One-time Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld contributed to his campaign and former President George H.W. Bush and his wife Barbara hosted a fundraiser. His missteps were reminiscent of the blunders by his father during his term as vice president, when he once famously misspelled potato at an event in a New Jersey classroom. The younger Quayle's candidacy irritated many Arizona politicians who had waited for years to see eight-term GOP Rep. John Shadegg retire, as he had announced in 2008 before being convinced by backers to run for one more term. Quayle beat his closest challenger by about 5 percentage points. He will take on Democrat Jon Hulburd, a Phoenix lawyer and businessman. Many believe the general election is a likely win for Republicans.
