I recieved a couple of e-mails this weekend from people preturbed that the state party is hiring a head hunter to search for the next executive director. I share a great deal of the concerns of the people that wrote me, but I did a little poking around and found out a little about what [...]
Some folks decided to bash Jonathan Paton in one of my posts about Steve Leal. Hey, bash his silly, somewhat punitive and nakedly partisan proposal, but, the guy does live in city limits.
Republicans in Tucson have been trying to get rid of partisan elections for city council for years. The arguments have ranged from whiny [...]
Already, the names of possible candidates have been surfacing for Steve Leal’s seat. One is Eva Carrillo-Dong, longtime member of the Sunnyside School Board. Her name was also out two years ago as a possible replacement for Leal if he resigned to run for mayor. There may be a hitch though: already, one person has [...]
At this weekend’s Democratic Party meeting up in Flagstaff, Phil Gordon will be attending the Hispanic Caucus. Gordon’s staff requested the chance to address the group, and at first I had the impression that he would be doing a one man show there (and that he’d even buy us lunch!) but now that I’ve recieved the final agenda, [...]
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 [...]
