A Concession, of Sorts

Jason Rose has spent an awful lot of his tweetspace this week defending a sushi place from the cruel totalitarians in the Phoenix transportation bureaucracy (what, this Stingray joint a client?). He’s had other interests though. This from Rose’s Twitter feed:
The chatter–Could ben quayle lose? Doubtful. But what would [Jon] hulburd win? Pelosi-play pass for [...]

La Cervecera Goes on the Attack

Just got an e-mail from Jan Brewer’s campaign in which she takes on Dean Martin. Martin has had some days of decent press lately. Since he’s the State Treasurer, he can couch his criticisms of the legislature and governor as part of his ministerial responsibilities. She can’t be too happy about the free ride he’s [...]

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 [...]

Cat Exits Translucent Bag

To everyone’s complete surprise, Dean Martin has announced his run for governor. He kept his ambitions under wraps for so long that even the most perceptive political observers were left flabergasted.
Just a thought: Martin has been making reports of the state’s dire fiscal situation for months. I assume this is so we all know that [...]

Us? Budget? Never Heard of It.

One of the little bits from La Cervecera’s State of the State Address that has gotten some folks talking was Jan Brewer’s non-introduction of State Treasurer Dean Martin and Attorney General Terry Goddard. It might not have been as remarked on except that the Governor made a point of looking at the two of them [...]

What Was Weak Last Week

My weekly round up of things that for one reason or another I just didn’t get to last week:

Hoops

A couple of weeks back, Barbara Lawall made a finding that the numerous aspirants/explorers/not candidates were not in violation of the resign to run law. This not only got rid of a quintal of material for Greg Patterson to do his “those darned lawless Democrats” posts, but made the rest of us wonder what the [...]

What Was Weak Last Week

Our legislature concluded their not-especially-special session on Saturday. They made $8 million in cuts in the Attorney General’s office but no cuts in either the Secretary of State’s office or the Treasurer’s office.
I know, I know. It just so happens that the Attorney General’s office is the only state constitutional office run by a Democrat. [...]

Overinterpreting

The big talk today is that Jan Brewer will announce she is running for re-election.
Or is that just “election”? Do they call it re-election when you never actually got elected to the office? You are all free to argue about this. The more pedantic the comment, the better, I always say.
I spoke to an R-Cubed [...]

What Was Weak Last Week

Some stuff I missed out on last week:
- The folks over at Gila Courier decided to pull a quote out of context from Gabrielle Giffords and play like she called people in her district “crazy.” Kenny Jacobs over at his a Pithy Diarist blog called them out on it. I suppose their mischaracterization of Giffords’s [...]
