Democratic Diva

I’ll be joining Andrei Cherny to talk about being a Delegate to the Convention, then I’ll be staying on for a discussion with Greg Patterson (Espresso Pundit) about the election.   I’m especially nervous about the second part.  Greg is a former state legislator who is one of the preeminent conservative bloggers in Arizona.  I may not [...]

Poor fledgling little thing couldn’t quite get off the ground.   Looks like the rate of invalid signatures is so high that the lawsuit filed by the opposition probably won’t be necessary.   Here is the Feathered Bastard’s cheeky take on the situation:  http://blogs.phoenixnewtimes.com/bastard/2008/08/kysten_sinema_helping_to_kick.php Currently, the Maricopa County Recorder’s Office, which verifies the signatures for the Arizona [...]

I was down at the Pappas school to watch a press conference put on by 2 Democratic County supervisor candidates, Marilyn Fox and Joel Sinclaire.  They wanted to call attention to the money being wasted on closing the original school down and shifting the kids to a smaller, and less well-appointed charter school.  They characterized it as [...]
