We here at R Cubed, we’re like the Pinkertons, agents all over. One of my high ranking opperatives spotted the weekly anti-war/pro-war protest over at Speedway and Euclid. These have taken an electoral tone as of late, with the pro-war protestors carrying signs for Republican candidates.
There was a group of people holding Jon Kyl and [...]
In the Arizona Province of Blogistan, a few of us have formed a confederation of sorts and are using the ActBlue service to raise money for some of our candidates. You will see an easy way to contribute on the right hand column. Those of us participating are Wactivist, LoftyDonkey, AzNetroots, and Geo’s Precinct. Each [...]
Did anyone catch that endorsement of Harry Mitchell in this morning’s Republic?
They called him a “bully.” In the headline even.
Gawd, just how bad did J. D. Hayworth act during the interview?
I have been reading these endorsements for a long time, and I have never seen the behavior of a candidate commented on in an endorsement. [...]
Yesterday’s Republic featured a story on the Rick Renzi controversey that implied that the whole thing was a dirty trick from the Ellen Simon campaign. Never mind that this has been investigated for months, they asked Renzi and his lawyer, former Attorney General Grant Woods, and they assured the Republic that this is being done [...]
Sex-columnist and gay activist Dan Savage has suggested an ad for Harold Ford Jr. Check it out, it does contain some profanity though. Not the ad, but Savage’s accompanying comments.
I met Ford at an airport last year when I was coming back from MLS Cup. He was with Barack Obama. The funny thing is, Obama [...]
On the way out of tonight’s CD 8 debate at Flowing Wells high school, I spied an older Hispanic gentleman with a sign that said “Latinos for Graf.” Another man came up to him and said, “I see you are all by yourself there.”
A better summary of Hispanic sentiment might be from a piece of [...]
District 25 is the most perfect example of why our current 30-district scheme in the legislature is inadequate. It looked as though the Independent Redistricting Commission piled every Southern Arizona community they couldn’t figure out what to do with into one district. It includes most of Cochise County as well as Nogales in Santa Cruz [...]
New numbers from a KVOA/Arizona Daily Star Zimmerman poll that will be released tonight:
Gabrielle Giffords (D-Tucson) – 48.2%
Randy Graf (R-Green Valley) – 38.2%
Undecided – 10.5%
Jay Quick (I-Tucson) – 1.6%
Dave Nolan (L-Carpetbagger) – 1.5%
Graf has gained slightly since the last Zimmerman poll, but given the hammering that he has been delivering Giffords in radio and [...]
Letter in Today’s Citizen:
I cannot believe the Citizen has chosen Ted Prezelski over Bruce Murchison for state legislator.
Hasn’t Murchison shown good potential with his three education proposals?
His district and education, as a whole, are his passions.
What is Tucson becoming when we fail to elect the best and the brightest?
Jade Stokes
The funny thing is, the Citizen [...]
So, both the Washington Post and the Associated Press have stories out about the federal investigation of Rick Renzi’s land swap. This morning, a story about the deal appeared in the Arizona Republic. My question is, why does it seem the Republic is the last to know?
Last week, the Republic issued a fawning endorsement of [...]
