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 […]
Last week, a mailer from the National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund hit mailboxes in CD 8. The mailer endorsed Randy Graf and Jon Kyl.
By the way, the mailer was a post card that looked like something that a particularly dull neighborhood association would put out. Geez, here I thought the NRA was well funded.
One […]
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 […]
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 […]
How have I avoided writing about the Senate race? I somehow managed to not only miss last Wednesday’s debate between all three candidates, but I missed today’s KUAZ rebroadcast. If this keeps up, I may need to turn in my political junkie license.
A couple of things have been striking me. Jim Pederson has been running […]
The Jim Pederson - Jon Kyl debate is on again for Wednesday. Apparently, it will be at 6:30 on KUAT, but some details are still being worked out. From what I heard, Libertarian candidate Richard Mack will be there.
Of course, this all could have changed since I last talked to anyone about it. It could […]
Well, I certainly hope that this puts the nail in the coffin for all of you who still cling to the quaint notion that John McCain is some sort of benevolent, moderating force within the Republican party. The Star ran an article this morning announcing McCain’s endorsement of Randy Graf.
McCain’s state director, Paul Hickman, said:
He […]
The other day, I threw some totally undeserved scorn at the political reporters at the Star. I am not always happy with the stories in our morning broadsheet, but the political repoters are hard working, and their editors are a lot more interested in running their political stories than they have been in the past.
I […]
So, I’m a bit confused. This may be the paranoid activist in me, but it seems like every time Jim Pederson runs a new ad, it takes ten minutes before the Star is regurgitating Jon Kyl’s press release as an “ad watch.” In the meantime, the Minutemen have this ad with various claims about Gabrielle […]
Our favorite border vigilante, Chris Simcox, has endorsed Don Goldwater. I’m thinking of that moment in the 1964 election when leaders of the Ku Klux Klan announced their support of Barry Goldwater, Don’s uncle. Someone said, “Goldwater isn’t for the racists, but all the racists are for Goldwater.”
I’ll give this Goldwater the benefit of the […]
Even though she was turned out of office a few years ago, Rep. Barbara Blewster still feels that she has much to contribute to the debate. She recently sent out an e-mail to the members of the legislature:
Dear Members,
Thank you again for voting for the Stop the Free Trade Area of the America (FTAA) Resolution. […]
The Arizona Republican Party site is back up! So I can get back to posting about something real instead of being petty by complaining about the pettiness of other folks.
The always classy Matt Salmon issued a statement on Jim Pedersen’s resignation as Arizona Democratic Party chairman:
“This institutionalized disorganization within the Arizona Democrat Party is why […]
Former Congressman Sam Coppersmith has added Rum, Romanism and Rebellion to his links. It actually is an honor, and that’s not just me trying to puff him up.
I worked on Rep. Coppersmith’s senate race back in 1994. Unfortunately, he got spanked by Jon Kyl, who will get spanked next year by Jim Pedersen (shh…he’s not […]
