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.

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?

Shadegg Announces Retirement…Again

John Shadegg announced that he is not running for re-election. I don’t want to get too excited about this, given the brevity of his previous “retirement.”
Shadegg’s previous attempt at retirement set off some short lived jockeying for his seat among a couple of legislators. I’m trying to imagine how much worse the leadership crisis on [...]

Shadegg Draws Opponent

Voters who are unhappy with John Shadegg will have another viable choice: businessman Jon Hulburd.
No word on whether his last name is an homage to FC Dallas fanatic and Winning Ugly panelist Sarah Wilson.
Hulburd’s supporters are promising a well funded campaign. One supporter told me that Hulburd is looking to raise more than the $1.8 [...]
