First off, any of you guys and gals realize that next week both Jan Brewer and Ken Bennett will be out of the state? Normally I’d be giving a hearty “hip hip hooray” for la Cervecera being out of office, even if it’s temporarily. This time, however, the feeling is tempered by the fact that [...]

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 [...]
Roll Call is reporting that Martha McSally campaign manager Sam Stone has resigned. This comes after allegations that Stone approached a Ron Barber aide with advice on how to beat Jesse Kelly.
Politico is running a story about Martha McSally henchman Sam Stone offering unsolicited advice to a staffer for Ron Barber’s campaign. The advice wasn’t exactly useful: that Barber was three points down, that the campaign needed to go after independents and Republican women and to campaign against Jesse Kelly on social issues. The trouble with [...]
As it turns out, Jesse Kelly won’t run for the full term after all. This from the Tucson Sentinel: “Looking at the results from Tuesday, we have decided to withdraw from the race for Congress in AZ-02 and to seek other opportunities,” Kelly said in the emailed statement. Martha McSally still has a primary opponent [...]
It looks like eight points for Ron Barber. Too big a margin for claims of illegal aliens being bussed in, I suppose. So, what next for Jesse Kelly? He’s going to announce his plans about staying in the race for the full term over the next few days. My bet is he stays in. Let’s [...]
I talked to a couple of pros about that poll that Public Policy Polling released. They came to the same conclusion: that the poll over sampled Democrats. Still, I think there is plenty of good news for Ron Barber. One is the cross tab that shows Barber keeping 90% of Democrats, and Jesse Kelly only [...]

Okay, Jesse Kelly won. Yep, he came tantalizingly close last time (at least for those who are tantalized by Jesse Kelly), but it’s a different election this time, and he already spent a lot of money (he’s down to less than $50,000 cash on hand in the last report). Ron Barber has spent hardly anything [...]
Yes, there is plenty to write about. For example: why did Mark Stegeman and Miggy Cuevas think going to a festival in Barrio Hollywood, a bastion of Chicano activism for decades, would be a good idea? Instead, I’m doing a poll on tomorrow’s results. I haven’t found a good way to do ranked voting, so [...]
R-Cubed’s crack intelligence division has acquired the handouts that Frank Antenori and his campaign distribute at meetings. The first is one of those resumes that candidates hand out. Pretty typical stuff. More interesting are the ones that compare Antenori to the other candidates. One is a comparison of Antenori to the other three candidates, and [...]
