Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik has never lost an election, but that was before his remarks assigning blame for the deadly Tucson, Ariz., shooting to political "vitriol" and calling Arizona "a mecca for prejudice and bigotry."[/B]

Now it's Sheriff Dupnik who finds himself on the public-opinion hot seat. A group opposed to illegal immigration has begun an effort to recall the sheriff in a special election. Meanwhile, a Pima County tea party group is planning on holding a "Dump Dupnik" rally next week outside his office.

All of this misses the point, IMO. Is he a good sheriff? His agency had several contacts with the shooter....were they handled properly?

I just hope Arizona doesn't do what we in California did in the Gray Davis recall. In the heat of the moment we elected an even bigger idiot.
