Bob Lord’s vassals are touting his haul of $220,000 in his latest finance report, which out paces John Shadegg’s comparatively meager $150,000.
I guess that “Well, wait, I’m running after all” routine put a damper on Shadegg’s fundraising.
So much for that “incumbent advantage,” eh?
Am I smelling an upset here? Or is that just my new cologne?
The other day, I wrote a post where I said that despite John McCain’s personal popularity, local Republicans still seem to be in trouble. At least one poster questioned my sanity when I said that Bob Lord seems to have a chance against John Shadegg, despite the overwhelming Republican registration in the district. He even accused […]
It’s true!
Bob Lord today announced that Phoenix mayor and Democrat of convienience Phil Gordon has endorsed him.
I’m flabergasted.
I’m hearing various theories about John McCain’s coattails here in Arizona. I’m not buying that he’ll have much of them. Even Barry Goldwater’s candidacy didn’t produce much in the way of coattails here (even though it did in the South). His friend Richard Kleindienst lost to Democrat Sam Goddard for Governor at the same time […]
So, John Shadegg made it official…he’s running for re-election after all. This offers us Arizonenses a chance to further enjoy the fruits of the legislative brilliance of Pamela Gorman and Jim Waring.
The talk among political chaterers is that Shadegg’s resignation stunt was done to get himself a position in leadership. So much for “I need to […]
Jim Waring and Pamela Gorman put their anouncements on hold yesterday due to the possibility that John Shadegg might run anyway.
Shadegg, of course, was praised in a letter from 130 of his colleagues who wanted him reconsider his decision not to run. I wonder if decisiveness was one of the traits they liked.
Interesting (for me […]
This could ruin everyone’s plans.
A letter has been sent to John Shadegg signed by Mike Pence (who you may remember was the guy that found downtown Baghdad as safe as Indiana, at least when you have a well armed batallion with you) and 129 other Republican congressmen. They want him to stick around:
As your colleagues, […]
Pamela Gorman has thrown her hat (no loss, since near as I know, she never wears it) into the ever growing district 3 ring.
Well…no…she is, in the words of the press release, forming an “exploratory committee to consider a run for congress.” I don’t know if there are any legal differences between “forming an exploratory […]
Sen. Jim Waring will be “announcing his plans” at the capitol at 1 PM tomorrow. I’m pretty sure that he is not calling all of his supporters to a press conference to tell folks that he isn’t interested in running for congress.
Apparently, Phil Gordon has decided not to run for congress after all. This saves him the trouble of having to pretend to share the views of Democratic constituents.
I was thinking of a possible set of nominees…Bob Lord and Sean Noble…Lord v Noble. We can give the community theater rejects of the Renaissance Faire some extra work […]
