This was from the Yellow Sheet this morning. I gotta admit that I don’t know enough about these folks to read the tea leaves on this (is this just a move to set up for the campaign, for instance), so I leave that up to you, dear reader.
The governor’s office will announce within the next [...]
The last “major” Democrat running against Terry Goddard has officially announced he is dropping his bid for the nomination. Neil Giuliano made noise over the summer about running after switching to the Democratic party. With other “anti-Goddards” dropping out of the race, you’d think that Giuliano would have been able to marshall some support, but [...]
Fife Symington bowed out of the governor’s race to endorse John Munger…
…and Charlie Crist too.
Jim Nintzel reports at his blog that John Munger will be leaving Arizona Illustrated’s Political Faceoff, likely in pursuit of the Republican nomination for governor.
Munger’s candidacy perplexes me, or I should say, the lack of buzz about it does. Munger has already been travelling the state and making noises under the umbrella of his Imagine Arizona [...]
The folks over at Rasmussen have new poling data showing that Terry Goddard is ahead of some of his possible opponents in next year’s election. The Public Policy Polling data that came out was derided by a couple of Republican observers as some partisan firm that is just trying to boost the probable Democratic nominee. [...]
Someone turned me on to Republican operative Jason Rose’s Twitter feed. There are some allegations thrown Dana Kennedy’s way that are laughable (Joking about her raising money from Hugo Sanchez, accusing her of supporting “Autarky.” He may want to look that one up, it means “self-sufficiency.”) But, the real entertainment is the hyperbole exhibited on [...]
Some stuff I missed out on last week:
- The folks over at Gila Courier decided to pull a quote out of context from Gabrielle Giffords and play like she called people in her district “crazy.” Kenny Jacobs over at his a Pithy Diarist blog called them out on it. I suppose their mischaracterization of Giffords’s [...]
When I heard Jan Brewer refer to either Phoenix or the Capitol Complex as a “Hell Hole,” I immediately thought of posting something. But, in my delay, the Arizona Republic’s Mad Blogger, Monica Alonzo-Dunsmoor, did so first. Oh well.
Public Policy Polling has a new poll out that isn’t good news for Republicans thinking that they can hold the Governor’s office next year. Well, one bit of good news for them: Jan Brewer is nearly as popular with Barack Obama voters as she is with John McCain voters. Of course, when only 28% of [...]
A correspondent sent me a link to this post, which talks about the possibility of Fife Symington running for public office and makes reference to an odd incident where he may just have met the wife of the new Japanese Prime Minister.
Some of you may remember that Symington made noise in 2006 about a comeback. [...]
