Numbers, numbers, numbers. When the districts started reported all of our hearts started to sink. It was crazy for all of us to think that what we had worked so hard for was for not. We all saw how the state was in a downward spiral and with the passing of SB1070 we could no believe that people still wanted her in office. Our what should have been a victory party soon turned into a something else completely different. I know when I started to see all the districts turn red I felt lost. Throughout the whole election even when people told me that he didn’t have a chance, I knew he could do it because of his background and his vision the people of Arizona would vote for him. Especially after the debate when Brewer made a foul out of her self I thought for sure people would see her true colors.
But when the news called it for Brewer even before all the districts had reported we were devastated. The anger within the staff spread like a wildfire. We could not believe that they would do that so early. Soon after Terry spoke with his family then his staff and said that he was going to concede. That announcement tore me apart. Something that I literally bleed for was over. It didn’t seem real but it was happening right in front of me. I was crushed and so was the rest of the staff, there was not a dry eye between us. It was almost as if someone who we loved had died unexpectedly.
