Somehow, I missed this, but they caught it over at Box Turtle Bulletin. Joe Sweeney, such a constant candidate for congress that the word “perennial” doesn’t begin to describe the frequency and number of his campaigns, had an interview with the Tucson Citizen which was posted last monday.
Sweeney, no surprise, is against gay marriage. But, Sweeney being Sweeney, […]
This is from the website of Yuma resident and independent candidate for US House in District 7 Harley Meyer:
Some would consider me one of the smartest people in the world. Knowing this, I believe I have a moral obligation to help out.
I have my degrees from the U of Minnesota and a superior IQ. Having […]
I recieved a nice note from Gene Chewning:
Hola Señor Tedski,
Greetings, nice play on words with my name. I don’t believe that that have been done since I was a kid in school. Yes, I have filed with the FEC but not yet financially as this is my first quarter. I am honored to have made […]
A correspondent reported to me this morning that they saw an ad for Gene Chewning, who apparently wants to run for congress against Raúl Grijalva. Chewning, you may remember, was the candidate who came about 10,000 votes short of beating Phil Lopes in the 2006 election. This would be impressive except that only about 35,000 […]
Just a couple of thoughts…I’ll write more later when I’m a little more awake.
Anyone remember fifteen months ago or so? I think the prediction was that J. D. Hayworth was going to demoish Janet Napolitano and the Republicans were going to get a bullet-proof 2/3 majority in both houses so even if Napolitano won, she […]
We here at R Cubed, we’re like the Pinkertons, agents all over. One of my high ranking opperatives spotted the weekly anti-war/pro-war protest over at Speedway and Euclid. These have taken an electoral tone as of late, with the pro-war protestors carrying signs for Republican candidates.
There was a group of people holding Jon Kyl and […]
Back on the sixth, Blog for Arizona threw in this little tidbit in a piece on a Zogby poll that later turned out to be a bit of an outlier:
If this trend holds up in multiple polls, this might be a tightening of the race, though representing mostly a drop-off from Gabby [Giffords] to undecideds, […]
A chant from some of the Drake supporters last night:
Vote for the American name
So, what exactly are y’all saying there?
Funny thing, an early appearance of the name “Grijalva” in our little part of the Americas was way back in 1775, when a guy named Juan Pablo de Grijalva was part of the Juan Bautista de […]
The Tucson Citizen endorsed Raúl Grijalva today. The editors sum it up nicely in their opening sentence:
Pick almost any major national issue - illegal immigration, the war in Iraq, the No Child Left Behind Act - and Raúl Grijalva is ready to challenge the status quo.
Of course, the online version of the editorial is […]
This blogger attended the CD 7 candidate forum. This blogger’s observations follow.
Raúl Grijalva did well. Yes, I am horribly biased. He did the job that is called for of an incumbent: he presented his positions and record. I don’t think he scored a “knockout” punch, but he really didn’t have to. Actually, I must also […]
