Seasoned political operatives don’t just blurt things out.
Here’s what Chuck Coughlin’s own website says about him: A frequent contributor of opinion columns in Arizona and other national publications, Coughlin is an accomplished writer and speaker on national and Arizona political topics; including illegal immigration, campaign finance, infrastructure, education and campaign strategy. Coughlin was asked to serve by then-Secretary of State Jan Brewer [...]
Refusing to debate or answer questions is a sign of arrogance, not strength
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 [...]
Arizona Republic bashes unions on Labor Day weekend
Classy. I guess for the encore we can expect an editorial criticizing military benefits on Veterans Day. Today’s editorial was basically the Republic repeating Arizona GOP talking points about unions and Democrats. I suppose they didn’t want it to be too obvious so they added a lugubrious dose of concern trolling about low wage workers [...]
U.S. Chamber files brief in opposition to AZ employer sanctions law. Well, isn’t that special.
Today’s Yellow Sheet announced that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce filed a 71 page brief challenging the 2007 Legal Arizona Workers Act. The sanctions law has been upheld in appeals so far but the Low Taxes and Cheap Labor for the Rich Lobby Chamber really, really wants to get the law before the Supreme Court [...]
With all due respect to Terry, one debate was enough.
I don’t blame Terry Goddard for challenging Jan Brewer to a series of debates but I don’t see the point. If Brewer agreed to another debate it immediately sets up the IOKIYAR Lowered Expectations Mulligan. You know what I’m talking about: When a Republican faceplants in a debate, because he/she is a Republican everyone decides [...]
A concise synopsis of Gov. Jan Brewer’s performance at the Clean Elections Debate tonight.
“Lie, lie, lie, um, uhhhhh, I has did, SB1070, lie, lie, argle bargle, lie, we have did, tough road to hoe, Terry Terry Terry! Marcia Marcia Marcia! Lie, lie, SB1070, secure the border, they had did, lie, lie, urph…argh…%$&!*…” On edit: “There but for the grace of God, I have did.” QED
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 [...]
