Liberal study finds comedy show viewers better informed than FOX News watchers
Well wouldn’t you know? A study conducted by Fairleigh Dickinson University’s PublicMind has concluded that FOX News viewers are less knowledgeable on political issues than people who only listened to leftwing NPR, watched the alphabet network biased Sunday morning talk shows or the supposedly comedic “Jon Stewart‘s The Daily Show” — all with a reliable leftward slant.
The Los Angeles Times is reporting that a new, "pro-Latino" SuperPAC is airing a new anti-Romney TV ad in Phoenix, Tucson and Yuma markets. "PAC+" has posted the new ad, slamming Romney on immigration policy, on YouTube, but has not yet filed a spending report with the Federal Election Commission ("FEC"). It uses Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and Arizona Governor Jan Brewer to get viewers' attention.

The SuperPAC is a newcomer to the scene - having just...
When the topic is protecting liberty and the headline reads, “Even in Illinois but not in Arizona,” we’re in trouble. Indeed, while even the Democrat-controlled legislature in President Obama’s adopted home state of Illinois said no to establishing an insurance exchange to facilitate the federal health care law, Arizona is moving full steam ahead with its exchange and is using more than $30 million in federal tax dollars to do so.
a "toss-up" state in the 2012 presidential contest, and important in the electoral college math for the Republicans. Traditionally, that might indicate that the nominee might look to that state's politicians for a possible VP running mate. Not this year.
Carmona, a former Independent turned Obama Democrat, has had various issues in the past with anger management. From a July 2002 article:
Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee Chairman Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., planned to question Carmona on several of the issues that have been raised, said Jim Manley, Kennedy's s...
American Crossroads is headed by big-name Republican operatives Karl Rove and Ed Gillespie, and has been funded by big-money contributions. The mailer, which was paid for on Monday and late-filed/disclosed with the FEC yesterday, is probably hitting mailboxes in southern Arizona about now. (If you have a copy of it, please e-mail it to Arizona's Politics at the address below.)
Outside groups have already spent heavily on both sides of this special election, and several more "Following...
D.C. protesters knocking on Rep. Franks' office door
A week after Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ) held Congressional hearings on a bill that would prevent doctors in D.C. from performing abortions after 20 weeks, protesters descended on the Arizona Congressman’s office — who represents a district 2,300 miles and two time zones away from the nation’s capital — to ask “Mayor Franks” to fix pressing local concerns like pot holes, broken street lights and traf...
My name is Bob Worsley. You may know me as the founder of SkyMall, the in-flight magazine. I'm a conservative Republican running for the newly created Senate District 25 seat in the heart of Mesa.
I'm running for the open Senate District 25 seat against Russell Pearce because I want to use my business experience to find common sense solutions to the state's problems, to strengthen our local economy, and to create an environment that will lead to job creation.
Rep. Trent Franks is Arizona's most embarrassing congessman by far, he just doesn't get the kind of media attention the others do.
Last week Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ) held Congressional hearings on a bill that would prevent doctors in D.C. from performing abortions after 20 weeks (the bill the Arizona legislature recently enacted into law served as a model and cover for Frank's hearing). Franks prevented Delegate Eleanor Norton (D) — D.C.’s only congressional represent...
"Many observers have blamed this rash of birther “investigations” in Arizona on career politicians pandering to the extremes. They posit that it must be helping these guys get elected, because why else would they do it?
But here’s the thing: all this birther stuff is doing is...
U.S. Senate candidate Jeff Flake has done another politically adroit about-face. This latest one is on the issue of tougher sanctions against Iran. Throughout his six terms, Flake had been a staunch opponent of sanctions, repeatedly voting against such penalties on Iran, Cuba and other rogue nations. Flake reveled in his prominence among a handful of members of Congress to oppose such actions.
But since declaring a senate bid he’s flipped on his long-held p...
Wearing flip-flops, grass skirts and Hawaiian leis, with surfboards in tow and the pungent odor of sunscreen trailing behind them, around 15-to-20 members of Citizens for a Better Arizona stormed...

Delegation Aims to Expand Opportunities for Arizona Business Development and Tourism
PHOENIX – Governor Jan Brewer today will lead a trade delegation to Europe, with a focus on expanding business investment, tourism and job growth in Arizona.
The delegation – including the Governor and leaders with the Arizona Commerce Authority and Arizona Office of Tourism – will meet with heads of industry and government in the critical trade destinations of Germany and France. In 2011, Germany was Arizo...
The Congressional District 8 (CD8) special election debate on Wednesday night was the most boring debate I have ever heard.
High school graduate Jesse Kelly repeated the Teapublican talking points faithfully-- guns, God, guv'ment-- but he forgot the gay part of their message. Former Gabrielle Giffords aid Ron Barber revealed himself as a true Blue Dog (AKA Republican-lite). And the Green Party's Charlie Manolakis did what any self-respecting third party candidate would d...
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
That’s the 2nd Amendment, and although it is in grave need of updating, is nevertheless a part of the Constitution. And the Supreme Court now says that the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that weapon for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defens...
