La Cervecera Goes on the Attack

Just got an e-mail from Jan Brewer’s campaign in which she takes on Dean Martin. Martin has had some days of decent press lately. Since he’s the State Treasurer, he can couch his criticisms of the legislature and governor as part of his ministerial responsibilities. She can’t be too happy about the free ride he’s [...]

Oh Yeah, That…

Now that Vernon Parker ain’t running for Governor anymore (goVERNor…oh, I get it!) and doesn’t need to find creative and ethically dubious ways of skirting Clean Elections laws, is he going to take time out of his congressional race to raise money for his Save Our Jobs, Stop the Tax Hike committee? He did promise [...]

The Goofiest Thing in Munger’s Budget

A few people I have been talking to have been looking at the budget proposal that John Munger has put forward. There are many things in there to object to, and some that are just plain silly. For example, he believes that $600,000,000 can be generated over two years by taking the money raised by [...]

Parker Out of Governor’s Race?

Today’s new talk is that Vernon Parker, who is a hero to millions of Arizonans and all but elected Governor (it was on Jason Rose’s Twitter feed, so it is truth), will opt for a run at Congressional District 3.
Parker not only is joining a race in which he is a more credible candidate, but [...]

And We Already Have a List…

Currently in the Congressional District 3 race, there is only one filed candidate, Democratic businessman John Hulburd. With John Shadegg’s announcement late this morning, we already have speculation on who else may run.
Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon has been talking himself up as a candidate over the last few hours, but there has already been some [...]

Cat Exits Translucent Bag

To everyone’s complete surprise, Dean Martin has announced his run for governor. He kept his ambitions under wraps for so long that even the most perceptive political observers were left flabergasted.
Just a thought: Martin has been making reports of the state’s dire fiscal situation for months. I assume this is so we all know that [...]

La Cervecera to the Poor: We’d Solve this Budget Deficit if Y’all Weren’t Stealing Health Care!

In her speech yesterday, Jan Brewer actually used the words “waste and abuse.” If we ferret out that “waste and abuse,” we’ll surely save enough money to solve our budget crisis. When I hear these words (along with that third musketeer: “fraud”), it usually means you have a politician that either doesn’t want to tell [...]

But Peter Lawford: That Man Scares Me

John Munger, as quoted in the Yellow Sheet:
I’m not very concerned with Dean Martin.

Hoops

A couple of weeks back, Barbara Lawall made a finding that the numerous aspirants/explorers/not candidates were not in violation of the resign to run law. This not only got rid of a quintal of material for Greg Patterson to do his “those darned lawless Democrats” posts, but made the rest of us wonder what the [...]
