DCCC Pulls Out Too

There was a bit of gloating in the last post from Phx Kid about the DCCC pulling out of the CD 8 race, as if the D-Trip’s reasons were the same as those of the NRCC.
I was thinking of channelling the lame excuses from Randy Graf supporters on this one and making an implausible allegation [...]

The Mallard Speaks!

Ron Drake has finally spoken up! Coming off of his primary victory over Joe Sweeney and his bucket of wheat paste, he has taken to accusing Raúl Grijalva of insulting police, fire fighters and 9-11 victims. Oh, yeah, apparently he is against civilization too.
I thought we hadn’t heard much from Drake because he was [...]

RNCC Fallout

I’ve been mentioned over at Politico Mafioso now. I am such an important figure in Arizona politics that I’m worth mentioning.
Apparently, I’ve been demonizing that poor, innocent, unable-to-speak-up-for-himself, never-meant-any-harm-to-anyone whelp, Randy Graf.
The main thrust of the post is that the RNCC is being whimpy for not standing up for Graf. That has been the [...]

Montgomery’s Solution to Illegal Workers: Hire Them

Terry Goddard’s campaign has delivered a complaint to Todd Lang of the Clean Elections Commission alleging that Bill Montgomery’s campaign illegally spent $73,000 that were supposed to be spent for the primary on a television ad to be run afterward. It may seem nit-picky, but he did sign a Clean Elections contract, and such legal [...]

Is That a Thorn, or a Prick?

The Arizona Daily Star gave a thorn to the Democratic Party for revealing the link to Randy Graf on David Duke’s website. They have a point that any bozo can link to a website, and that doesn’t necessarily mean that any support is reciprocated.
But, take a look at David Duke’s website again. The only candidate [...]

Goddard Scores Victory Over Western Union

Terry Goddard scored a victory in court yesterday against Western Union, who attempted to block Goddard’s investigations into money transfers by coyotes.
Goddard has an ongoing operation to investigate both smuggling and the crimes that coyotes commit against the migrants that they smuggle. Because of the large ammounts of money that coyotes and the people [...]

¿El NRCC Dice “No Mas”?

According the word out here in Blogistan, the NRCC has pulled its ads in CD 8. I’ll try to do a bit more to run this one down. Apparently, all the ads have been cancelled except for the ones on KVOA because its too late to cancel those.
The only downside is that this [...]

Early Salvos in the CD 8 Race

The Arizona Daily Star ran a piece this morning on David Duke’s endorsement of Randy Graf and the fact that he featured a link to Graf on his website.
Of course, this led to protests by Republicans that just because Duke likes Graf doesn’t make Graf a racist. True ‘dat, but I’d like to know what [...]

Because It’s Never Too Early: Putting the First ‘08 Rumor to Rest

The Rumor Mill had it that Ted Downing was talking up a run against Supervisor Richard Elías in the next election. The rumor went that Downing was angry that Elías supported Paula Aboud against him for the State Senate.
Juicy enough rumor, ‘cept for one tiny problem. Downing lives in Supervisor District 3, which is represented [...]
