John McCain…In Tucson Even!

John McCain is actually coming to Tucson today. And no, I don’t mean Marana or some country club in the Foothills, he’ll be at the U of A basketball game. No word on who he will cheer for.
He’ll be bringing Scott Brown with him. I guess McCain is supposed to bask in Brown’s reflective glow. [...]

Nuklo Berserk!

So, our Senators, particularly Jon Kyl, have been throwing the term “Nuclear Option” around when discussing the horribly undemocratic concept of having something pass by majority vote. If having to get 51 votes for something to pass is the equivalent of levelling a city, what does it mean when one guy has a fit of [...]

Senate Follies

Okay, let me get this right:
John McCain not only voted for TARP but suspended his campaign to show how important he thought it was, but now claims that he had no earthly idea what was in it.
J. D. Hayworth now says his statements claiming that Barack Obama was born in Kenya were just meant to [...]

Quick Take

John McCain is deeply disappointed that Barack Obama has failed to follow through on John McCain’s campaign promises.

Really, John?

To summarize John McCain’s comments before the Arizona Republic editorial board: I really had no idea what I was doing.
So, let me get this straight: a year and a half ago, he was so supportive of this bailout that he tried to “suspend” his campaign (cancelled an appearance on Letterman even!), challenged Barack Obama to [...]

Herlihy Campaigning Service

I got an e-mail from John McCain asking for me to sign on to his supporter list. Not an unusual request, even if it arrives in my e-mail box from a Republican. What is unusual is the title: “I need to know you stand with me.”
I dunno. Sounds a bit desperate, like he thinks he’s [...]

It’s Cabinet Week In the Old Pueblo

Yesterday, Raúl Grijalva brought Labor Secretary Hilda Solís to town to tour the Kino Teen Center and Las Artes, and tomorrow, both Grijalva and Gabrielle Giffords will be hosting Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood.
Is it just me, or does that name conjure up images of a cowled pirate from a 70’s cartoon?
LaHood, Grijalva, Giffords and Mayor [...]

John MacCain

Legend has it that local music icon and unofficial Mayor of Downtown Tucson Al Perry used to purposely mispell Tucson on press materials when he would put out new music. He figured, well, they’ll misspell it anyway.
It appears that John McCain has a bit of that spelling problem the good Mr. Perry alluded to. Earlier [...]

Whackjobs of a Feather

Joe Arpaio sent out a fundraising letter for J. D. Hayworth, bashing John McCain as a “moderate or even liberal.”
Arpaio’s attacks on McCain come as a surprise to folks from outside of the state, but as E. J. Montini points out, it shouldn’t come as much of a shock to people who actually follow our [...]

But if 41 Is a Majority…

John McCain has slipped to 40% in a new Rocky Mountain Poll.
Ouch.
I guess we know why this man isn’t smiling.
So, how long before the low approval rating of a Republican icon like McCain in a nominally Republican state is spun to be an indication of the coming Republican resurgence?
