Robert Graham Announces for Governor

 I’ll admit, I didn’t see this announcement coming but Phoenix Business Journal has the story.

As someone who has been involved in Republican Party politics for twenty years, I’ve never heard of him nor seen him at any party meetings. I’m going to throw this one open to whoever wants to comment on Mr. Graham.

We should expect more of these announcements as Governor Brewer continues for a sales tax hike in a struggling economy. But as I speculated earlier, I don’t believe Governor Brewer will officially run for Governor in 2010.

Robert Graham’s website is GrahamforGovernor.com.

(And does this guy look like Sean Astin or what?)

Bring your video cameras and we’ll see you there!

Shadegg’s Town Hall – Civilized Participation

In all the excitement of this last weekend, I almost forgot to post video footage of Congressman John Shadegg’s meeting. What was remarkable is that many of the same people who were at the protest at Harry Mitchell were in attendance at John Shadegg’s town hall and they were very civilized – no angry mob with pitchforks and torches. Yes, there was one citizen who advocated for a single-payer system but he was treated with respect and not beaten up.
