Legend has it that local music icon and unofficial Mayor of Downtown Tucson Al Perry used to purposely mispell Tucson on press materials when he would put out new music. He figured, well, they’ll misspell it anyway.
It appears that John McCain has a bit of that spelling problem the good Mr. Perry alluded to. Earlier [...]
Vince Rabago, who until recently worked for the Attorney General’s Tucson office, has officially filed for Attorney General. He joins House Democratic Leader David Lujan and former prosecutor Felecia Rotellini.
Rabago is a former chair of the Pima County Democratic Party and is originally from Douglas.
I’ve been asked by two R-Cubed fanaticos why I haven’t commented on Humberto Lopez’s recall movement, which he will be kicking off today. Well, I’ve been busy with other politics, okay?
It’ll be interesting to see who Lopez manages to get on board with this. Part of the trouble with recalls is that because of the [...]
A couple of weeks back, Barbara Lawall made a finding that the numerous aspirants/explorers/not candidates were not in violation of the resign to run law. This not only got rid of a quintal of material for Greg Patterson to do his “those darned lawless Democrats” posts, but made the rest of us wonder what the [...]
The Yellow Sheet reported that quite-Republican capitol fixture Farrell Quinlan was subject to a motion at his district club looking to strip him of his vaunted position of Precinct Committeeman. This happened because Quinlan had signed on to the “supporter” page of Terry Goddard on Facebook. Somehow, this is tantamount to being an actual campaign [...]
Marszałek Senatu Bob Burns is angry with Senador Thayer Verschoor, who didn’t show up for Thursday’s extra special session. Burns was so angry with Verschoor that he…tweeted!
Pique is best when done in 140 character segments, I always say.
The funny part about this is that Verschoor was a solid “no” vote, so the results are about [...]
Russell Pearce and Andy Tobin are saying that the state of Arizona does not need to follow the federal “MOE” requirements to get stimulus money. MOE is not a jam band or a member of the Three Stooges but is an acronym for Maintenence of Effort. It’s a fancy way for the feds to say [...]
I realize I am not exactly the model of a “swing” voter, but I often recieve Republican pieces, especially in those races where a Republican candidate needs as many Democratic votes as they can scrape up. At this point in 2005 and 2007, I had been innundated with pieces from Republican candidates and the various [...]
I grievously stole this picture of Russell Pearce’s presser from Sonoran Alliance. Check out who is on the far left (in the positional, rather than political sense): our own Vic Williams.
This is a part of the game Williams has been playing: talk like a sensible moderate in Tucson, while at the same time throwing in [...]
As much as I am enjoying the grand mal seizures that this has already inspired on the right, it does seem to be a bit premature doesn’t it?
