Admittedly, Nancy Young Wright’s chances of getting elected depend on whether the Republicans go full on Tea Party in their primary. And by full on Tea Party, I mean whether they nominate Ally Miller. I only know Mike Hellon and Vic Williams by reputation, but I’ve actually met Stuart McDaniel a couple of times. I [...]

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 [...]
Ron Barber has a new ad up, and I’m happy that it’s out there. A previous ad aired by the DCCC noted Jesse Kelly’s previous and rather inconvienient statements on Medicare, but Kelly just brushed it aside and called it “lies.” Now, it will be hard to do so because he’s talking on video. Hard [...]
Kudos to Mary Jo Pitzl for bringing attention to Sen. Steve Gallardo’s attempt to get some ethics legislation passed. For those who don’t know the history, there was a raft of new legislation passed by our lawmakers in the wake of the Fiesta Bowl scandal to make sure such a thing never happened again. Oh [...]
Hat tip to Jim Nintzel for this one. National Review has, in the words of John McLaughlin, stumbled into the truth and says that Joe Arpaio has settled into the “political mental ward.” What, they are just now realizing this? The national conservative media has been boosting the guy for over a decade, despite his [...]

Ken Bennett held the drawing for the Arizona primary ballot today, and one man not on the list: Jon Huntsman. Okay, Arizona’s rules are barely Virginia level. You don’t need thousands of signatures or any proof at all that you have a base of support in the state. You do need, however, to know a [...]

What the Tucson Weekly terms “Sign Gate” seems to have ended in a bit of a whimper. For those who haven’t been keeping track, Ward 2 Republican candidate Jennifer Rawson wrote checks to several supporters, ostensibly for signs, then those supporters recorded contributions to the campaign in the same amount on the same day. This [...]
I’ve tried to do some poking around about the poll that Jim Nintzel reported on last week. The poll, according to Nintzel (they didn’t poll me for some reason), was a computerized survey asking people their feelings on Jonathan Paton and Democratic mayoral candidate Jonathan Rothschild. Interestingly, filed Republican write-in Rick Grinnell’s name went unmentioned. [...]

Rick Grinnell told Jim Nintzel of the Weekly that he plans on filing to run as a write-in for mayor tomorrow. Why the tease, man? Just file the darned paperwork. It isn’t that hard. Grinnell is a lobbyist for the Rosemont Mine, a member of the do-nothing Rio Nuevo board and the guy who tried [...]
It’s the deadline to file signatures to run for mayor or city council. You still have a few hours…get to it! Jim Nintzel over at the Weekly put together a summary who has filed and who has yet to file as of yesterday. My money (although R-Cubed does not endorse gambling on elections) is on [...]
