Mitchell to Announce Decision Sometime This Weekend
According to the Phoenix Business Journal and AZCentral.com (the same article was also in ASU's State Press today), State Sen. Harry Mitchell will announce his decision to run against J.D. Hayworth or not sometime today or this weekend.
There is a lot of support in the state party and around the district for Harry Mitchell. A Draft Harry website has even popped up in recent weeks. The Young Democrats at ASU have been very vocal in their efforts to get Sen. Mitchell to run.

Update: In the comments, homegrown democrat has a source that says Harry Mitchell filled today. AZCongressWatch is also reporting that Mitchell will announce his candidacy tomorrow.

I talked to Larry King today. He filed today too. He didn't know how Harry would decide, so this is quite a surprise for everyone.
Good question. I'd assume both their names would appear on the ballot, but King could just throw his support behind Mitchell. I can understand how difficult a decision this was for Harry, but I also feel that the decision should have been made sooner. Larry has been working pretty hard to get on the ballot and jumpstart his campaign.
