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 […]
Local Buisinessman Joe Higgins is talking himself up as a candidate in the Republican Primary to Ann Day. I’m sure that he is no relation, genetically or philisophically, to the Joe Higgins that served in the Irish Parliament as the lone member of the socialist Techta Dála party from 1997-2007.
Higgins owns several local buisinesses, including […]
There has been a bit of a scramble on the part of local Democrats to find a candidate to run for State Senate in District 26 after Charlene Pesquiera’s withdrawl. It appears that they have settled on one: local consultant Cheryl Cage.
I first met Cage when she was part of an informal group of Wesley […]
For those of you following the latest hoopla regarding outlawing gay marriage in our great state (shh…don’t tell them it’s already illegal), I ran across an interesting set of statistics.
You can still find some exit poll numbers for 2006’s failed Protect Marriage Arizona effort at CNN’s website. We Grand Canyon State liberals love to point […]
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 […]
What, an anouncement on Friday? Naw…Monday? Hey, it’s Tuesday…
The new word on the street (because, as Howard Devoto said, I am the street where you live) is that Ken Bennett will not run for congress. Heck, he already was a senator and a president, why would he want to settle for representative now?
The talk is […]
Last week, Washington Post scribe Chris Cillizza asked readers of his blog, The Fix, to choose the best local political blogs in each state. Well, the votes came in. And the winner is this here fine piece of blogitude.
And I didn’t even run one of those “please vote for me” posts.
My favorite comment was this […]
As I fully expected, the legislature has gone ahead and passed an ill-concieved extension of a property tax break. This is happening while the same legislature has to figure out how to fix a $1.2 Billion hole in the current state budget.
What is particularly funny is the contorted logic employed by supporters of this plan. […]
Steve Emerine is a frequent reader of this here blog, and he also sends me copies of his columns for Inside Tucson Business. In a column printed on Friday, he went off on local leaders who he thinks are ignoring the economic downturn. Some of it (like his attack on Tim Bee for focusing on […]
Bill Clinton, October 25, 2004:
Now, one of Clinton’s laws of politics is this. If one candidate is trying to scare you and the other one is try get you to think, if one candidate is appealing to your fears and the other one is appealing to your hopes, you better vote for the person who […]
