A Concession, of Sorts

Jason Rose has spent an awful lot of his tweetspace this week defending a sushi place from the cruel totalitarians in the Phoenix transportation bureaucracy (what, this Stingray joint a client?). He’s had other interests though. This from Rose’s Twitter feed:
The chatter–Could ben quayle lose? Doubtful. But what would [Jon] hulburd win? Pelosi-play pass for [...]

I Didn’t Say It…He Did!

One of my more masochistic activities is keeping up with Republican operative Jason Rose’s Twitter feed. For the last few months, his followers have been treated to a case for Vernon Parker’s immediate sainthood, and a relentless bashing of now Attorney General nominee Tom Horne.
Rose was supporting Horne’s opponent, candidate for disbarment Andrew Thomas (heck [...]

He’s Talking About the Earth-2 Phil Gordon

I received a fundraising e-mail from Jim Waring entitled “Liberal Left Already Polling Against Me.”
That’s “liberal left,” as opposed to “conservative left,” “moderate left” or “third house on the left.”
Waring once again touted a recent poll showing that he had 50% support. The part that he left out (as he had before about this poll) [...]

And CD 3 Becomes More of a Zoo

We have a new candidate for the Republican nomination up in Congressional District 3: Ben Quayle.
Yep…he’s the son of that Quayle.
What is particularly unusual is how the announcement was made. Pater Quayle announced his son’s candidacy on Fox News. For those that want more of the “old” Dan Quayle, Quayle also asserted in the same [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Bob Lord: Prophet in Our Time

This from Bob Lord’s open letter to Democratic activists, published here last year when he decided not to run for party chair:
I’m virtually certain John Shadegg will not seek re-election in 2010. As he made clear during the 2008 campaign, his heart just isn’t in the job anymore. His decision to reverse his retirement announcement [...]

To Be Fair, It is Harder to Spell than J. D.

The stunning news from J. D. Hayworth’s Twitter feed yesterday:

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 [...]

Quick Take

With John Shadegg announcing his retirement, it means that fully a third of Arizona’s Republican House delegation is jumping ship. Could this indicate a coming Democratic wave?
