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 […]
You may remember that Republican Mahout Randy Pullen sent out a press release decrying the Senate immigration compromise, a fact that many of us have found interesting given that Jon Kyl has been credited for being the main guy pushing for it.
(Of course, many of the provisions of the bill were exactly the sorts of things […]
All of Mo Udall’s talk about the circular firing squads seems to have fallen away and the Democratic caucus has gotten past whatever differences led to the split that was talked about way back in the first week of the session.
This week, the House Democratic caucus has largely held together in opposition to Republican bills. […]
Back in the closing years of the last century, I was regional director for the Young Democrats of America. A month or so into my term, an e-mail hit the YDA listserv (something I started, one of the few tangible accomplishments I made during my brief brush with leadership in that group) announcing that Oklahoma […]
Here’s my prediction: John McCain will win the Arizona Republican Presidential Primary in 2008. (Or “Preference Election” as the Secretary of State says)
I know, I am going out on a real long limb there.
Things like the recent defeat of Fife Symington in the District 11 race may show that there are grumblings on the part […]
This blogger attended the CD 7 candidate forum. This blogger’s observations follow.
Raúl Grijalva did well. Yes, I am horribly biased. He did the job that is called for of an incumbent: he presented his positions and record. I don’t think he scored a “knockout” punch, but he really didn’t have to. Actually, I must also […]
I haven’t been so good about checking the lefty blogs this week. I fell out of the habit of checking Daily Kos. With this available to me, what is the incentive to post a diary on there? Well, I suppose because more people will read it.
There are some folks on there who are rather doctrinaire. […]
