PHOENIX (AP) — "The head of the Arizona Republican Party faced a backlash Friday after sending a fundraising email that said Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Mark Kelly, who rose to prominence when his wife was shot in the head, will be stopped “dead in his tracks.”  MSN.com As I pointed out above, to stop dead in one's tracks has nothing to do with guns or shooting and yet the article ties the two together to give the impression that Kelly Ward wo...
