I’ve been told not to read too much into the fact that Ed Pastor was not among the Bill Richardson supporters who are now signed on with Barack Obama. Apparently, he is out of the country and could not be contacted. One politico I talked to told me that he thinks the others who didn’t […]
The Barack Obama campaign has announced the names of the former Bill Richardson Arizona steering committee members that have endorsed Obama. They are Rep. Chad Campbell, US Rep. Sam Coppersmith, Rep. Mark DeSimone, Rep. David Lujan, Rep. Tom Prezelski, Rep. Kyrsten Sinema, Rep. Jackie Thrasher and Rep. Theresa Ulmer.
Whenever I write about endorsements, someone posts […]
Last week, Bill Richardson came to Phoenix for some small events. At the time, it was announced that Ed Pastor would be Richardson’s honorary campaign chairman in Arizona.
With Pastor would probably come a whole raft of elected officials in the Phoenix area. I’m wondering if this also means that the “Eckstrom machine” will sign on too. Dan […]
The Hill last week announced that John Edwards has made public a list of twelve house members who have endorsed him. On that list: Raúl Grijalva.
This may be thought of as “letting the cat out of the bag,” but the bag was a clear plastic one. Grijalva was courted heavilly by Edwards back in 2002 […]
I never follow Phoenix city council races, but a corresponent up there in the Valley of the Yakes sent me some information on a certain Michael Nowakowski who is running up there. I don’t know much about him, but one thing is obvious:
He’s a Polish-Mexican like me.
For once, I can engage in genuine ethnic solidarity!
Nowakowski […]
I finally recieved a mailer from Randy Camacho. I thought it was a bit unusual since it contained what was essentially a very wordy palm card, rather than a letter, detailing his 30/15/8 plan. I suppose that the card contained the same information that would be in a “Dear Democratic Friend” letter anyway. It just […]
A quick visit to Randy Camacho’s website and you may notice some changes to his endorsement list.
One thing is that both Raúl Grijalva and Ed Pastor have disappeared from the list. Both had been touted early on as endorsers of Camacho, especially when it looked like the field would be open. Both of them have […]
Interesting bit in Roll Call yesterday. Should John McCain win the presidency, or even if he resigns his seat upon nomination, Governor Janet Napolitano would appoint a successor. Unlike in some states, any appointee has to be of the same party as the person they are replacing. This means that Napolitano would have to find […]
Both Raúl Grijalva and Ed Pastor are now part of the Democratic Party’s whip organization in the house. Pastor is a deputy whip, and Grijalva is a senior whip. I have no idea if either one of these titles comes with a badge.
Pastor is close to newly elected Democratic whip James Clyburn. Clyburn has also […]
As much fun as I’ve had poking at the Republicans, there is a race for Party Chair on our side too.
The last two years have seen three, yes three, State Democratic Party Chairs. Jim Pederson resigned to run for US Senate, his replacement Harry Mitchell resigned to run for US House. Mitchell was replaced with […]
The liberals are on the run! They know that the vast majority of Arizonans, despite mounds of evidence to the contrary (all polls that show people don’t share my views are obviously deeply flawed), don’t agree with their radical leftist vision for Arizona!
The DCCC is spending not one dime on the races of Raúl Grijalva […]
I haven’t been so good about checking the lefty blogs this week. I fell out of the habit of checking Daily Kos. With this available to me, what is the incentive to post a diary on there? Well, I suppose because more people will read it.
There are some folks on there who are rather doctrinaire. […]
