I haven’t posted in a couple of days. No particular reason for this. Nothing nefarious going on, really. I got an e-mail from one guy who, I think, was trying to assign motives to my absence. At one point, I hope tongue in cheek, he wondered if I had taken a job with Fox News.
Well, […]
Candidate for State Democratic Party Chairman Don Bivens has spent the day meeting with local Democratic Party muckety mucks. I count this as a healthy sign. One weakness I saw with David Waid’s chairmanship was despite his administrative skills, he had an uneasy relationship with party activists.
The smart money says that Bivens is the prohibitive […]
I knew it wouldn’t take long, our friends on the other side have been pointing to the resignation of David Waid as some sort of sign that the Democratic Party is totally dysfunctional. Yep…the party is on the verge of imploding and going the way of the Anti-Masons in the 1830’s.
I guess they got tired […]
The Arizona Democratic Party has hired a new executive director: Maria Weeg. Weeg’s previous job was as executive director of the Idaho Democratic Party.
You can take a look at an article from New West announcing her departure from the Idaho Democrats, or this interview with her from the Boise Weekly. See, if that paper had […]
A bit of a followup to something I wrote about a couple of weeks ago. At this weekend’s DNC meeting, Young Democrats of America. The YDA, which officially has three at-large members on the DNC, has been demanding that state parties be directed to recognize goals for recruiting young delegates, just as they are directed […]
I expected that David Waid would win. Before the meeting, I would have said that a decisive win would have been 65% or so. Waid won with a ridiculous 86% of the vote. I don’t know if this means that there wasn’t as much enthusiasm from the new progressive wing about Randy Camacho as had […]
I need to run some errands, so I will give y’all more details later. Here are the folks that won yesterday:
Chair- David Waid (Maricopa)
First Vice Chair- Donna Branch-Gilby (Pima)

Vice Chairwomen- Sharon Covey (Cochise), Lois Pfau (Maricopa), Jo Kelleher (Coconino)
Vice Chairmen- Tony Gonzales (Coconino), Randy Camacho (Maricopa), Jeff Latas (Pima)
Seceretary- Judy […]
I didn’t get one, but apparently there is an e-mail sent by Randy Camacho denying the anti-gay rumors that are allegedly being spread by supporters of David Waid. I don’t know exactly what is going on among the Maricopa County activists, but the only reason I have heard about this rumor is because of the […]
A quick visit to Randy Camacho’s website and you may notice some changes to his endorsement list.
One thing is that both Raúl Grijalva and Ed Pastor have disappeared from the list. Both had been touted early on as endorsers of Camacho, especially when it looked like the field would be open. Both of them have […]
Saturday I, and I’m assuming other members of the State Committee, recieved my first communication from David Waid. It was a letter detailing his accomplishments as chair including an impressive fundraising effort (four times as much as the Republican Party) and an increase in vote by mail applications by 30%.
I was suprised to get a […]
