Cat Slowly Exits Transparent Bag
A certain Samuel Pearson Goddard III, also known by the alias “Terry,” has filed an exploratory run for governor. The web page for his explorations is up too.
Since everyone knew this would happen, it is my job to make this interesting by harping on some minor facts.
Goddard’s campaign chairwoman is former Arizona Cantaloupe Queens pitcher Rose Mofford. Mofford has known Goddard since his father was governor. I remember back in 1990, when Goddard for a time inched ahead of J. Fife Symington III in the endless counting of ballots, Mofford being caught up in the moment and announcing “This will be the smoothest transition in state history!” After an additional three months and a hastilly called run-off election, it didn’t seem to work out that way.
Mofford also served as one of the chairs for Eddie Basha’s campaign in 1994 when he ran against Goddard (and defeated him) for the Democratic nomination.
Fun but near-useless fact: Goddard, the Attorney General, picked a former Secretary of State as his chair, while Jan Brewer, a former Secretary of State, picked a former Attorney General as her chair. Park on a driveway…

You forget, Mofford was also a Governor.
The difference is that Brewer became Governor when Janet Napolitano moved up the ladder, and Mofford became Governor when Ed Meacham got booted off of it.

hehehe… I love the picture of “Goof-Ball-Goddard” what a geek freak. We need a real governor like John Munger who knows where the Bear Sh*ts in the woods.
You Liberals are (what’s the newest expression I found?) oh, Dumber than a Bag of Hammers…

Mofford is as old as a bag of hammers… what a circus!
If Goof-Ball-Goddard would obey the law he’d resign and follow the law … if he can’t obey election law, whatever will he do as governor?
Ever phone his department? You’ll go through a dozen phone trees with each one advertising his department in his own voice – talk about abusing his position.
He’s a sad pathetic joke. If he’s the best you’ve got, you have my sympathies. I may not have liked Nappy, but by G_d she know how to wield power like a Pro. Terry is a joke.

He’s no joke if you’re an internet predator, a con artist or a polygamist child molester from Colorado City. If you are any of those he’s your worst nightmare and the ‘bag of hammers’ is what he will bring down on your head.

Veritas-
Yep, Munger is your party’s best shot at getting elected. So, why is it that conservatives in your party are looking to an ethically challenged climber (Martin) and an unknown empty suit (Parker) rather than Munger? And we are the dumb ones?

Yeah, but you forget something there.
Maybe we Republicans don’t actually want to win next year.
I mean, look at how well it’s working for us this year, Obama has to clean up the mess he inherited and all us R’s have to do is sit back and throw spitwads and we get to rehabilitate our image.
I mean, let’s fact it– with the condition the state is in right now, if us on the right are smart, we will let Terry Goddard win and then forty-eight hours in we will begin with the “whole mess is his mess” drumbeat.
