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 […]
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 […]
Check out this entry in Wikipedia. Is there a word for your name quickly becoming part of the lexicon too?
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
The District 17 Democratic Committee met to select their three nominees to replace Harry Mitchell. The three were picked with very little fanfare or constrenation, which should suprise anyone that has been reading the Democratic blogs lately.
Meg Burton Cahill: Current House member and candidate for the Senate seat that Harry was planning on retiring from […]
From the an article in the latest Tucson Weekly:
He discussed the issue with Democratic state Rep. Tom Prezelski at a Knockout Pills show, in what is likely a rare instance of a politician meeting up with a constituent at a punk-rock concert.
See, you just don’t get that sort of grass roots activity at […]
I am still on Wesley Clark’s various e-mail lists, and I got a notice a couple of weeks ago about Iraqi/Afghanistan Veterans of America PAC. The group is an outgrowth of Operation Truth, and its board includes Clark, Sen. Bob Kerrey and Paul Hackett.
I first heard of Operation Truth at the Democratic Convention, when […]
I’m hearing now that there is a group of three consultants that are lobbying for Cox Cable in an attempt to deregulate them, allowing them to do things such as get rid of public access channels. Two of the consultants are Larry Hecker and Dan Eckstrom. Both are Democrats but have always had a pro-business […]
Gabrielle Giffords sent out a press release that basically says, “Mr. Vice President, I know it is vital to the national security of our country that you entertain our region’s Thurston Howells with your famous quick wit, but could you take some time to come down to the border and, I dunno, take a good […]
Senator Harry Mitchell has resigned his seat so he can devote his full time to running against J. D. Hayworth.
And no one, no one told me that this was about to happen. You people, my humble and loyal readers, have failed me. I don’t know what I am going to do.
NB - Note that above […]
I wrote yesterday about C. J. Karamargin leaving the Arizona Daily Star. I neglected to mention another reporter that left, border beat reporter Michael Marizco. Marizco left the Star in December; he told me in an e-mail that he left to write a book (they couldn’t just give him a leave or sabatical […]
As reported earlier on this here blog, C. J. Karamargin is leaving the Arizona Daily Star and moving to the Tucson Citizen. He will not be covering politics for them, but will be doing “features.” Ironically, Karamargin started at the Citizen as a features writer, but left when there was an exodous from that paper […]
Former Mayor Tom Volgy announced his support for CD 8 Democratic Candidate Patty Weiss yesterday. In a statement released by Weiss’s campaign, he named her support for Tucson’s campaign financing system and willingness to use it as a national model as one of his chief reasons for his endorsement.
Volgy’s loss in the 2003 mayor’s race […]
It looks as though Arizona Daily Star political reporter C. J. Karamargin has left his position. No details on this yet. Film at eleven.
