Pauley Perrette, who plays the unlikely criminalist Abby Scioto on the CBS drama NCIS: Navy Criminal Investigative Service, seemed to endorse Barack Obama on her blog last Friday:
I just absolutely could not like
this guy any more than I do.
Jeez…
Finally, a man I trust and respect.
Love, love, love.
Bruce Merrill’s KAET poll has been released, and it is up here.
As I reported earlier, Jim Pederson is within the margin of error, and Jon Kyl still hasn’t broken 50%.
Okay, the story I put up about Rick Renzi the other day that a bunch of you said I was wrong about? Well…I was wrong about one thing, it is not an indictment, but an “inquiry.”
Apparently, the AP has the story now. I couldn’t find where it has been posted, but Renzi has apparently hired […]
The talk among Democratic politicos today is that tonight’s Bruce Merrill poll will show that Jim Pederson is within the margin of error of Jon Kyl.
Actually, I heard that KUAT spent $10,000 on a poll, but when it showed Pederson ahead, they burried it. Would you believe, they spent an addtional $8,000 to build a […]
I love our Democratic elected officials that shun the party and endorse Republicans when it becomes convienient, but want to bathe in the reflected glow of a popular political celebrity when they come along.
One of the many R-Cubed correspondents reported to me that Leah Landrum-Taylor and Phil Gordon showed up to the Get-Out-The-Vote Rally that […]
Republicans all over the country are saying the phrase “Dennis who?” when it comes to Speaker Dennis Hastert. Candidates like Ron Lewis in Kentucky and Shelley Sekula Gibbs in Texas have said “no thanks” to a Hastert appearance in their, yes, Republican districts. Even Don Sherwood, who has been hounded by allegations that he beat […]
So, I’m trying to decide that line between “spin” and, uh, totally made up BS.
Take Katherine Harris, for example. So far, her campaign has made Stuart Starky’s odd suicide mission against John McCain look like it was put together by Mark Hanna. Her people have been spinning tales of sure victory, however. Her campaign released […]
This has already made an appearance on a couple of other blogs. I actually had this yesterday but, silly me, I wanted to confirm it first. This means I didn’t get to break the story.
Why must I insist on being ethical?
Here is the story that is going around. The US Attorney’s office has information that […]
How have I avoided writing about the Senate race? I somehow managed to not only miss last Wednesday’s debate between all three candidates, but I missed today’s KUAZ rebroadcast. If this keeps up, I may need to turn in my political junkie license.
A couple of things have been striking me. Jim Pederson has been running […]
Last week, Linda Lopez led a group of three members in a sort of coup d’etat on the Sunnyside School District board and removed District superintendent Raúl Bejarano and board president Eva Carrillo-Dong.
The board had to relent and reinstate Bejarano after public objection. The most silly part of the Bejarano move was that his contract […]
When I tried to debunk the rumor that the DCCC was pulling out of the CD 5 race, I was asked for more solid evidence. I can’t remember people asking for evidence from the people that started this rumor, but que sera sera.
This is a new ad that the DCCC is running against J. D. […]
I’m finding out a few more fascinating facts about J. D. Hayworth’s latest publicity fiasco.
Apparently, although Hayworth had been telling the press that he was planning to visit Scottsdale’s Temple Beth Israel, he had privately told some near him that he wasn’t planning on going. He had lined up his two surrogates, the ones that […]
Back on the sixth, Blog for Arizona threw in this little tidbit in a piece on a Zogby poll that later turned out to be a bit of an outlier:
If this trend holds up in multiple polls, this might be a tightening of the race, though representing mostly a drop-off from Gabby [Giffords] to undecideds, […]
Mayor Bob Walkup filed papers last week to run for a third term. It suprised me, but that may be because I have been paying attention to the other races and my Revs are in the MLS playoffs.
It suprised me because Walkup is now part of a minority on the council: he’s the only Republican […]
A chant from some of the Drake supporters last night:
Vote for the American name
So, what exactly are y’all saying there?
Funny thing, an early appearance of the name “Grijalva” in our little part of the Americas was way back in 1775, when a guy named Juan Pablo de Grijalva was part of the Juan Bautista de […]
A story in yesterday’s Star about the controversey in the Sunnyside School District over the botched removal of Raúl Bejarano as Superintendent and the coup d’etat against Eva Carillo-Dong as Board President illicited the following reasoned, rational, level headed example of the vox populi:
Now Kathy Dong (who is not an elected board member) is wrecking […]
The Tucson Citizen endorsed Raúl Grijalva today. The editors sum it up nicely in their opening sentence:
Pick almost any major national issue - illegal immigration, the war in Iraq, the No Child Left Behind Act - and Raúl Grijalva is ready to challenge the status quo.
Of course, the online version of the editorial is […]
I was going to try to not write anything this morning. But, darnit, that J. D. Hayworth, he just won’t stop!
Okay, here is the precis for those of you who have spent your last few weeks checking out bad commercials on YouTube. Hayworth was brought up for ctiticism for quoting from an anti-Semetic rant from […]
This blogger attended the CD 7 candidate forum. This blogger’s observations follow.
Raúl Grijalva did well. Yes, I am horribly biased. He did the job that is called for of an incumbent: he presented his positions and record. I don’t think he scored a “knockout” punch, but he really didn’t have to. Actually, I must also […]
Check out this article, in which Rick Santorum compares our soldiers to…um…hobbits.
So then, who’s Gollum?
