If You Don’t Want Me to Give You Grief, Don’t Post About Your Campaign Problems
So, a corresponent sent me the following post on Craigslist:
Petition Circulators needed NOW! Reply to: job-153426042@craigslist.org
Date: 2006-04-21, 9:07PMyou must be registered to vote to apply. We need petition circulators for a U.S. Congressional candidate for the 7th District. Pay is per signature and job needs to be completed by 5/15. we only need 500 signatures so it will be quick cash for a motivated person! collect signatures from registered voters in Avondale, Tucson, Maricopa, Yuma, Parker. call to inquire at 623-670-2778

Let’s see the signature requirements for CD 7:
DEMOCRATIC: 641
REPUBLICAN: 338
LIBERTARIAN: 12
Um…hmm…so, he needs about 500…that must mean this is a Republican candidate, or a really ambitious Libertarian…probably not Joe Sweeney. Judging from Sweeney’s website, he probably doesn’t know how to post on Craigslist. Plus, he always seems to make the ballot on his own. (By the way, the last person to challenge his petitions was Jim Toeves way back in 1992. Suprise, his signatures were bad.)
That leaves one person, former Avondale Mayor and Wildcat of Convienience Ron Drake.
What Ron, you are only starting NOW? What has that legion of volunteers been doing for the last three months?
Sheesh.

Hey, it’s the Republican way of doing things. Ignore the problem until it reaches crisis level, then scramble.

Actually, a good example of doing it the Republican way happened today with the Munsil campaign. And he didn’t even have to cheat by setting up his campaign before he filed.
The Republican primary for Governor just ended and Janet is going to face a very serious, organized, and determined challenger.

No, ignore a problem until it affects their grip on power then scramble is the Republican way of doing things.

elizabeth you just outlined Janet’s approach to the border.

Actually since Janet has been patiently telling the State Lege to send her decent bills she can sign into law, I do not think SHE is the problem with the illegal (and responsiblity of the FEDERAL government) immigration problem.
Maybe you could ask JD, John Kyl and McCain, Kolbe, Flake, et al about why it is only THIS year they bothered to do anything about the issue? After all, that is one of the reasons we send them to the US Congress is it not?

phx kid, the primary is hardly over. AgH2O may not have the organization to obtain the $ and signatures yet (Munsil had years of exp to get a leg up on that), but he’s still far ahead of Lenny in the polls and his immigration positions resonate with a lot of GOP voters. Meanwhile, Lenny is vacillating on the issue. tsk tsk
elizabeth, pk can’t ask John Kyl why he didn’t do anything about the issue because he’s dead. He could ask his son Jon Kyl, though.

You might as well ask Kyl.
He was a do-nothing Senator for about ten years until he realized he might have a race this time, then he began sponsoring legislation.

AgH2O has been running since at least September of ’05 and still can’t get his $5 forms in. Any lead in the polls will not last long with no cash.
I don’t care who wins but you cannot ignore that Len got his money very quickly.
