And She Could Have Been in Congress

Put this in the “Wow, really?” category. She may be joking, but given who this is and the tone of her tweets, I have my doubts. This is from former (and thank God for that) Senator Pamela Gorman: Serious and thoughtful solutions like that are what we lost when she got beaten in the primary [...]

Gosh, Makes You Proud of Our State’s Political Culture, Donnit?

Salon posted their list of “The 10 Most Terrifying Would Be Congressmen” and guess which is the only state to have two on the list? Yep, it’s us. Arizona’s own Jesse Kelly and Ben Quayle made the list.

Dang!

A Public Policy Polling poll commissioned by DailyKos shows Ben Quayle trailing Jon Hulburd by two points. The poll was commissioned by DailyKos, which would understandably lead a few of you to be skeptical. However, it seems to match up well with reports about Quayle doing poorly with independents and Republican women. The same poll [...]

And Back to the Avian Conflict in CD 3

If you want to know where Jon Hulburd thinks his votes are going to come from, you may want to check his last few tweets: Women in Arizona on average have lower earnings than men and are more likely to live in poverty. #genderequality In 2007, women in Arizona working full-time, year-round earned only 82% [...]

Mitt’s All Boys Club

This afternoon, Mitt Romney came to Paradise Valley to hold a lunchtime fundraiser for four of our Republican congressional candidates. The fundraiser was done under the auspices of The Grand Canyon State Leadership Fund, which, like all grass roots citizens organizations is headquartered in a mail drop in McLean, Virginia. I’d be interested in hearing [...]

And Even His Supporters…

The Republic endorsed Ben Quayle this morning. Please note my lack of surprise. The most revealing part of the endorsement: If this were a job interview, Democrat Jon Hulburd would have the large advantage. He rose to become a partner at Fennemore Craig, one of Phoenix’s top law firms. He left to start an import [...]

Burning the Village to Save It…And Getting Earned Media Out of It!

In one of the goofier pieces of political news this cycle, self-styled Phoenix political organizer Jarret Maupin has gone and endorsed Ben Quayle. Maupin’s reasons, as detailed in a piece in the Phoenix New Times, are that Democrat Jon Hulburd takes a conservative stand on a few issues, which makes him the impure Democrat. Whereas [...]

Ben Is as Good at Math as His Old Man Was at Spelling

Ben Quayle put out a campaign video called a “A Thousand Miles,” which he subsequently took down after it turned out that he was off on his figure on the national debt by $11 trillion. His handlers took it down (the figure was more likely their fault than Quayle’s, really) for fear that it would [...]

Quick Take

How long before Ben Quayle points out that he’s got as much public experience before running for congress as Jack Kennedy?

Stingray Sushi? Does Jason Rose Know?

The Arizona Democratic Party has released Ben Quayle’s daily schedule. As a public service to the R-Cubed community, we are including it after the jump. No word on when he posts on Dirty Scottsdale.
