Paton Place

So the current speculation on Jonathan Paton’s political plans run on two distinct tracks: one is that he’s hungry to make the jump now and with the current environment, why the heck not?
The other one says, no, he’ll wait. The logic in this one is that with the number of retirements in the Senate it [...]

Oh, Come On

The folks at the Yellow Sheet decided to take on the Democratic Party for, it seems, a press release that the party sent a year and a half ago.
You may recall that during the heady days of the 2008 campaign, Tim Bee brought George W. Bush to Tucson for a fundraiser for his run for [...]

Rumor Dissolution Department

An R-Cubed operative called me the other day to tell me that he’d heard a rumor that Tim Bee was thinking about running for Superintendent of Public Instruction. I violated the blogger code of ethics by calling Bee and ask him if there is any truth to it.
He said nope.
We talked about how hard it [...]

Yeah, Yeah, It’s All Napolitano’s Fault

The new meme among Republicans is that the current budget mess is all the fault of Janet Napolitano. Here’s Randy Pullen:
This crisis is the legacy of Janet Napolitano. The days of runaway spending and big government are over here in Arizona, as are the days of rainbow revenue projections.
I’ll let you sit back for a [...]

It Doesn’t Totally Ruin Our Fun

Well, the RNC has elected Michael Steele their new chairman. Chip Saltzman (he of “Barack the Magic Negro” fame) didn’t even make a race of it after his support evaporated, but Katon Dawson made a good run at it, even leading on the fourth ballot.
You’d think that someone like Dawson would have made good fodder [...]

Premature Speculation, But Not So Speculative

All eyes seem to be on the maybe soon open Congressional District 7, but we don’t even know if it will actually be open. But, over on the other side of Country Club Road, there is already mumbling about which Republican gets to be beaten like a gong by Gabrielle Giffords and pretend to like [...]

True Tales from the Campaign Trail!

A friend of mine has been doing work for Raúl Grijalva. He was at the Arizona – USC game this weekend, and happened to walk by Tim Bee’s tailgate party. He also happened to be wearing a Barack Obama t-shirt.
Bee shouts out to him: “I love Obama!”
Um, yeah.
Bee approached him, my friend mentions that he [...]

Giffords’s Closer

Yep, it’s minute 75 and she’s two goals up. Time to play possession and run the clock. Or, maybe it’s the ninth inning and she’s a couple of runs ahead, time to bring in a closer.
I like this ad, nice way to end the campaign: just remind people why they like you in the first [...]

Change You Can Xerox?

Yes, yes, both PolitickerAZ and Scramblewatch have already covered this one (Curse You, Nintzel and Brown!), but, gawddernit, it is so beautiful, it needs to be repeated.
Okay, I guess the premise is that these two guys, Orville and Ed are supposed to be two regular folks from Southeastern Arizona. Now, mind you, I have lived [...]

Timby On Offense

One common thing that campaigns do is hand out football schedules at games. Back when I was a teenager, I handed out schedules that had Dennis DeConcini’s campaign logo on them. I remember that Eddie Basha had schedules that included a cartoon of him in a football uniform.
The main point of these is to get [...]
