I live in Congressional District 5 in Arizona, which is currently represented by a lifelong liberal Democrat named Harry Mitchell.
As I observe the Republican primary, every single Republican candidate is running as a conservative and a Reagan Republican, no matter what his or her actual history or voting record.
Even Congressman Mitchell is showing signs of doing what he did in 2006, when he actually tried to present himself as more conservative on many issues than then-Congressman J.D. Hayworth.
If political conservatism is out of fashion, this is awfully strange behavior.
