Color Nintz Skeptical

Wednesday, August 22, 2012

Martha McSally’s campaign released a poll this morning showing that they are only behind Ron Barber by five points. Of course, it also shows Barber at 50%…meaning even if these numbers are true, if the election were held today, McSally could get most of the remaining votes and still lose. (By the way, I hate [...]

Cheuvront and Cheuvront Double Down

Monday, August 20, 2012

A couple of months back, a Phoenix politico told me about a poll that showed Ken Cheuvront beating Katie Hobbs. Now I’m hearing reports that Cheuvront is not doing as well anymore, even a few anecdotes of former Cheuvront supporters replacing their yard signs with Hobbs ones. Like I said, that’s anecdotal, but you only [...]

Russell Pearce Would Have Taken the Guy Out, No Doubt

Monday, July 23, 2012

Another of former Senator Russell Pearce’s missives (and it feels so good to say “former”) made the rounds this weekend, and it doesn’t even involve bigotry. Here he is with his solution to the shooting incident in Colorado, posted on Facebook only an hour or so after reports of the incident hit the news (yes, [...]

Please Let Me Introduce You to a Brand New Idea

Wednesday, June 27, 2012

It seems to happen every Arizona election: a Democrat wins office somewhere and then comes the allegation that illegal aliens voted. That’s got to be it, because my guy can’t have lost fair and square. In 2010, the allegation came from people around Jesse Kelly and Ruth McClung. There were people being bussed in illegally [...]

Ron Barber’s Remarks on the House Floor

Tuesday, June 19, 2012

Here are the remarks of Arizona’s newest Congressman, Ron Barber, shortly after being sworn in to the United States House of Representatives this morning. I would like to thank the Arizona delegation for that warm welcome. And I would like to thank Speaker Boehner for his long and dedicated public service and for swearing me [...]

What Ever Happened to…?

Thursday, June 7, 2012

One of the interesting side bars from this week’s ouster of two members of the Rio Nuevo Board is that Jonathan Paton has still not been replaced on that body. Paton is currently running for congress in CD 1. How are things going in that race? Well, kind of sluggish. His first quarter fundraising was [...]

Just for Kicks, Google “Pele Massa”

Friday, April 20, 2012

So, why the bruhaha over Ted Nugent? I guess he’d get more attention for his music if he’d done anything notable since Damn Yankees broke up, and even that was of dubious value. He definitely crossed some lines with his comments, so much so that even the NRA is trying to get some distance. The [...]

AFL-CIO Announces More Endorsements

Wednesday, March 21, 2012

A while back, the state AFL-CIO announced the endorsements of Raúl Grijalva, Ed Pastor and Gabrielle Giffords. Although the Giffords endorsement turned out to be moot, none of the names were surprising. They released another set of federal endorsements today. They endorsed Richard Carmona for the US Senate over Don Bivens. Yep, Carmona is seen [...]

Two and Eight

Monday, February 13, 2012

Okay…here’s where it stands now: Ron Barber is running for CD 8, but will likely announce over the next few days that he will not be running for CD 2. Paula Aboud will probably be announcing today that she will run for CD 2. A robocall went out to Democratic activists saying that she’d be [...]
