So, Mo Udall was able to do something in the World Cup of Arizona Politics that he wasn’t able to do in any of the 1976 Presidential Primaries or with the Denver Nuggets…come in first place.
Your winners are…
Gold Medal – Mo Udall (D – Tucson)
Silver Medal – Terry Goddard (D – Phoenix)
Bronze Medal – Gabrielle [...]
Okay, it took me a bit longer to set up the final in the World Cup of Arizona Politics than it did the earlier rounds. This was done to give the participants time to rest up before the last match.
We are down to Mo Udall and Terry Goddard in the final. Gabrielle Giffords is up [...]
The semi-finals have been set in the World Cup of Arizona Politics. In one match it’s Mo Udall versus Gabrielle Giffords, and in the other it’s Terry Goddard against Isabella Greenway. Greenway came out ahead after a seesaw battle with the last Republican in the competition, Barry Goldwater.
As usual, you can vote at the semi-finals [...]
Okay, okay, I forgot about Bruce Babbitt. Hard to forget about the guy, since he was governor from when I was seven until well into my High School years. Fred DuVal will, no doubt, have a penance prepared for me that will involve a hairshirt and reruns of the 1988 Democratic primary debates.
And yes Adam, [...]
Afghanistan? Tiger Woods? Don Stapely? Never mind that, what is going on in the World Cup of Arizona Politics?
It appears that Mo Udall and Terry Goddard are running away in their groups, with others fighting for a distant second. If there is a “Group of Death,” it would be Group 2, where John McCain managed [...]
Quick, who was the longest serving member of Congress? Well, up until this week, you could have proudly mentioned Carl Trumbull Hayden of Tempe. As of this week, however, the good Senator Hayden has lost that distinction to Robert Byrd of West Virginia.
Hayden served a term as Sheriff of Maricopa County, then ran for Arizona’s [...]
Since it is St. Patrick’s day, it is appropriate to put up a tribute to a certain Mr. William Owen “Buckey” O’Neill. O’Neill was one of a breed you find in the history of many states: the colorful Irish politician.
There was a rumor going around the capitol that Richard Kimball, the Democratic nominee to US Senate in 1986 and now the head of Project Vote Smart, was going to endorse Tim Bee.
This sounded weird to me, since Kimball’s current work keeps him from taking sides in elections by necessity. The closest he’s come is [...]
I recieved a missive from one of my senior correspondents today consisting only of two short quotes:
For several weeks, I have been the subject of leaked stories, conjecture, and false attacks about a land exchange. None of them bear any resemblance to the truth, including the rumor that I am planning on resigning.
Rick Renzi, 10 [...]
Years ago, I attended a memorial service for Morris Udall. One of the speakers was author and environmental activist Terry Tempest Williams. She pointed to Udall’s Mormon upbringing as a big part of why he became congress’s greatest conservationist. She read some passages that were quite beautiful calls to protect the earth. Many in the [...]
