Sam Wercinski has landed the endorsement of former Democratic Party Chairman Jim Pederson. Pederson will also be serving on Wercinski’s finance committee.
People that are obsessed with playing the Arizona equivalent of “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon” would want me to point out that Pederson is close to David Waid, who served as Pederson’s executive director [...]
Think back to 2006 when Jim Pederson was running for the Senate. It was always amusing when I would read Republican operatives and bloggers taking potshots at Pederson for his wealth and supposedly trying to “buy” a Senate seat. All of a sudden, Republicans were skeptical of wealthy candidates and excessive money in elections. It [...]
Phil Gordon has told potential supporters and karmazyn that he will not be a candidate for governor next year.
Gordon’s name had resurfaced after Jim Pederson dropped out, leaving Terry Goddard skeptics with only the possibility of the mercurial Neil Giuliano as a way to express themselves (Heaven forbid that Valley of the Sun residents would [...]
Jim Nintzel over at the Weekly had a take on the Governor’s race that I’m very surprised that I haven’t heard more:
[I]t’s bad news for Dave Bradley, the state lawmaker from midtown Tucson who was mulling a gubernatorial run. Given how little name ID he has statewide, Bradley’s odds were long to begin with, but [...]
Yeah, by the time I got confirmation, y’all already had it from a dozen sources. I think I had it first though. Not to brag or anything, of course.
I spoke with someone close to Jim Pederson’s operation, and he elaborated on the publicly stated reasons for him leaving the race. Pederson had already been acting [...]
I’m trying to run down a rumor that Jim Pederson is not running for governor. I’m pretty sure many of you are hearing the rumors too. As soon as I have stronger confirmation, I’ll let all y’all know.
Just because I’ve been neglectful about the goings on in next year’s Democratic gubernatorial primary/bloodbath, I need to do one of those lazy, capsule posts with little or no useful perspective offered. Yeah, don’t I suck?
Jim Pederson – Over the last couple of weeks, Pederson and his cadre have been touting their website, Stand Up [...]
Word has leaked out to this intrepid blogger that the search for a new executive director for the Arizona Democratic party has been winnowed (sort of, I’ll get to that later) to two candidates: former Raúl Grijalva staffer Luís Heredia and current acting executive director Devin Rankin.
One of the reasons for this drawn out process [...]
In all the recriminations among party activists about the decision to hire a “head hunter” to help out with the search for an executive director, folks have missed out on a small but important sign for the next two years of the party.
In my post about the hiring of the firm, I think I left [...]
Somebody keeps commenting under the name “Jim Pederson.” I’ve deleted these comments, but the person posting them has put up new ones.
These comments are obviously a joke, but given how many times I’ve written posts that I thought were obviously satire that were taken seriously (and how many people continue to take Republitard’s comments at [...]
