Jim and Jon: We’ve got debates!

  • Jim & Jon ShowDebates at last: Sunday in Phoenix, 10/18 in Tucson, 10/20 in Flagstaff. [AZFamily]
  • The East Valley Tribune has in-depth profiles of both Jon Kyl (“the anti-J.D. Hayworth”) and Jim Pederson (“the confidence and authority of a football coach”). Good stuff.
  • Pederson seriously torques off Kyl camp, dismissing his “Top 10 Senator” desigation in Time magazine with this remark: “A couple of years ago, as you recall, Time Magazine designated Osama bin Laden as Man of the Year. That doesn’t necessarily mean that he’s a good guy.”
  • “[I]t would take a 1974 style landslide for Pederson to actually win, and few see anything like that happening. [Free Republic]
  • Kyl is endorsed by the Arizona Police Association, Yavapai leaders.
  • On 10th year anniversary of welfare reform, Kyl ruminates on GOP-led progress.

    Whenever the Kyle camp uses the top 10 senator claim, all one has to point out is that Ted Kennedy was also one of the top 10. Ask if that would that be a reason for them to vote for Teddy if they were residents of his state of MA?

    Sorry, that is “Kyl” not “Kyle.” Force of habit, since I know a Kyle (with an “e”).
