News from El Tercero
On Monday, Independent Annie Loyd announced that she is not going to run for congress after all. Her press release didn’t mention the name of Democratic candidate Bob Lord, but this is good news for him. I doubt that Lloyd was going to get a pile of votes, but I’m sure that Lord is helped by anything that keeps him as the only alternative to John Shadegg.
It seems that every day we have been treated to news of yet another member of John McCain’s campaign high command being a lobbyist for some sleazy or repressive foreign government. In all of that, I missed this little bit about one of Shadegg’s backers that our man at Random Musings found. A Republican being backed by lobbyists for polluters is one thing, but a Republican being backed by a lobbyist for polluters that have been dumping TCE on his own constituents? Now, that’s special.
There has been so little good news for Shadegg’s campaign (the loss of an otherwise safe Republican seat in Mississippi this week has got to be keeping him up at night), I almost feel sorry for the guy.
Almost.

Wait, so let me get this straight.
Shadegg now directly is connected to the TCE water contamination scare in Paradise Valley, which is in his own district?!?
Didn’t Harry Mitchell try to do something about the TCE crisis? Where was Shadegg on that? Does he even care about his own constituents anymore?
Geez this guy is a horrible representative. And to think I once voted for him. Not anymore.
Good thing Bob Lord is in the race. I don’t know what I would do if I had to deal with Shadegg for another two years.

Shadegg is an excellent Republican. Live on a hill and dump the “honey-pot” downhill.

Annie Lloyd may not have received a pile of votes - but I think you’d have been surprised by Annie LOYD’s votes.
Get the names right, it’s 101 on the road to credibility.

Yeah, you are right, I’m just not credible.
