After seven weeks of debate and horse trading, the legislature has transmitted its first bill to the governor. The bill was Kyrsten Sinema’s regarding divestment in Sudan.
Some of you may be asking, what about that budget? There are two bills that have been passed but are being held and not yet transmitted to the governor. […]
Hillary Clinton and her supporters have been touting Barack Obama as her second. This makes some snicker given that Obama is ahead of her right now so the vice presidency isn’t exactly hers to give.
I’m thinking that it would be really bold for Mike Gravel to offer them both cabinet slots if they drop out […]
I caught a snippet from John McCain’s speech to the Center for National Policy, a socially conservative think tank. He is still trying to reassure social conservatives that he is one of them. One of the things he brought up was that he led an effort to amend the Arizona Constitution to ban gay marriage.
If […]
I usually don’t write about the doings of basketball players, mostly because this is a political blog and I’m not all that keen on the NBA. But here was an interesting tidbit I ran across this morning: former Phoenix Suns star Kevin Johnson has announced he is running for mayor of Sacramento.
The thing that strikes […]
Steve Emerine is a frequent reader of this here blog, and he also sends me copies of his columns for Inside Tucson Business. In a column printed on Friday, he went off on local leaders who he thinks are ignoring the economic downturn. Some of it (like his attack on Tim Bee for focusing on […]
So, first Barack Obama uses “Yes We Can!” as a cheer at rallies. Tonight, Hillary Clinton’s chant was “Yes We Will!”
I suppose this is some way to convey her experience or something.
Oddly enough, I was at a gathering of Young Democrats when Clinton’s speech was broadcast. They had the closed captioning on. The chant ended […]
I hope that, at the very least, the term “Texas Two Step” will be excised from our political commentary for a while.
Just as I thought I’d have nothing but the presidential race to write about, our friends at the State Republican Party have decided to help me out by sending out a poorly thought out press release attacking Gabrielle Giffords on, of all issues, domestic violence.
It doesn’t start out as an attack. If you were just […]
So, let’s say the commissioner of baseball pitches a game, thinks he’s about to strike out the batter, only to discover that the foul the batter hit that should have been his third strike doesn’t count? I think we’d all say, dude, that has been a rule since the 1890’s, you ought to know the […]
I saw a rally on the teevee today where Bill Clinton was speaking. Standing behind him, and presumably also speaking at the rally, was Dolores Huerta.
So, did Bill ask Jonathan Paton if that was okay?
A spot of good news for Hillary Clinton: in the last couple of days she closed the gap with Barack Obama in Rhode Island and is now ahead of him in at least one poll.
My question is this: if Rhode Island is Clinton’s only victory on Tuesday (a possibility), how does Mark Penn spin this as the […]
