Kari Lake: The 'Rockin' Robin Deakin' of Arizona Politics?

There was a UK boxer named "Rockin' Robin" Deakin, known as "Britain's Worst Boxer" for losing 51 straight bouts. Arizona's Kari Lake, a Republican failed in her bid for governor and now aiming for the Senate, is giving Deakin a run for his money. Lake has lost lawsuit after lawsuit and appeal after appeal in her conspiracy-driven quest to overturn her 2022 election loss. Once again, a Court of Appeals panel affirmed a lower court's ruling, finding that Lake's attorneys failed to prove any misconduct by Maricopa County election officials. Lake's losing streak evokes famed losers like the Louisville Colonels (26 straight losses in 1889), the Chicago Cardinals (29 straight in the 1940s), and politician Harold Stassen, who lost nine bids for US President. Yet, Lake grifts off each loss, soliciting funds from MAGA zealots. In the spirit of Arizona's cartoon heritage, she's our own Wile E. Coyote.
