I was chagrined yesterday when I saw that after Barack Obama had met with Gabrielle Giffords, Gifffords rzecznik C. J. Karamargin had given Greg Sargent the news that Giffords was, well, still officially uncommitted.
I mean, how am I supposed to keep up my reputation as a Giffords toady if these people give their exclusives to […]
Well, it looks like Tim Bee is able to raise money after all. Good for him, I suppose. Although, as a well known Gabrielle Giffords Yes Man, I’d like to point out that Giffords raised slightly more money than Bee, and still has far more cash on hand than Bee. She’s beating him by more […]
Yeah, Tim Bee was hoping everyone forgot about that ad. Well, now he has an FEC complaint about the ad hanging over his head.
Attacks on Bee a few months back over his not resigning his office while “exploring” a congressional run had no legal result, but seemed to make him dial back on campaign activities. Even if […]
Poking around yesterday, I found out that the Tim Bee ad that I wrote about the other day was paid for by an organization called the Education Finance Reform Group. As Daniel Scarpinato reported in this morning’s Star, this organization is funded by several local school districts to lobby the legislature.
So, why on earth is school district money […]
The first quarter is over, so this is the time that the various campaigns spin how wonderful or gawdawful their fundraising was in anticipation of the official numbers that will come out in a few weeks.
According to R-Cubed’s crack research team (yes, they are on crack), the only one to have filed their official report already […]
For some reason, one particular post in from June of 2006 became a favorite target of spambots advertising pornography. The “comments” that were posted would not have been a problem since the post was so old, except that they all showed up in the “recent comments” section on the side bar. Some of these were […]
I’m hearing various theories about John McCain’s coattails here in Arizona. I’m not buying that he’ll have much of them. Even Barry Goldwater’s candidacy didn’t produce much in the way of coattails here (even though it did in the South). His friend Richard Kleindienst lost to Democrat Sam Goddard for Governor at the same time […]
Just as I thought I’d have nothing but the presidential race to write about, our friends at the State Republican Party have decided to help me out by sending out a poorly thought out press release attacking Gabrielle Giffords on, of all issues, domestic violence.
It doesn’t start out as an attack. If you were just […]
I spoke with someone in Gabrielle Giffords’s office the other day. As it turns out, the ads that the group “Defense of Democracies” has been running to encourage folks to call Giffords’s office to support granting immunity to telecommunications companies that have violated people’s rights have had quite the opposite effect. They are getting many more calls in favor […]
I recieved an e-mail from someone asking me about the group Defense of Democracies that is running ads telling us Baja Arizonenses to call Gabrielle Giffords and give her a what for because of the House’s lack of action on the Terrorist Surveillance legislation. Heck, I called her to tell her to keep up the […]
