the House of Representatives votes to seat. Had the Democrats held the House of Representatives, we’d be counting ballots until the first count in which the Democrat was ahead [This actually happened once in Indiana.]
Welcome to the party, ma’am.
