Knockout Stage

Okay, okay, I forgot about Bruce Babbitt. Hard to forget about the guy, since he was governor from when I was seven until well into my High School years. Fred DuVal will, no doubt, have a penance prepared for me that will involve a hairshirt and reruns of the 1988 Democratic primary debates.
And yes Adam, [...]

Lazy Posting: National Journal Liberal/Conservative Ratings

The National Journal has released their 2008 Vote Ratings. The results are really no surprise, but after the jump are the ratings for the Arizona delegation, broken up by “issue categories”. I’ll post the Senate ratings later.

It’s a Rescue…or a Bailout…Depends on Your District

Raúl Grijalva (D – Tucson) – Nay

Richardsonista Follow-up

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 [...]

Presidential Campaign Update

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 [...]

This Is Not a Toy

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 [...]

Papas con Kielbasa

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 Got Me A Mailer…Two Even!

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 [...]

Hrm.

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 [...]
