BeeTraying Arizona’s Constitution
October 16, 2007
Does anyone honestly believe that Tim Bee needs $134K and growing to explore the idea of a running for Congress? Bee’s spin doctors are trying to sell the idea that his ‘exploration’ involves seeing if he can raise enough to be competitive with Gabby before he announces.

GOP planning to campaign again on immigrant issue
October 11, 2007
Link: GOP pressing immigrant issue. I didn’t realize that Republican strategists were actually pushing Congressional recommit votes on immigration-related language to paint Democrats as pro-immigrant.
