the topics are the same; James v. Pullen or as some see it, right leaning republicans v. moderate to left leaning republicans.

Lisa James’s husband has business interests with the re-election of McCain as Az Senator. McCain has interests in a Guest Worker/Amnesty Program. Nathan Sproul has interests in a paid position as State Party Executive Director (since he can’t seem to win any elections).

So, why can she do for the party now, what she didn’t do for the party then?

Are the Republican losses of 06 and 08 due to poor packaging and branding, or are they due to a less than quality product inside the box to begin with?

Example: A large majority of voters nationwide wanted their borders secure and made a lot of noise about it. What were the leading Senators from Arizona doing to respond to the wishes of the voters?

As one Arizona state “R” legislator put it a couple of years ago, ‘…we need all the imported labor we can get to keep the state’s economy going’. The burger king still believes that the state’s economic slump is due to the loss of undocumented workers!!

I ask you, is that consistant with what the voters want to find in the package labeled “R”?

That is only one example. The product inside the “Republican” box must be in line with the product the consumer is wanting to buy (at the polls).

Lisa James is excellent at the marketing of the “R” brand – but its what’s inside the box the consumers are concerned about.

Here’s my bottom line for you to consider:
After Pullen won the chairmanship in 2006, where was Lisa James in the fight to raise funds, register new Republicans and all the things she’s promising today???

So, why can she do for the party now, what she didn’t do for the party then?

I hope the editors put this question out to their readership and perhaps some of the other blogs within the Republican community pick it up.

We can change the label and packaging all we want to, but if the product (think Newt Gingrich) in the box remains the same, when the consumer is interested in (for example) Sarah Palin, then we’re wasing our time and will contiue to deserve to loose elections. (As Nathan Sproul is so very good at doing)… sorry, couldn’t resist.

Hi Iris

There is an excellent interview with Haley Barbour today in the WSJ on the topic.

We are on the verge of having an out an out war down here with even more citizens being killed as a direct result of the drug trade. As for Sheriff Joe, you need to discover ALL that he has done and not rely solely on the unfair and unbalanced press.

You also need to understand what a Sheriff’s responsibilities are. Your remark illustrates an ignorance of the power of the Sheriff which is over and above any police Department and even the Feds, but to you seems to bring forth glimpses of old westerns shooting it out on dusty streets.

As a former 45 year Arizonana, I have never been so embarrassed about the politicking over the border issue, and political issue this has become when the solution is right there, but Arizonans still believe the campaign promises and rhetoric instead.

The industries which support the Republican candidates want them there, and those candidates will serve their masters, not the Arizona citizens, so are you all still in delusion, or has the desert heat resulted in mass mental disturbances?

We’re all pullin’ for Pullen.

Arizona Republicans do not want a Democrat light State Chairman.
Oo-rah!
