Did Dwight Read the Memo?
One reader noted that Dwight Leister’s website was changed over the last week or so such that the year is no longer listed as 2006 (although the domain name still says “2006″), reflecting the reality that he did not qualify as a candidate in this election.
Apparenly, Leister still thinks of himself as a candidate, as reflected by this comment in the online version of the Daily Star:
As the Democratic Candidate for congress in cd8 that is for securing the border and holding employers accountable what is anti-humane about that!
This was dated June 17th, three days after the deadline for Leister to file his signatures. Dude, I hate to break it to you, but you aren’t a candidate anymore. Sorry, maybe next time you should think about actually collecting some signatures.
The main article was about Charlie Johnson, the stealth candidate that Randy Graf supporters are running in the Democratic primary. Graf’s people should work on checking the rap sheets of their own staff before they try to muck up the Democratic race, really. Johnson, like Leister, doesn’t seem to want to do press interviews or be seen in public, but he did actually file signatures, so good job there, man.
Why all the secrecy? When Graf associate and convicted felon Russ Dove first approached the Democratic party about getting the voter file for Johnson, he refused to even name the candidate. Given that democracy is a public exercise, it was hard to understand why a candidate would not want his name out there. Maybe they think this is some sort of clever strategy; who knows?

Hey Tedski,
Check out the AZ Starnet article on min wage - Mr. Leister - at 3:30 am this morning (talk about fanatic or what!) logged in a comment about Raul Grijalva not supporting increasing the min wage (which is WRONG!) and swipes at him, cowardly, about his stance on the undocumented.
Wish Mr. L would just get himself more informed about where current (and actually, elected, unlike himself) officials stand.
That’s all.

Dude; maybe you had not read the requirements of the F.E.C. for being a Candidate for President, Senate and oh yes Congress wheather or not you are on the ballot you must file as a Candidate. Also the same rules apply for The Clerk of Congress! I have been a Candidate for Congress since April of 2004 and continue to speak out on the “Future of the Democratic Party. It is NOT about ME it IS about where the Democratic Party IS headed in the Future,and the Platform of open borders, not enforcing legal employement and blanket amnesty that ” I COULD NOT SWALLOW!” I can NOT stand in front of my constituents and LIE to them as every other Candidate is except Bill Johnson about how great The Democratic Party has been enforcing the “Rule Of Law” that got The United States in this mess in the first place!
Having been a Candidate for Pima County Sheriff in 1968 I am very aware of how the party treats anyone who looses a primary as was the case in 1968 as I exposed a corrupt Sheriff from my own party in Office for 15 years ,then his being indited on over 80 counts from a Pima County Grand Jury and the Board of Supervisors offering me the job. I turned it down and let Dupnik take it because my Funeral Homes were contracting with the County to provide Mourge space and ambulances from my ambulance company. I felt it was a conflict of interst,even though Dupnik said he wanted me to take the job and wished I had. I put my values,ethics and morals above “Politics” I challenge anyone in CD8 or yourself to do the same!
