This article’s lede provides the head scratcher: Five juveniles are in custody in connection with a string of robberies, many of them taxi drivers, that have occurred in Phoenix in the past week to 10 days.
Are the taxi companies now hiring juvenile cabbies, or are the juveniles [...]
Well, my sources were correct and Ed Espinoza endorsed Senator Obama today. I think this is a good sign that the rest of what I was told is most likely accurate as well. Looks like his 15 minutes of fame now come to an end and the publicity [...]
To: Interested PartiesFirst, let us be clear about the nature of Senator
Obama's attack today: He used the words 'losing his bearings' intentionally, a
not particularly clever way of [...]
I was chagrined yesterday when I saw that after Barrack Obama had met with Gabrielle Giffords, Gifffords rzecznik C. J. Karamargin had given Greg Sargent the news that Giffords was, well, still officially uncommitted.

The attendees matched my anticipation, i.e., in general those who believe that elected officials should represent the people that elected them. Pima County Supervisor Ray Carroll and [...]
The GOP seems to have had hit another bump in the road.
One of Congress’ God-fearing family values guy, Congressman Vito Fossella, has expanded the definition of family values. Instead of one family, he thinks families are such good ideas he decided to have a second. Normally, however, one either gets [...]
OK, let me get this straight. Senator Barack Obama gets crucified (nice use of that verb) for the comments of his pastor Jeremiah Wright. After a month of turmoil, Obama denounces Wright. It appears that Obama has addressed this issue and is now moving on.
Senator John McCain, on the other [...]

McCain money man, Tempe-based developer Steve BettsFor the first time ever we have someone make both the winners and losers of the week list at the same time. Read why Harry Mitchell is a winner and a loser of the week.
[...]In a moment of masochism, I checked out Politico’s Superdelegate page. Here was something that struck me: American Samoa has six superdelegates; Arizona has eleven.
That’s right. Arizona has nearly 90 times as many people, but barely gets twice as many supers as American Samoa. American Samoa has about 67,000 [...]
