First, the national stuff -
2008 Presidential race comings and goings:
...Bill Frist(R) is out. (SitNews.us in Alaska)
...Tom Vilsack(D) is in. (AZ Rep)
...Evan Bayh(D) is almost in. (IndyChannel.com)
...John McCain(R) isn't "officially" in yet, but he's trying to rain on the parade of his biggest rival for the Rep nomination, Mitt Romney, by showing up at the meeting of the Republican Governors Association. (International Herald Tribune)
An organization currently headed up by Governor Romney.
It seems that McCain isn't going for subtlety. :)
...Mitt Romney(R), who isn't officially in yet, is headed to Asia after the RGA meeting. (Boston Globe)
The purpose of the trip is to increase his experience in foreign affairs.
Well, it could also be timed to avoid questions about why the strongly anti-illegal immigration governor of Massachusetts hired illegal immigrants to do his landscaping and lawn care. (Boston Globe)
...Barack Obama(D) brought his tease of the electorate/book tour to the Tonight Show last night. (NCTimes.com - California)
AZ stuff -
...Democratic LD17 Reps-elect David Schapira and Ed Ableser were featured in a great front-page article in the East Valley Trib on Friday.
...On Thursday, State Treasurer David Petersen joined the long list of Arizona office-holders that have left office in disgrace before his term was over. (AZ Star)
Anybody want to start a "Dean Martin Indictment Date Pool"?
Local stuff -
...The EV Trib has finally noticed Scottsdale's plans to ban and/or restrict political signs in an article about next week's open houses. According to the article, City Council member (and LD8 Republican PC and State Committeeman) Ron McCullagh gets the credit/blame for this one.
Have a great weekend!
