Our View: Giffords is the pick in CD8

Substance over style. That’s the essence of the Giffords-Kelly race. We have many acquaintances who have embraced Republican challenger Jesse Kelly’s heartfelt, though mostly slogan-focused, campaign.America’s problems, according to Kelly, can be solved in two ways — by less government and by giving corporations and the super-wealthy as many tax cuts and breaks as possible. And his demeanor suggests that if any of his constituents don’t fully agree with that premise, they are going to be shown the door.
