' AZ-Gov: Now this would be very interesting. In a paywalled report in the Arizona Capitol Times, former Surgeon General and 2012 Senate candidate Rich Carmona says he's not ruling out a run for governor in 2014. Carmona performed very impressively in his Senate race, losing by only three points to Republican Jeff Flake while Barack Obama got whooped by nine. The governor's mansion should be open in two years' time, assuming current Gov. Jan Brewer doesn't succeed in her half-baked plan to run for a third term in spite of term limits. (We'll see if she actually goes to court to test her theory.) Regardless of whom the GOP nominates, Carmona would probably be the strongest Democratic option, so you can bet the DGA is calling him weekly.
