A month ago, it looked like the District 9 races would be snoozers. Rep. Steve Farley was set to run against former Rep. Dave Bradley for state senate might provide a hint of excitement, but the house race only consisted of two declared candidates for two seats: 2010 candidate Mohur Sidhwa and former KOLD reporter [...]

Richard Carmona’s campaign has announced that the entire Tucson City Council has endorsed him. And by that they mean six council members, even Republican Steve Kozachik. Here is Kozachik from the release: I know Dr. Carmona as a man of integrity, a high achiever, a man of compassion for the underserved and a man who [...]

After the jump is today’s press release from the Richard Carmona campaign announcing an endorsement from Former US Senator Dennis DeConcini. Carmona’s operation is being tight lipped about other endorsers, but expect more announcements soon. Tucson City Councilmember Paul Cunningham has been talking Carmona up. Also expect one soon from Councilmember Richard Fimbres and Sheriff [...]

AZPM did an “ad watch” on Jennifer Rawson’s current allegations against Paul Cunningham. Surprise, surprise, they found out that the claims are shaky at best. And one part is made up entirely: It says, “But because of the City Council there might not be anyone on the other end.” That quote is attributed to the [...]

I haven’t yet seen Jennifer Rawson’s tissue-of-lies ads against Paul Cunningham, but given recent poll results, I imagine that they look and sound an awful lot like desperation. In case you are curious: these ads, along with ones for Rick Grinnell and Tyler Vogt, were put together by Stevens Reed Curcio & Potholm, the folks [...]
This week, the local Democratic Party, who apparently didn’t get the memo that writing in a mocking tone is my department, sent out a press release bragging that not only has the entire Democratic slate filed (unless you count the unendorsed Joe Flores and whackjob Marshall Home), but that no Republican has. Local Republican flack [...]

There are a few changes in the line-ups for this year’s council races. Carolyn Classen reported this weekend that there is a Republican now filed in Ward 2: Jennifer Rawson. She plans to make the official announcement on Thursday in front of the Ward 2 council office. This is the description of herself from Classen’s [...]
I’ve been amused by the handwringing over the Democratic Party’s endorsement of Regina Romero, Paul Cunningham and Shirley Scott. Apparently, we are supposed to be shocked that the a party establishment has lined up to protect its incumbents. Shocking. This brings up the drawback to being the candidate that takes on the establishment: the establishment [...]

I’m thinking of starting a rumor that Bill Richardson stepped aside to make room for Raúl Grijalva in the cabinet. Who’s with me? I recieved a missive from a highly placed Arizona Democrat: This fact seems relevant – Paul [Cunningham] is right. [Bruce] Babbitt was born while his Dad was on an extended trip to [...]
