Theater criticism and pearl clutching in the Republic’s CD1 endorsement
Oh my stars and garters! Kirkpatrick has always seemed the even-tempered embodiment of rural Arizona, someone who lived the life and talked the talk. So, it was jarring to see her unbounded contempt for opponent Jonathan Paton. She accused him of dissembling and pandering, attacks that executed with finesse would have been acceptable in a [...]
Obama did just fine in that debate
Granted, I watched the debate at a bar with a group of Democrats so it was a biased crowd but I and many of my viewing companions did not see this Obama debacle that so many others did. I was live tweeting it, and from all the blubbering and moaning I was seeing online you [...]
Things I learned at a mixer this evening
It was put on by the AZ Hispanic Chamber and Arizona Latino Research enterprise (ALRE). 1.

Jan Brewer won’t do another debate with Terry Goddard and she refuses interviews with unfriendly reporters. Ben Quayle has yet to agree to a debate with his CD3 opponent Jon Hulburd and is shying away from the press. Ditto Paul Gosar of CD1 and Jesse Kelly of CD8. State Senate candidate (LD17) Wendy Rogers was [...]
Brahm Resnik can’t quit me! I’m on Sunday Square Off again this week. Plus, a Jailbreak Jan related action item.
I’m on the panel with Greg Patterson and Stan Barnes. Yeah, I know, 2 against 1, but it’s mostly about the GOP primaries since so many of them are trainwrecks. As a voter in CD3, I know I’m going to miss the 10 candidate clown car that is the Republican slate. I’m rooting for Brock [...]
Phoenix City Council (District 6) Debate
The Phoenix City Council District 6 candidates debate at the Biltmore tonight (6:30pm). I’ll send periodic updates through Twitter, so follow DemocraticDiva to get updates as I tweet them. I’m not as pithy or sarcastic as Donna, but I’ll do my best to entertain. Disclaimer: I support Dana Kennedy but will be as unbiased as [...]
I’ll be on Channel 12 in the morning.
Providing my take of the debate between 5:30 and 6:30 am. Which means I have to get up at horrible o’clock in the morning. I don’t know about y’all, but I’m pretty frosted about that dismissal of “women’s health” by McCain.
