Wonders Never Ceasing
I have just received a nice phone call from my Congressman, Republican Jim Kolbe, urging me to apply to vote by mail. It was a recorded message, but I still appreciated the thought…and I think the thought is "Randy Graf scares the stuffing out of me!" It was a recorded message, but it’s the thought that counts.
The usually well-oiled Republican machine seems to be squeaking a lot lately: I’m a registered Democrat and a precinct committeeman. How likely am I to vote in the Republican primary.
Graf, of course is the ultra-con Republican who has launched a primary campaign against Kolbe. It’s the first serious challenge Kolbe has had in any election since former mayor Tom Volgy ran at him in the general election some years ago.
And have I missed it or have our local papers not noticed that Graf put up a slew of campaign posters way before he was legally entitled? Tacky little notices urging independents to vote for him in the primary and suggesting that Democrats should re-register as independents and vote for Graf.
Might not have been a bad idea. Graf would have been easier for the Democrats to defeat in November.
