Becky Pallack has a story in this morning’s Star about national Republicans throwing in the towel on the CD 3 race. I’m always struck that people are shocked about how resilient Raúl Grijalva is. The Republicans had their best shot at taking him down in 2010, when the national mood gave every Democrat a strong [...]

I first got wind of this earlier this week (because I talk to the wind, the wind cannot hear…) when someone pointed out to me that la Cervecera’s name had been scrubbed from Gabriela Saucedo Mercer’s website. I held off on writing about it to give Nick Martin a chance to do a story over [...]

The funniest part of Gabrielle Saucedo Mercer’s response to the kerfuffle over her racist comments in an interview she did for a far right website is her assertion that the video was doctored by Raúl Grijalva’s campaign. It’s funny because the video that’s circulating is the one that was posted by the publication that interviewed [...]

After the jump, Labor Day speeches from Raúl Grijalva, Ron Barber and Richard Elías. I was unable to record speeches from Richard Fimbres and Richard Carmona.
Jan Brewer accused Barack Obama of “race baiting” this morning and was angry about accusations of bigotry. Being accused by la Cervecera of race baiting is a bit like being accused by Randy Travis of public intoxication. Since her side is free of race baiting and bigotry, I’m sure she’d be more than happy to [...]
The opponents of Raúl Grijalva are once again engaging in their biannual tradition of convincing themselves that everyone hates Grijalva as much as they do. Grijalva does plenty to inspire neck veins popping and spittle flying opposition, but it’s amazing how these folks seem to be totally incompetent at actually organizing against the man. Before [...]
Raúl Grijalva speaks on his amendment to HR 4402 to protect recreational uses of public lands.
Haven’t they already repealed this like, I dunno, thirty times or so?
There’s been so much stuff to post lately; a few things have fallen through the cracks. I missed out on presenting y’all with Raúl Grijalva’s interview with Esquire magazine over the SB1070 decision. Spoiler alert: he expands on his assertion that la Cervecera is delusional. You can also catch the shorter version of his arguments [...]
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 [...]
