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 […]
The State Democratic Party is going to be electing a chair in January, and there is already some speculation about possible candidates.
Of course, this speculation is premised on current chair David Waid not running. I don’t know if he has made a decision either way as of yet. There are a few activists who were […]
Some of us were very confused by the Star’s endorsement of Jon Kyl. The Star had been editorializing positions that were counter to everything Kyl is campaigning on, so it didn’t make any sense for them to go ahead and endorse the guy.
The rumor that has been making the rounds in journalistic circles is that […]
I spoke to a fellow political hack who pointed out to me that Democratic candidates often break late in Arizona. This is caused by the Republican registration advantage and our late primary.
One of the things that people forget about the 2002 campaign was that few, if any polls, showed Democrat Janet Napolitano ahead. For the […]
Political entrail reader Larry Sabato, of whom I have it on high authority has read this blog at leat once, has a stunning prediction about the election from his “Crystal Ball”:
[T]he Crystal Ball cannot identify a single election for Senate, House or Governor in which a Republican is likely to succeed a Democrat in office.
Of […]
Release today from the Arizona Conference of Police and Sheriffs, the largest law enforcement group in the state:
The 7,000 member law enforcement association, The Arizona Conference of Police and Sheriffs (AZCOPS) today enthusiastically endorsed Democrat Jim Pederson for US Senate over incumbent Jon Kyl. Jim Pederson shares AZCOPS’ commitment to public safety and law enforcement […]
The results of the final Tucson Weekly poll on the CD 8 race have been posted at their blog, along with some quickie analysis of the numbers by Jim Nintzel. I imagine that a more complete analysis will be posted tonight as well as in the print edition that strikes the streets of the Naked […]
We here at R Cubed, we’re like the Pinkertons, agents all over. One of my high ranking opperatives spotted the weekly anti-war/pro-war protest over at Speedway and Euclid. These have taken an electoral tone as of late, with the pro-war protestors carrying signs for Republican candidates.
There was a group of people holding Jon Kyl and […]
Bruce Merrill’s KAET poll has been released, and it is up here.
As I reported earlier, Jim Pederson is within the margin of error, and Jon Kyl still hasn’t broken 50%.
The talk among Democratic politicos today is that tonight’s Bruce Merrill poll will show that Jim Pederson is within the margin of error of Jon Kyl.
Actually, I heard that KUAT spent $10,000 on a poll, but when it showed Pederson ahead, they burried it. Would you believe, they spent an addtional $8,000 to build a […]
