So, John Shadegg made it official…he’s running for re-election after all. This offers us Arizonenses a chance to further enjoy the fruits of the legislative brilliance of Pamela Gorman and Jim Waring.
The talk among political chaterers is that Shadegg’s resignation stunt was done to get himself a position in leadership. So much for “I need to […]
Jim Waring and Pamela Gorman put their anouncements on hold yesterday due to the possibility that John Shadegg might run anyway.
Shadegg, of course, was praised in a letter from 130 of his colleagues who wanted him reconsider his decision not to run. I wonder if decisiveness was one of the traits they liked.
Interesting (for me […]
This could ruin everyone’s plans.
A letter has been sent to John Shadegg signed by Mike Pence (who you may remember was the guy that found downtown Baghdad as safe as Indiana, at least when you have a well armed batallion with you) and 129 other Republican congressmen. They want him to stick around:
As your colleagues, […]
You think that the Republicans were going to let things be easy for Bob Lord? Naw…
I just got an e-mail from a highly placed Republican muckety muck who noted that Speaker Jim Weiers lives in the now candidateless District 3 and is looking at a run. Other folks that may go for it include Pam Gorman and […]
I just got a text from one of my vast network of sources telling me that Rep. John Shadegg will not be seeking re-election.

After the various fundraising scandals that sank many Republican political careers (our own J. D. Hayworth may have been torpedoed, in part, by his association with Jack Abramoff), the sick bastard inside of me worried that the Republicans would learn from these mistakes and not affiliate themselves with some of the more unsavory characters that […]
I heard a bit from Trent Franks on our local NPR affiliate yesterday morning blaming Democrats for the defeat of immigration reform.
A couple of weeks ago, his Republican colleague John Shadegg took credit for helping to defeat immigration reform.
Which is it fellas?
PS - This isn’t the first time they have sent two messages on immigration […]
John Shadegg has apparently fallen right off the deep end and landed squarely in the middle of Burpleson Air Force Base.
Shadegg’s campaign sent an e-mail out that trashed HB 800, the Employee Free Choice Act, and singled out one supporter in particular for condemnation. Shadegg made the same tired arguments that this is somehow a […]
The higher class blog Talking Points Memo is always able to do stuff like this, so we’ll go ahead and try it here. Although, I have a feeling that by the time you read this it may be irrelevant.
If you are in one of Arizona’s five districts with incumbent Republican congressmen running, call up your […]
