I recieved a press release from District 5 Republican candidate Dr. Chris Salvino. His campaign was announcing that he has been appointed to the Trauma Advisory Board. Well, here’s to hoping that no out-of-state obligation comes up so we can enjoy his services for years into the future.
Readers will remember that Ben Beuhler-García ran an ad that mirrored an ad that Bill Richardson ran during his presidential run. It is helpful to remember that neither Beuhler-García nor Richardson won.
Harry Mitchell’s supporters got a bit of mileage out of poking fun at this ad by Eric Wnuck, the carpetbagger that hopes to get [...]
David Schweikert as quoted in The Yellow Sheet:
We may be struggling, but at the same time, we may get him.
“Struggling,” “May get him”? Anyone remember hearing from overconfident Republican mahouts that Harry Mitchell was a sure one termer?
An Ahwatukee resident named William Cheney was stunned to see that his name was on postcards supporting David Schweikert. The trouble is, he hasn’t decided who he is supporting. One could say that maybe it was from another William Cheney, ‘cept it had his address on it.
So, the candidate and his campaign apologized for their [...]
This from the Harry Mitchell campaign, italics mine:
TEMPE — Republican congressional candidate David Schweikert’s latest false and negative attack ad violates Federal Communications Commission disclaimer requirements and, as a result, his struggling campaign will be forced to pay a higher rate for broadcast advertising than other federal candidates.
“As county treasurer, David Schweikert mismanaged his office [...]
It’s cute that David Schweikert wants to go to Congress, but he doesn’t even understand the difference between ANWR and AMTRAK.
Harry Mitchell campaign spokesman Seth Scott, after a Schweikert press release characterized a vote to close debate on AMTRAK reauthorization as a vote against drilling in ANWR.
I couldn’t find the article archived online, but yesterday’s Republic featured a “Newsmaker Q & A” with Republican Party Chair Randy Pullen. The article was entitled “State GOP Chief: McCain nomination a plus for Ariz.” This is ironic given who got Pullen into office.
Anyway, what I found interesting was Pullen’s answer to a question about [...]
I got a report from one of our DC correspondents yesterday that Susan Bitter Smith was in Washington yesterday, lobbying for the Arizona – New Mexico Cable Association. You’d think she could cut down on the lobbying now that she is running for congress. Haven’t these Republicans learned anything from 2006 yet?
Well, she is one [...]
I’d suggest that at Harry Mitchell’s re-election party next year, they serve toast. Why? Because that is what every Republican watcher said the guy would be after he beat J. D. Hayworth last year. Mitchell would be a one-term wonder along with Jim McNulty and Karan English and would end up doing those American Express ads that [...]
Anyone notice that Harry Mitchell voted against the Democratic budget resolution? Here’s the release from his office:
WASHINGTON, D.C. – For the second time in six weeks, U.S. Rep. Harry Mitchell voted against the Democratic budget resolution, saying the latest plan also fails to assuage his concerns about increased government spending and tax cuts.
Despite Mitchell’s nay [...]
