Senator Joe Arpaio? It has a nice ring to it, don’t you think? Following the news that Arizona Senator John Kyl is stepping down, a poll was conducted to find out who has the most support. Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio led with 21%, followed by Rep. Jeff Flake with 16.8%, and J.D. Hayworth with 16.6%.
