Further fallout from the shooting. You'd expect some politicians to turn tail and run in fear for their lives, and that is exactly what is happening. It's just coming from an unexpected place. The Arizona Republican Party.
An official in the state Republican party has resigned out of what he has claimed, "fear for his safety."

Miller, a 43-year-old Ahwatukee Foothills resident and former campaign worker for U.S. Sen. John McCain, was re-elected to a second one-year term last month.
He said constant verbal attacks after that election and Internet blog posts by some local members with Tea Party ties made him worry about his family's safety.
Three others followed suit. It's pretty disturbing.

"Miller, the first and only African-American to hold the party's precinct chairmanship, said he had been called "McCain's boy," and that, during a speech, a member of the audience made the symbol of a gun with his hand and pointed it at him. "I wasn't going to resign but decided to quit after what happened Saturday," Miller said. "I love the Republican Party but I don't want to take a bullet for anyone.""
Arizona is a pretty crazy place right now.
