Years ago, when Jim Pederson first ran for chair of the state Democratic party, someone had made “Jim Pederson for Governor” signs and put them up in the hall. This couldn’t have made the then attorney general happy. They didn’t stay up long.
Well, according to the Arizona Republic’s Plugged In blog, Pederson is seriously entertaining […]
Last week, Jan Brewer raised hackles because of what she called fraudulent tactics on the part of petition passers. Apparently, she alleges, some folks passing a petition to change the composition of the Arizona Redistricting Commission used “bait and switch” tactics. This left me to wonder, where was Brewer when the anti-gay marriage and PAN […]
You may remember that Republican Mahout Randy Pullen sent out a press release decrying the Senate immigration compromise, a fact that many of us have found interesting given that Jon Kyl has been credited for being the main guy pushing for it.
(Of course, many of the provisions of the bill were exactly the sorts of things […]
One of John McCain’s lines in the debate the other night was saying he doesn’t change his positions in even numbered years. Apparently, this isn’t a quality that his seat mate shares.
We are all supposed to slap Jon Kyl on the back for being such a swell guy and taking the lead on an immigration […]
I attended the State Democratic Party meeting yesterday. I heard from more than a few folks that I haven’t listed the possible Democratic candidates in CD 1. Yeah, because I haven’t written enough about CD1. I don’t even live in CD 1.
I have two reasons why I haven’t done a post on the candidates in […]
Much has been made about how much money John McCain has raised in Arizona, but little attention has been paid to how much money Democratic candidates have raised in Arizona. Y’all could check this out yourself on Open Secrets, but you’ll miss my brilliant and insightful commentary.
Yeah.
Anyway, here are the raw numbers:
Bill Richardson - $71,325
Barack […]
I recieved an e-mail from a reader who asked me about a rumor that Jim Pederson was going to chair Hillary Clinton’s Arizona campaign.
I took extra-ordinary measures to verify this rumor. I picked up the phone, and called…
…Jim Pederson.
I go this extra mile because of the love I have for you, my loyal readers.
Pederson told […]
Politico Mafioso was poking fun at Leonard Clark and William Crum and their recall attempt against John McCain. Mafioso’s main poke at the recall is that these guys are folks that have run for office a few times and failed, so they’ll fail here.
Point taken about their previous runs. Clark made a great deal of […]
The Hotline has a preview of former DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe’s book, What a Party!: My Life Among Democrats: Presidents, Candidates, Donors, Activists, Alligators, and Other Wild Animals. In it, apparently, we get a mention of our own former Democratic Chairman, Jim Pederson. Far better for you to read it yourself.
Who is coming up with […]
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:

Gov. Janet Napolitano - 67 mentions
Rep. Raúl Grijalva - 67 mentions
