This from Bob Lord’s open letter to Democratic activists, published here last year when he decided not to run for party chair:
I’m virtually certain John Shadegg will not seek re-election in 2010. As he made clear during the 2008 campaign, his heart just isn’t in the job anymore. His decision to reverse his retirement announcement [...]
The stunning news from J. D. Hayworth’s Twitter feed yesterday:
With John Shadegg announcing his retirement, it means that fully a third of Arizona’s Republican House delegation is jumping ship. Could this indicate a coming Democratic wave?
John Shadegg announced that he is not running for re-election. I don’t want to get too excited about this, given the brevity of his previous “retirement.”
Shadegg’s previous attempt at retirement set off some short lived jockeying for his seat among a couple of legislators. I’m trying to imagine how much worse the leadership crisis on [...]
Republican National Committeeman Bruce Ash put up a response to my post congratulating Regina Romero for having a baby stating that he hopes she doesn’t use the child as a “political human shield.” I’m still stuck on what prompted this little outburst. Surely, Ash wouldn’t be such a jackass as to criticize Romero for being [...]
(It is worth knowing that O’Reilly, even when he is right, still shows himself to be an idiot. How does Shadegg become si-DAYG?)
The Arizona Democratic Party put out a press release refuting Shadegg’s claims about the bill. I half expected the Arizona Republicans to put out a press release condemning the Dems for attacking a [...]
Come on, really? One of the most important legislative debates of the last decade, and the man resorts to baby talk. Way to represent your constituents, congressman.
In a further embarrassment, Shadegg had bragged earlier this week that he’d kill the anti-abortion Stupak Amendment (one that irritated most Democrats but gave some with heavilly Catholic districts [...]
The current talk among politicos is that La Cervecera will not be running for a full term next year, and that the candidate that the Republican establishment will rally around will be Jeff Flake.
Sounds plausible. I have no doubt that Flake would be a formidable candidate in the general election. In addition to his stature [...]
I don’t know how many of you have been following Michelle Bachmann’s latest unhinged crusade. She’s running a constitutional amendment to stop Barack Obama from hatching his imminent plan to replace the dollar with some phantom global currency that the Gnomes of Zürich are plotting to place in our pockets one night.
Never mind that neither [...]
I went over the roll call vote on the bill to impose a 90% tax on bonuses employees of companies taking stimulus money. It goes without saying that this was in reaction to the huge bonuses being given to the employees of AIG Financial Products, who, if anything, should be giving back their bonuses, business [...]
