Once again Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon rates front page treatment as the daily Fish-wrapper soft soaps Hizzoner.
The article titled, Phil Gordon’s trying times (Mysteriously renamed Gordon wrestles with growth, immigration in the online version.) The third time, it is often said, is the charm. Reporter Casey Newton should have gone for: Phil Gordon steps in it again.
Here’s an excerpt: Friends say Gordon would like eventually to become governor. To get there, he needs a record he can run on - and the successes of his first term alone might not be enough. The last Phoenix mayor to be elected governor was conservative Republican radio personality and author, Jack Williams in 1966. He served three terms.
If he doesn’t seek higher office, though, he will be an anomaly. His three immediate predecessors to be elected mayor - Terry Goddard, Paul Johnson and Anton “Skip” Rimsza—have sought statewide office. Goddard and Johnson each ran for governor twice before and lost. Goddard is expected to run again in 2010.

Goldberg reminds us of the Arizona candidate who wanted to tie voting to the lottery, to encourage more participation in the process by the uninformed and disinterested.

Today’s Wall Street Journal carries a thought-provoking and highly recommended column by Pat Toomey.
His personal knowledge of this topic provides insights others surely lack During his own 2004 senatorial bid in Pennsylvania’s Republican primary, Senator Rick Santorum (R. PA), with more than a bit of help from President Bush, derailed principled conservative Toomey’s campaign in favor of the liberal Democrat, Arlen Specter.
For his betrayal, Santorum paid the ultimate political price, losing to Democrat Bob Casey, Jr., the first Democrat elected to a full term in the Pennsylvania senate since 1962.
Toomey is a former Pennsylvania Republican congressman and current president of the Club for Growth.
