All eyes are on Arizona Governor Jan Brewer (R) as she decides to sign or veto Senate bill 1070. Her position on this bill could determine her re-election
“„The governor has been mum on whether she will sign the measure. Her advisers say she worries about the impact of this action, and she generally seeks counsel from her close circle of friends and advisers when faced with significant decisions. At day’s end, they say, she’s not afraid to make an unpopular choice in an important matter.
“„“She agonizes over these things,” said Doug Cole, Brewer’s campaign spokesman.
“„Brewer spokesman Paul Senseman said she would consider legalities, residents’ sentiment and the impacts on the state, law enforcement and businesses, among other things, in making her decision.
“„As of Monday, the Governor’s Office had received 1,356 calls, e-mails and faxes in favor of SB 1070 and 11,931 against the bill….
“„Somos Republicans, a grass-roots group working to register more Latino Republicans, sent an e-mail to Brewer on Monday, telling her that if she supports the bill, they will request that she “leave the Republican Party.”
