Ron Paul Girls?

Am I the only one or has anyone else noticed the cadre of buxom women wearing tight Ron Paul t-shirts around town? Sunday, I couldn’t help notice one of these ladies sitting outside Chase Field making use of her assets to appeal to the male crowd as they entered the stadium. Then again this week while walking downtown during the lunch hour, another woman – this one different – strutting her stuff and wearing the graffitiesque Ron Paul slogan across her, well, you know.

 Is this the new strategy being employed by the Ron Paul campaign? Call it political foreplay or Hootering the political process, Paul may be following in the footsteps of the Obama Girls or Giuliani Girls.

Forget the sexy blonde posed in front of the newest foreign import. The latest marketing strategy is to appeal to the very visually-oriented sexual nature of men.

It works. After all, if sex can sell cars, power tools and alcoholic beverages, it just may sell political fringe candidates.

Steele visits Arizona.

     GOPAC Chairman Michael Steele visited Arizona on Thursday. He brought his positive and inspirational message of opportunity to the valley. In the morning and afternoon he went on Phoenix radio stations. Meetings were held in between with an early evening reception for major supporters of the Arizona Republican Party. Chairman Steele spoke about the goal of GOPAC, to develop and train legislative and local candidates and party activists.

     GOPAC and the Arizona Republican Party have already held a very successful candidate school in the Phoenix area. The state party and GOPAC are teaming up again for a Southern Arizona campaign school in late September. Thursday was one more example of Chairman Pullen and the staff at the state party focusing on training, outreach, and building up the party.

He gets paid for this?

     Here is Ernesto Portillo Jr.’s latest snore piece. I have seen bloggers put more effort (and substance) into their stories. I wonder for how much longer newspapers will exist with work like this. His stories are what need more hot sauce. A little substance would not hurt either.
