After her horrendous performance the other night in her
debate with Democrat Terry Goddard, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer
is doing what she does best:

Running from tough questions ... you know, what most folks
call accountability:
Arizona voters won't be seeing any more debates between
the top gubernatorial contenders.
Incumbent Republican Jan Brewer said Thursday she has no
intention of participating in any more events with Democrat
Terry Goddard. She said the only reason she debated him on
Wednesday is she had to to qualify for more than $1.7
million in public funds for her campaign.
"I certainly will take my message in a different venue
out to the people of Arizona," she said.
Yes, we can imagine what that venue will be. After 20-plus
appearances on Fox News and none with any local TV
journalists, we're getting the idea. (When she adds later in
the piece that she will "be available for interviews," we're
sure she will ... with Greta Van Susteren and Sean Hannity.)
Anyway, Brewer said, she believes the debates help
Goddard more than they benefit her.
"Why would I want to give Terry a chance to redefine
himself?" she said.
Translation: why create another situation where I would just
be destroyed at my own hand?
Brewer conceded that her performance in Wednesday's
debate, and her refusal to answer a question from reporters
afterward, was not well-handled. That includes an opening
statement when she lost her train of thought and went
silent, and walking away after the event rather than
answering questions about her prior statements about
headless bodies in the desert.
Brewer blamed part of her post-debate activities on her
gaffe in her opening statement. The governor also said she
presumed reporters would want to talk to her about some of
the issues raised during the hour-long, televised debate.
"All you guys were doing and talking were beheadings,
beheadings, beheadings," the governor said. "That is
something that has stuck with you all for so long, and I
just felt we needed to move on."
Actually, Jan, the issue is that you have refused to retract
those remarks, even though (a) they have been proven utterly
false, and (b) they have helped kill the state's tourism
economy.

And the fact is, you just don't want to answer that
question. Because you can't without admitting you're a
crappy governor.
