Pinch me!! New poll shows Goddard within 3 points of.....

[jillan]

IF the Latino community comes out to vote, Goddard just might win this! This poll is of registered voters...not most likely voters.

Deep breaths, trying not to get too excited....

2. pinch!

You're awake!

3. So are any of the newspapers following up on the health rumors

re: Brewer?

[jillan]

4. Something is going to come out about this.

I don't know if you heard the story - but for those who haven't....

The person who I wanted to win the nomination for Senate v McCain was an investigative journalist. He exposed the Keating 5, and did an expose' on what is going on in the offices of Sheriff Joe. His name is John Dougherty. On his fb page last week his status was that there have been reports that Brewer has major health problems, ones that could keep her from completing a 4 year term....but he won't say much more than that...other than to hint that it may come out the week before the election. Who knows what it is?!?!

14. AZ Republic has a story on their website.

Take it with a large grain of salt. The paper supports her for Governor. :puke:

Brewer denies rumors of serious illness

Gov. Jan Brewer said Tuesday that health concerns will not prevent her from serving another term in office, denying anonymous reports that she is gravely ill.

"Before committing to seek election, I had a complete checkup with my doctors and confirmed there is nothing to prevent me from holding office for four more years," Brewer said in a statement. "I want to assure everyone that my health is fine."

5. I was going to recommend your thread. But, the ss garb is a bit too much for me.

Anyway, best wishes for Goddard!

7. Actually - a fellow DUer designed that right when SB1070 passed - and have cherished it ever since.

8. I didn't unrec the thread. But, I'm Jewish and I don't like it. I agree with Jon Stewart.

We don't need to run around calling each other hitler.

[jillan]

9. I'm Jewish too, and yes usually things like that offend me, alot..but for whatever reason

it just seems to fit with her 'papers please' meme. I totally understand where you are coming from.

6. As female politicians go ... she is very creepy.

10. Holy SHIT! And I was a little down that a recent poll showed Glassman 20 points

behind McFucktard... this has perked me up substantially! My ex-wife used to be an optician and saw Terry Goddard twice a year... she said he couldn't have been a nicer guy every time (and she'd say that BEFORE she found out he was one of the Good Guys, haha). And she worked at a little local private doctor. Very cool... GO GODDARD!!!

[jillan]

11. Glassman doesn't act like someone who wants to win - and it's pissing me off.

Of all the races this year, you would think defeating McCain would've been easy - NO one likes him anymore.
That said - I'll be making phone calls for him tomorrow - it's really more of GOTV. I met Rodney last week in Tucson at a rally.
My new nickname for him is Assman. He gives a great speech, but when I went to talk to him I was not impressed...at all. Just another big ego.

That's a great story about Goddard. He seems like such a decent man - like someone who is in politics because he cares.

12. Terry and Monica Goddard are two of the nicest people on the planet

Terry deserves to win. There is no more dedicated and honest politician in the nation. Please go to his website Terrygoddard.com and download phone lists. He CAN win this but we need to make an effort.

13. The veto power of a Democratic Governor

is the only thing that will keep the kooky state legislature in line. In my opinion this is the most important race in the state. Go Terry!
