Another Observation About Last Night…

Several Republican protestors were across the street from the Temple of Music and Art. One was saying things in Spanish, which is ironic for a number of reasons.
Here was something I found a bit funny: a couple of them shouted things about Howard Dean’s infamous scream after the Iowa Caucus three years ago. [...]

Howard Dean Endorses…?

Howard Dean last night at a rally at the Temple of Music and Art:
And CD 8 will elect a Democratic congresswoman…I mean, congressperson…
Dean is predicting a primary win for Francine Schacter, definitely.

Paul Begala on the CD 5 Race

Paul Begala on Blitz Woofer’s Situation Room yesterday:
WOLF BLITZER: So do the Tom Tancredos, the [Jim] Sensenbrenners, do they lose as a result of Chris Cannon’s win?
PAUL BEGALA: Yes! If, (pause) I love it when Republicans fight, it’s the Neanderthals versus the Cro-Magnons, OK? And so what happened here is the slightly more moderate position, [...]

If a Saguaro Falls in the Desert…

I am having a great deal of trouble sleeping tonight, so don’t be suprised when you see the time stamp on this entry. Of course, no matter what time I post, I get a comment within about ten or fifteen minutes.

They Were Republicans, So What?

We had a Democratic candidate for congress way back in 1992 named Jim Toeves who ran a suicide mission race against Rep. Jim Kolbe. Toeves, in his younger years, was a mover in the national Young Republicans and was one of the army of young supporters that helped Barry Goldwater win the presidential nomination in [...]

Weiss Challenges Huffman

Patty Weiss took a bit of a break from accepting unissued debate challenges to take a shot at Republican Steve Huffman. With all the bricks flying among the Democrats, I was worried we didn’t have any left to throw at the Republicans.
We all think of Huffman as the “moderate” Republican candidate, but this also means [...]

The Quicker Picker Upper

So, Rush Limbaugh was caught with Viagra that he probably wasn’t supposed to have after a Carribean vacation.
So that leads me to ask why he needed Viagra.
Then it makes me think about things and generated images for me that have ruined me for a week.
Thanks.

Ron Drake Campaign Update

Former Avondale Mayor Ron Drake was spotted at McMahon’s Prime Steakhouse meeting with local Republican leaders to plan strategy for his congressional race against Raúl Grijalva. One of the people he met with was one-time-talked-about Republican CD 8 candidate Christine Olson.
One of the topics discussed was how to win over the Hispanic vote on the [...]

Weiss Goes Negative?

A poll was released last week that showed that Patty Weiss had a ten point lead over Gabrielle Giffords. So, if Patty is the front runner, why has she decided to go negative against one of her opponents. I mean, no need to, since she is so far ahead, right?
Weiss’s campaign is taking Giffords on [...]

Hellon a Handbasket

I guess Mike Hellon has totally given up on this “Moderate Republican” thing. I don’t know if his polling has shown that he can’t compete with Steve Huffman for the moderates, or if he thinks that there are still a few in the anti-immigrant crowd that haven’t heard of Randy Graf.
His latest round of ads [...]
