Mark Kerr over at the Tucson Observer notes that the ads being run for Florida’s “marriage” ballot proposition are identical to those being run here in Arizona. His question is how two groups can claim they paid to produce the same ad. Are they allowed to split the costs on this sort of thing?
I realize that you are no longer with the Justice Department, but if I am ever in a position to apply for a job where you are doing the hiring, let’s get this out right now:
I have a Sleater-Kinney poster on my wall at home. I have all of their albums. Also, the Abby Wambach jersey […]
When she decided to vote for the anti-gay marriage amendment, Marian McClure gave an apology of sorts. Folks at the capitol have seen this before; McClure does these things and the rest of us are still supposed to see her as a level headed moderate because she feels bad for herself. I don’t have an […]
Some of you may have missed Ann Coulter’s comments at CPAC yesterday. There isn’t much point in elaborating on them, so here is the video:
By the way, this has become somewhat of a fundraising boon for John Edwards. As a way of showing your displeasure with Coulter’s comments, you can make a donation to Edwards’s […]
Writing this blog, it’s like being in the mob. I keep wanting to leave but they keep pulling me back in…
I am still able to read the on-line edition of the Star, of course. Here was a bit from Daniel Scarpinato in today’s Political Notebook column:
On ABC’s “This Week,” host George Stephanopoulos asked [Sen. John] […]
As reported in the Arizona Daily Star yesterday, newly elected Senate President Tim Bee has gotten rid of four staffers: Greg Jernigan, Rob Dalager, Mark Swenson and Nick Simonetta. One capitol observer also told me that another staffer has also been let go, but I haven’t been able to confirm this.
A couple of things are […]
The “Protect Marriage Arizona” ammendment is still failing by approxamately 40,000 votes, according to the Secretary of State’s website.
So, why did we not pass this in Arizona, when such ammendments have passed easily in other states?
I have a couple of theories. One is that this particular ammendment over-reached. Had the ammendment been strictly drawn to […]
Just a couple of thoughts…I’ll write more later when I’m a little more awake.
Anyone remember fifteen months ago or so? I think the prediction was that J. D. Hayworth was going to demoish Janet Napolitano and the Republicans were going to get a bullet-proof 2/3 majority in both houses so even if Napolitano won, she […]
I recieved an e-mail from a reader (you never can really trust them readers, can you?) who was miffed that John McCain is now featured in ads endorsing proposition 107.
It really shouldn’t be suprising. The thing that suprises me is the blinders that so many of us have regarding just how conservative McCain is and […]
I get a regular e-mail bulletin from Charlie Cook. Unfortunately, I can’t remember how it was I managed to subscribe to it, and the posting on his website requires a password.
His latest one, which I recieved yesterday, is a rundown on his thoughts on the special election in Ohio, where Democrat Paul Hackett did surprisingly […]
We managed to get Brittany Farbo elected the treasurer of the GLBT caucus of the Young Democrats of America. This was after she lost elections to be the chair and seceretary of the group.
It was all pretty ridiculous, actually. She has done work for EMILY’s List and works for a pretty snazzy consulting firm in […]
Three people spoke at the YDA convention yesterday. Well, more spoke, but they tended to be YDA officers, and why the heck would any of you care about that?
Rep. Nancy Pelosi spoke first. She’s good. The speech was just a run down of what the has been doing to younger folks. She also had good […]
