A group called Conservatives for Congress is running ads against both Gabrielle Giffords and Raúl Grijalva. The committee consists of local car dealer Steve Christy and other Republican contributors and activists. Because of their committee status, there is no filing with the FEC to disclose their contributors or disbursements.
Some of their ads are available on [...]
This is from Jesse Kelly’s latest press release, posted to his Facebook page. It’s not begging Gabrielle Giffords to stay out of his toilet (how’d she get there?), but classic nonetheless:
The stock market will start rising again when Jesse Kelly gets to Congress and fights for lower taxes and less government interference in the economy.
Jesse [...]
The other night when Pima County Democratic Chairman Jeff Rogers read the Republican Primary Results from Congressional District 8, it was like the dropping of the Time Square Ball. Everyone in that room knew it was going to happen, but they were excited anyway.
Jonathan Paton would have been a formidable candidate against Gabrielle Giffords. Both [...]
I got a press release from Jesse Kelly (who, along with the other Three Mesquiteers, is still running for congress). In it, Kelly calls Jonathan Paton’s call for Gabrielle Giffords to end earmarks a “stunt.”
Yep, Paton’s press releases have been a bit hyperbolic (I’m waiting for Paton to take credit for forcing Eric Massa from [...]
Three short observations on today’s official announcement about the modern streetcar project:
- Our friend Frank Antenori was on Jon Justice’s show this morning saying that the work on this was all Raúl Grijalva and Gabrielle Giffords. He says it like this is a bad thing. Apparently, they were supposed to sit on their hands and [...]
Yesterday, Raúl Grijalva brought Labor Secretary Hilda Solís to town to tour the Kino Teen Center and Las Artes, and tomorrow, both Grijalva and Gabrielle Giffords will be hosting Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood.
Is it just me, or does that name conjure up images of a cowled pirate from a 70’s cartoon?
LaHood, Grijalva, Giffords and Mayor [...]
A few people I have been talking to have been looking at the budget proposal that John Munger has put forward. There are many things in there to object to, and some that are just plain silly. For example, he believes that $600,000,000 can be generated over two years by taking the money raised by [...]
Laurie Roberts had a piece on the Republic’s website with the headline that screamed “Dems Smear Paton with B Word.”
Hmm. The “B” word? What was this horrible accusation that Democrats “smeared” Paton with? “Smear” usually denotes something horrible…what was this “smear”? Battery? Bipolar? Beastiality?
Nope…it’s “Bush.”
Yep, this “smear” that Roberts is refering to is a state [...]
Jesse Kelly put out a press release yesterday touting Trent Franks’s prediction that Kelly would defeat Gabrielle Giffords.
So, let me get this straight: an out of town congressman appears in town for a fundraiser for Kelly, a congressman whose politics are way out of whack with the district and whose visits to the region could [...]
So the current speculation on Jonathan Paton’s political plans run on two distinct tracks: one is that he’s hungry to make the jump now and with the current environment, why the heck not?
The other one says, no, he’ll wait. The logic in this one is that with the number of retirements in the Senate it [...]
