In the years after his failed campaign against John McCain, Richard Kimball (who looked nothing like David Janssen) would often wax about how shallow campaigns had become. His complaint always got back to the one ad that he ran where he was on a ranch somewhere feeding a carrot to a horse. “What did feeding [...]

The KUAT/AZPM story on the District 1 race this morning said that there is no incumbent in the race due to redistricting. Well, not quite: there is no incumbent because after redistricting, Paul Gosar saw that he would have to actually talk to non-Tea Party voters and run in a general election and he couldn’t [...]

I can’t get to everything, folks. Here are some other things from the intertron worth checking out: – Salon published a great piece on the too-often forgotten Shirley Chisolm, who was the first black woman to run for president. This, as the article points out, makes Chisolm a trailblazer for both Barack Obama and Hillary [...]

San Carlos Apache Vice President John Bush, White Mountain Apache Chairman Ronnie Lupe along with local and Democratic Party leaders are scheduled to hold a press conference today where they are expected to blast Jonathan Paton for his stand on tribal sovereignty. What prompted this was his answer on a questionnaire put out by our [...]
All sorts of articles and links I have been meaning to comment on have come over the transom over the last few days. What better way to write a Friday morning post than to summarize…a précis, so to speak. First off, Hispanic Politico had a piece yesterday proclaiming “Tea Party Republican Tom Horne set to [...]
Way back in 1974, Walter Mondale was mentioned as a presidential candidate. He decided against it giving as his reason his desire not to spend his nights sleeping in Holiday Inns. Folks who don’t run are allowed to complain about what a pain in the nalgas running for office is, but people actually running? Nope: [...]
Well, two of our congressional candidates are getting a wee bit of blow back for their previous careers as shills…I mean hired guns…I mean necessary parts of our legislative process. Jeff Flake’s previous career as a lobbyist is a not well hidden, but seldom mentioned, part of his past. It was left off of his [...]
One of the interesting side bars from this week’s ouster of two members of the Rio Nuevo Board is that Jonathan Paton has still not been replaced on that body. Paton is currently running for congress in CD 1. How are things going in that race? Well, kind of sluggish. His first quarter fundraising was [...]
Jonathan Paton is a proud Tucsonan. The trouble is the congressional district he’s running in only includes the barest tip of his native Pima county. So, he’s had to change his stripes a bit. Here is the “cover” of his campaign’s Facebook page: Funny, those don’t look like the Rincons. We’ll see how long it [...]

A while back, the state AFL-CIO announced the endorsements of Raúl Grijalva, Ed Pastor and Gabrielle Giffords. Although the Giffords endorsement turned out to be moot, none of the names were surprising. They released another set of federal endorsements today. They endorsed Richard Carmona for the US Senate over Don Bivens. Yep, Carmona is seen [...]
