Today comes a story in The Hill headlined “Pentagon blasts Ariz. Senate candidate.” It’s about Richard Carmona’s resignation from the panel that was being set up to study what was going wrong at Dover Air Force Base. I don’t think “blasts” is the right word, but from the article, it sounds like DOD officials were [...]

With Richard Carmona’s announcement this morning, the next question becomes, what about the only Democrat to already announce? Well, the word from the Don Bivens camp is full steam ahead. Press release after the jump.

You hear that? Yeah, I can’t either. I’ve been straining myself trying to hear Republican complaints about how the Independent Redistricting Commission is a Star Chamber run by puppeteers in a White House sub-basement, taking orders from Rahm Emanuel, Van Jones and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

A hearty “thank you” from this humble blogger to Harry Mitchell, Raúl Grijalva, Gabrielle Giffords and Ed Pastor for voting yes on the DREAM Act yesterday. It passed the House, and will move to a Senate vote next week. In a story all too familiar, there are enough votes to pass the bill in the [...]
Years ago, when Sam Coppersmith was running for the US Senate, he made a visit to the U of A. After a short talk, a Republican in the crowd wanted to know how he could call himself a fiscal conservative when he voted for Bill Clinton’s budget. Those of you that remember that race, Coppersmith [...]

I was sent a snippet from Hotline yesterday that listed ad buys by the National Republican Congressional Campaign Committee in various congressional districts.

Dave Schweikert is touting an opinion piece from the Arizona Republic on his website about what a great fiscal warrior he is. Here it is, from the “Why David?” section of his website: See what others have said about David Schweikert … The Arizona Republic: “… Warrior will take on big spenders.” From ‘Keep politics [...]

Since it looks more likely that Harry Mitchell will weather the latest Dave Schweikert campaign, can we call him the Joe Sweeney of the East Valley after November or do we have to wait for him to lose one more election?

Shortly after the State of the Union address, several congressional web sites apparently attacked by Brazillian hackers. Among the group of 26 members of the house whose sites were hacked was our own Harry Mitchell. According to the site Praetorian Prefect (Ford’s brother, I guess), the sites were hacked by a group called Red Eye [...]

As it happens, there was a resolution in the United States House of Representatives honoring Real Salt Lake for winning MLS Cup this year over the Los Angeles Galaxy. The resolution was sponsored by Democrat Jim Matheson. There is also a similar resolution in the United States Senate, but for reasons that are typically obscure [...]
