Glass Houses and So Forth

One of the dangers of oh-so-clever snark is when it can be thrown back at you. Paul Gosar is finding this out in his race against Ann Kirkpatrick.
Gosar’s new attack is “Where Is Ann Kirkpatrick?” He’s alleging, of course, that Kirkpatrick is MIA. Kirkpatrick’s people put out a press release this morning detailing public events [...]

Kirkpatrick Makes FRC Hit List

The Family Research Council has released a list of 16 incumbents that they have targeted for defeat next year. On that list is our own Ann Kirpatrick.
All the members on the list are Democrats, because the FRC is a non-partisan organization.

“We Are Doing Really Well, Trust Us On This One…”

Sydney Hay’s campaign is claiming that they have an internal poll showing that they are only three points behind Ann Kirkpatrick.
So, you ask, what is the sample size, margin of error and all of that? They don’t want to say. Money quote from PolitickerAZ:
[Hay Spokesman Roy] Tyler didn’t release any information about the polling’s methods [...]

The Reporter Doth Protest Too Much

Before we get started, yes Matt Benson, I have a telephone.
Over at the Arizona Rzeszpospolita’s Political Insider blog, he takes a shot at me and Wally Edge for our posts about Sydney Hay’s campaign finance numbers (here and here). He goes after us because we didn’t call Hay for her side of things. A fair [...]

A Roll In the Hay

“Hat Tip” (to use the official blogistan jargon) to Wally Edge (can I call him Wall-E for a good pop culture reference?) noticed something goofy about Sydney Hay’s finance reports.
Anyone remember back in April when Hay was claiming that she had raised an astounding $100,000 in one night? Edge (but not Bono) checked her newly [...]

A New Settlement in Blogistán Izquierda

I got a nice note from the purveyor of a new liberal blog, AZ Left. I’ve added it to the blogroll.
The boys at Red State Arizona have a piece on AZ Left where they say that it will make this here blog and Blog for Arizona look moderate. Possible with me, but Blog for Arizona? Heck, “Big [...]

You Read it Here First

When I was working at KAMP, we had a couple of hipper-than-thous who would always try to out do you on the latest bands. You’d come in with some CD you had bought and say, “Hey, I just found these guys, and they are great.” Sure enough, some jackass with a Descendants tee-shirt would come back [...]

Sydney Hay It Is!

What, an anouncement on Friday? Naw…Monday? Hey, it’s Tuesday…
The new word on the street (because, as Howard Devoto said, I am the street where you live) is that Ken Bennett will not run for congress. Heck, he already was a senator and a president, why would he want to settle for representative now?
The talk is [...]

Sounds Like a Fantastic Idea!

The announcement was supposed to be Friday, but folks were actually expecting it today. That’s right, Ken Bennett will be back in the race for congressional district 1. As we all know, CD 1 is the size of Pennsylvania.
The story goes that the mahouts have been talking to Bennett for a couple of weeks. When [...]

Wow, That Made It Easy

The Yellow Sheet reported that Kris Mayes has decided against running for congress. Does this mean that her time working for Janet Napolitano gets re-inserted in her resume?
This leaves the Republicans’ “top” candidate mining lobbyist and knuckle-dragger Sidney Hay, who has already promised to be as good as Rick Renzi. For those who don’t have a [...]
