"Sheriff Joe" Arpaio's days in office may be numbered

Good news for Arizona --and for America: "Sheriff Joe" Arpaio's days in office may be numbered, as he seems to be the latest politician to become a victim of his overweening hubris and arrogance:

Elise Foley reports that Arpaio is being challenged for sheriff by an independent and a Democrat, both of whom say he’s become an embarrassment to their county and Arizona in general.

When he first became sheriff, Arpaio pledged that he wouldn't run for re-election. "I'm not going to run for re-election, so I don't have to worry about being re-elected. I don't have to worry about politics."

Nineteen years later, at the age of 79, Arpaio is still in office, but his occupancy of the political spotlight has come at a cost.

Following the recent slate of scandals -- the birther investigation; a finding that the sheriff's office neglected 400 sex crimes; and a rebuke from the federal government for violating civil rights, among others -- more national groups are calling for him to step down.
