Tom Husband is a great man! I know him well. I worked with hi on a 501c3 he founded to fight the light rail debacle.

This is excellent news!

Tom is a fighter and a serious grassroots organizer.


Other news - Ron Paul and Fred Thompson in a statistical tie. Less than 1 point apart. :)

You are tenacious. But really, what makes this guy a Republican? If one supports him, fine. However, he is an extreme libertarian bordering on anarchism.

Maricopa County includes Mesa, AZ - also known as Little SLC.

“You are tenacious. But really, what makes this guy a Republican? If one supports him, fine. However, he is an extreme libertarian bordering on anarchism.”

Anyone who supports small government is an “anarchist” in today’s GOP.

So sad.

Oh, I had no idea. It’s those Mormons again! A very peculiar people.

Silly me, I did not know that their religion mattered and I did not know that this was a Mormon conspiracy.

Is Ann Coulter a Mormon? Is Rush Limbaugh a Mormon? Surely they must be as they support Mitt Romney.

AZ is winner take all and belongs to McCain.

Romney’s relentless accumulation of delegates will be from elsewhere.

Are you dumb enough to think that Romney will beat McCain in Arizona, in the REAL primary?

Note. Mitt Romney has bought and paid for numerous staw polls. Odds are this one was bought too.

Rush hasn’t supported anyone.

Mann Coulter is a loudmouth moron, who cares what she thinks?

FR bows and worships at the altar of Ann Coulter...until she supports a Mormon, then she's a liberal hack.

Oh wait never mind. You’re a Paulanista. Now I understand. Carry on nothing new from the Paul crowd.

Other than the 17% and change showing in the straw poll, that is!
