One may remember reading that the Mallard, who has been touting the fact that he wants to debate “the issues,” seemed to know nothing when asked by the Tucson Weekly about one of the most contentious ballot propositions this year, Proposition 107.
Terry Krukemyer, Mallard’s campaign manager, after researching the issue, finally gave a response to [...]
Rep. Russell Pearce called for mass deportations of illegal immigrants the other day. Well, that’s pretty much what we’d expect from Pearce. Bad, but Pearce is sort of like fellow Valley resident Mike Tyson. We watch every new outrage and it just doesn’t suprise us anymore.
The trouble here was that Pearce decided to use a [...]
Today is Nobel Laureate and former Polish President Lech Wałęsa’s birthday. This comes only a few days after the 30th anniversary of the founding of KOR (Komitet dla Obrony Robotników), a coalition of workers and intellectuals that laid the foundations for Solidarność.
The Arizona Daily Star reported this morning that Kathleen Dunbar’s lawsuit against several citizens and the Democratic Party has been dismissed. The lawsuit has been headed in this direction for months.
For those who don’t remember, Councilmember Dunbar sued several teachers and Democratic party activists for a mailer that went out. She also threatened to sue [...]
Jon Kyl, I have to admit, has run a couple of effective ads. One was the one with the various Sheriffs condemning Jim Pederson for endorsing the 1986 amnesty. It was too bad that it turned out that Pederson did no such thing, and that Kyl actually did.
By the way, where was Kyl’s [...]
I never get to write about the CD 1 race. It’s been too long.
Rick Renzi has been touting the endorsement of Albert Hale. This is a big deal, given that Hale is Democratic member of the State Senate, as well as a former congressional candidate and President of the Navajo Nation.
‘Cept…he didn’t endorse Renzi.
Here’s [...]
The Mallard is trumpeting an invitation to a debate with Raúl Grijalva. It’s too bad that the invitation was actually to a candidate forum and not a debate. Details!
The interesting thing about his press release was this little tidbit:
Ron Drake noted that he is looking forward to several debates with Grijalva in front of several [...]
I’ve been having a great deal of trouble saving my night time posts lately; I don’t know what is up with Blogger. Last night, for example, it acted like it did not save my post on the EMILY’s list poll, then it listed three seperate saves but only displayed one post. It showed [...]
Gawd, I gotta take issue with an article written by a friend of mine.
This morning, the Arizona Daily Star ran a piece critical of Jim Pederson’s claim that Jon Kyl voted to raise his pay.
The article notes that Kyl voted to raise his pay once, as a house member in 1989. But then states:
The [...]
EMILY’s List released a poll today showing Gabrielle Giffords at 54% and Randy Graf at 29%. No word on Jay Quick.
The polling memo also shows that Graf has a 42% unfavorable rating, and that Giffords seems to have closed the gap on name ID. She is now known by 78% of the district’s voters compared [...]
