NRSC Sharpens Rhetoric As Pederson Eyes Challenging Kyl.

This article focuses on how anticipating that Arizona Democratic Party chairman Jim Pederson will soon jump into the race against Republican Senator Jon Kyl, the National Republican Senatorial Committee demonstrated that it has been sharpening its rhetorical attacks by suggesting Pederson is devoid of ideas. Pederson said before he commits himself to the race he wants to make sure he has the kind of message that he thinks would resonate statewide. In 2000, Democrats failed to field a candidate against Kyl, allowing him to sail to re-election with 79 percent of the vote against minor-party candidates.
