Last week, I wrote a little bit about an e-mail exchange between Rep. Chad Campbell and anti-tax advocate Tom Jenney. To the credit of both Campbell and Jenney, the exchange was actually about policy differences. The e-mails were in regard to an article that Jenney wrote in the Phoenix Business Journal, and were “cc’d” to […]
I’d suggest that at Harry Mitchell’s re-election party next year, they serve toast. Why? Because that is what every Republican watcher said the guy would be after he beat J. D. Hayworth last year. Mitchell would be a one-term wonder along with Jim McNulty and Karan English and would end up doing those American Express ads that […]
It is not Greg Patterson’s job to satisfy me. As a matter of fact, if I were happy with Greg’s stuff on any sort of regular basis, it would be time for both of us to check our meds. We’d both need more.
But, I have to say I am disappointed in the former State Representative. […]
Anyone notice that Harry Mitchell voted against the Democratic budget resolution? Here’s the release from his office:
WASHINGTON, D.C. - For the second time in six weeks, U.S. Rep. Harry Mitchell voted against the Democratic budget resolution, saying the latest plan also fails to assuage his concerns about increased government spending and tax cuts.
Despite Mitchell’s nay […]
After the last election, you’d often hear near cackling from Republicans about how Harry Mitchell was some one-term fluke, destined to join the ranks of Sam Coppersmith, Karan English and Jim McNulty as Democratic one-term wonders. (The wonders don’t care, we don’t give a damn…) We heard how a Republican, any Republican, would run over […]
I watched a wee bit of Arizona Capitol Television yesterday. I really have no excuse for this. I don’t have a head injury and the remote worked just fine. I don’t know what came over me.
I caught a bit of a hearing on SR 1003, which would reject recommendations from the Governor’s office on salaries […]
An article in the latest Roll Call (not linking article since a subscription is required) entitled “National GOP Hits Arizona Frosh” details the way the Republican Party has chosen to go after Harry Mitchell and Gabrielle Giffords. Of course they will: Giffords’s district had been represented by a Republican since 1985, and Mitchell’s has been since, […]
The Hill last week announced that John Edwards has made public a list of twelve house members who have endorsed him. On that list: Raúl Grijalva.
This may be thought of as “letting the cat out of the bag,” but the bag was a clear plastic one. Grijalva was courted heavilly by Edwards back in 2002 […]
John Shadegg has apparently fallen right off the deep end and landed squarely in the middle of Burpleson Air Force Base.
Shadegg’s campaign sent an e-mail out that trashed HB 800, the Employee Free Choice Act, and singled out one supporter in particular for condemnation. Shadegg made the same tired arguments that this is somehow a […]
The US Chamber of Commerce is going full bore against HB 800, the Employer Free Choice Act. They are running radio ads against Harry Mitchell, which can be found on the Chamber’s press page.
The ads are over the top, accusing Mitchell of being against the right to vote and the right to privacy. Pretty ridiculous, really. […]
