Zogby Poll Results are Really Accurate, Unless They Aren’t

Word is out that Zogby will be releasing numbers that show Jim Pederson within five points of Jon Kyl.
The trouble is, this is the same methodology that showed former Department of Administration party planner Don Goldwater nearly beating Governor Janet Napolitano a few months ago.
I’ll see if the Republican bloggers that got so excited about [...]

Ed Ableser Swearing In

Arizona’s newest senator, Ed Ableser, was sworn in today. For those that have been following this story, Ableser was picked for the seat over Meg Burton Cahill, the Democratic candidate for that seat. Ableser is a candidate for the House seat that Cahill is abandoning to run for the Senate.
Come on, it really isn’t [...]

My, That Was Quick

Check out this entry in Wikipedia. Is there a word for your name quickly becoming part of the lexicon too?

Now That Y’all Have Found Your Voice, Could We All Cool the Rhetoric?

I heard an interview on NPR today, it was kinda hectic so I can’t remember the program or even who particularly said it. But it was something that I have started to hear on the right, along with the new mugwumps in the press that want everyone to get along. Golly, could people on both [...]

Senator Ed Ableser

The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors has chosen Ed Ableser to be the new Senator in Tempe’s District 17.
Wactivist reports:
Ableser is NOT going to run for the Senate seat he is keeping warm for Meg Burton-Cahill. He absolutely is running for the House again.
Hmm…sounds strangely like something I heard too…
I like Ableser, but I wonder [...]

Because Some of You Still Think He’s One of Us

Senator John Sidney McCain III, Straight Talking, Bipartisan, Moderate and friend to “liberal” members of the media everywhere:
“Neither party should be defined by pandering to the outer reaches of American politics and the agents of intolerance, whether they be Louis Farrakhan or Al Sharpton on the left, or Pat Robertson or Jerry Falwell on [...]

Chávez March This Weekend

This is from the Arizona César Chávez Coalition. This weekend’s march should be HUGE given what went on this last weekend. Congressman Raúl Grijalva will be there. This is in Spanish and English, but no Polish? I don’t feel the love of solidarność.
Dear Sisters and Brothers:
In the following weeks, the U.S. Senate will be debating [...]

I Relent

One of my correspondents noted that I have given a link to Bill Montgomery’s campaign website, but not to Terry Goddard’s campaign website. I was giving a link to his official site though, which, of course Montgomery doesn’t have. I don’t anticipate haing to add one anytime soon either.
I have added both Goddard links [...]

Don’t Forget Poland

Former Polish President, labor leader and Nobel laureate Lech Wałęsa spoke at Regis University, a Jesuit liberal arts college in Colorado. I still consider Wałęsa a hero despite some of his statements in office near the end of his term. He issued a warning that our nation is now being resented around the world, even [...]

Wow, A Republican Group Endorsed Kyl. Golly, I Guess We Should Just Quit Now.

Former Rep. Greg Patterson, the “Espresso Pundit,” has an ongoing thesis that the Hispanic community is about to, en masse, become a bullet-proof Republican consituency. For example, one of the pieces of proof he offered was that an employee at Stan Barnes’s firm was Hispanic. The first thing I thought of when I saw that [...]
