On the eve of elections, candidates and committees send out “media advisories” to tell us where to find the candidates for victory speeches or tearful concessions. I got one from Matt Heinz’s campaign yesterday alerting reporters that the candidate would be found at “Matt Heinz’ House near TMC.” Wait, that’s not in LD 29, is [...]
First off, any of you guys and gals realize that next week both Jan Brewer and Ken Bennett will be out of the state? Normally I’d be giving a hearty “hip hip hooray” for la Cervecera being out of office, even if it’s temporarily. This time, however, the feeling is tempered by the fact that [...]

Martha McSally’s campaign released a poll this morning showing that they are only behind Ron Barber by five points. Of course, it also shows Barber at 50%…meaning even if these numbers are true, if the election were held today, McSally could get most of the remaining votes and still lose. (By the way, I hate [...]
Ron Barber and Matt Heinz appeared at a forum yesterday. It will be broadcast tonight on Arizona Illustrated at 6:30 as well as on KAUZ 89.1. Brady McCombs has a summary of one portion of the debate. Barber brought up Heinz’s vote on HB 2718. The jab came at the end of the debate, and [...]
There are a couple of things post-wise that I’ve kinda let slide in the past couple of weeks. I know that my detractors (yes, even the great bloggers have detractors) will likely ascribe the lack of a response to some of these issues as evidence of…heck, they’ll come up with something on their own. It [...]
Political junkies pore through campaign finance reports like baseball fans go through the Lahman Database. And, in much the same way, it can seem pathetic to outsiders. I poked around in Matt Heinz’s FEC report, and, um…it didn’t take very long. Heinz only raised $33,755 in the last quarter, which is only a shade more [...]
I heard a bit on the local NPR station that Ron Barber will be voting against the Obamacare repeal. I’m glad to hear he’s not running away from it. I still don’t get the over-caution from him. The district he’s running in now is even more Democratic than the one he skunked Jesse Kelly in. [...]
In case you are curious, Matt Heinz is still running in the CD 2 Democratic primary. He put out a statement today on Ron Barber’s vote on HR 1505, the bill that would suspend protections for public lands under the pretext of border enforcement. This from his press release. Put out, by the way, a [...]
Chief among the attacks from Ron Barber against Jesse Kelly were quotes from Kelly’s last campaign regarding Social Security and Medicare. Kelly claimed that the attacks were unfair, but refused to explain his alleged change of heart. Unfair or no (I say “no”), it was clear that Kelly wanted to campaign as the defender of [...]
