According to the folks over at Sonoran Alliance, the latest jab at Randy Pullen comes from former State Representative Laura Knaperek. Once again this goes back to the $100 contribution that Pullen gave to Harry Mitchell, then a candidate for State Senate.
If you buy into Knaperek’s theory, that contribution to Mitchell led to a series […]
I finally recieved a mailer from Randy Camacho. I thought it was a bit unusual since it contained what was essentially a very wordy palm card, rather than a letter, detailing his 30/15/8 plan. I suppose that the card contained the same information that would be in a “Dear Democratic Friend” letter anyway. It just […]
Rep. Harry Mitchell gave his first speech on the house floor the other day, and it is now posted to YouTube.
Our other newly elected representative also made her debut speech this week, but it hasn’t been posted anywhere that I can find.
The Arizona Democratic Party posted this video (it is the only one posted on […]
Word to C-SPAN junkies: Harry Mitchell will be making his first speech before congress today. I don’t have an exact time, but it should be sometime over the next few hours. He will be speaking on funding stem cell research.
Out with the old and in with the new (which as long-time Tucson music fans know, is the B-Side of Gila Bend’s single “Cantankerous”): J. D. Hayworth’s creepy talking website is down. Jim Kolbe’s website is now just a memory. One can always check the Wayback Machine and see Kolbe’s pages from those thrilling days […]
Last year, I published a top ten list of folks who had been mentioned on my blog. I’d be remiss if I didn’t do that for 2006 as well:
Rep.-elect Gabrielle Giffords - 92 mentions
Rep. Randy Graf - 85 mentions
Gov. Janet Napolitano - 67 mentions
Rep. Raúl Grijalva - 67 mentions
Sen. Jon Kyl - 65 mentions
Patty Weiss […]
There are a few, believe it or not, Republican activists and poohbahs that talk to me. One thing that I’m hearing from a few of them is that the CD 8 and CD 5 seats will be easilly retaken by them.
I don’t think it will be that easy in either race, but please guys, keep […]
As much fun as I’ve had poking at the Republicans, there is a race for Party Chair on our side too.
The last two years have seen three, yes three, State Democratic Party Chairs. Jim Pederson resigned to run for US Senate, his replacement Harry Mitchell resigned to run for US House. Mitchell was replaced with […]
Some of you may be familiar with the lottery system for congressional offices. Before each new congress, offices that have been vacated by retiring or defeated members are put into a pool, and other members get those offices based on seniority and, in the case of ties, a lottery. Offices vacated by members moving up […]
In the latest count, J. D. Hayworth has gained on Harry Mitchell. All of us Democrats counted our chickens too soon and they have come to bite us in the butt. Oh, such hubris, such vanity, such presumption! We were probably high from the fumes of our Volvos and triple lattes. What ever made us […]
