Unsuccessful candidate for the Republican nomination in Supervisor District 1 Mike Hellon, quoted in the Tucson Weekly: If the sun comes up tomorrow, everything is good. If I don’t win I’ll be able to work on my golf game, which has been lacking. The thing about the sun coming up is cribbed from Henry Fountain [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
By the way folks, I didn’t wake up yesterday thinking I would be Daniel Patterson central. I’ve got other things to write about. Anyhow. The Weekly has a good rundown of this morning’s parliamentary manueverings. The piece was written by Hank Stephenson, the guy that first broke a lot of Patterson’s antics involving his wife [...]
I’m sure y’all have read that TUSD would not allow this year’s César Chávez march to kick off at Pueblo High School. I’ve been a participant in the march for more than a decade and this is the first time the start has been moved to another location. Apparently, they could only do the march [...]
That’s the video of Frank Antenori running a red light. Ever since earlier this week when it was released, Antenori has been apologetic, um, embarassed? No…he’s been angry that a public record was released to the press. And, according to the Capitol Times, his buddies are starting an investigation of how this public record was [...]

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 [...]

This is something that made it’s way on Friday from the Yellow Sheet, to Blog for Arizona to the Weekly’s Range blog: Still stewing over the Pearce recall, [Sen. Frank] Antenori told our reporter yesterday he’s meeting with Republican activists on Friday to plan revenge. The full item is at the pay-only Yellow Sheet, but [...]
