A draft congressional map proposed by a Democratic member of Arizona’s redistricting commission would put at least two Republican incumbents and possibly two other Republican U.S. House candidates in the same district.
The commission legally cannot consider addresses of incumbents or candidates, and Democratic Commissioner Linda McNulty has said her map was drawn to make another district competitive between the two parties.
Approached during a break in the meeting, McNulty declined to comment when asked by The Associated Press about the placement of Republican incumbents and candidates in the same district.
The district includes parts of at least six municipalities as it stretches across much of the Phoenix area.

Last week a secret meeting of the world’s nine economic super powers met in San Francisco. The meetings discussed the current policies of each nation and their plans for the future in the wake of the Global Turn-Off. (In California that means Recession, “the Big R word,” Got it, Dude? Wow!!!)
As one of the planned closing events of the meeting, the nine leaders met at North Beach. The event: The Economic Leaders Swim to Alcatraz. It was a nice sunny day for San Francisco, about 65 degrees. Mark Twain said, “The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco.” In San Francisco, 65 degrees is considered a heat wave. What could they possibly know about Global Warming?
Stephen Chucri, longtime president and chief executive of the Arizona Restaurant Association, has announced his candidacy for the East Valley’s District 2 seat on the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors.
That seat has long been held by Supervisor Don Stapley, whose political career was battered in recent years by failed prosecutions pursued by Sheriff Joe Arpaio and former County Attorney Andrew Thomas.
Following Chucri’s announcement, Stapley definitively told The Arizona Republic that he is running for re-election in 2012.
Chucri notified Stapley on Thursday morning of his intention to run for the seat. Both men are Republicans.
Chucri, a 41-year-old Mesa father of two sons, filed his statement of organization with the county’s Elections Department shortly before telling Stapley.

Twin girls, former beauty queen later return to Mexico
Emma Coronel, the 22-year-old wife of Joaquin Guzman, crossed the border in mid-July and delivered her daughters at Antelope Valley Hospital in Lancaster on Aug. 15, the Los Angeles Times reported on its website Monday.
Coronel, a former beauty queen who holds U.S. citizenship, returned to Mexico after they were born. Because they were born in the U.S., her children also qualify for American citizenship.
Birth certificates listed Coronel as the mother of the girls, but the spaces for the father’s name are blank. U.S. law enforcement officials, who tracked her movements even before she traveled to Lancaster, told the Times that Coronel was not arrested because there are no charges against her.

“Mystery” candidate Olivia Cortes breaks silence breaks silence
Vice President Biden: “There’s a lot of people in Florida that have good reason to be upset because they’ve lost jobs. Even though 50 some percent of the American people think the economy tanked because of the last administration, that’s not relevant. What’s relevant is we’re in charge. And right now we are the one’s in charge and it’s gotten better but it hasn’t gotten good enough. And in states like Florida, it’s even been more stagnant because of the real estate market. And so I don’t blame them for being mad. We’re in charge.”(WLRN/Miami Herald News, 9/28/11)

Shill moderates forum scheduled to preclude working people
Arizona State Senate President Russell Pearce (R-Dist.18) and his recruited challenger Jerry Lewis are scheduled to debate October 6 at a public forum presented by the Mesa Chamber of Commerce. The Valley Chambers are notorious for promoting an easily exploitable, low-wage illicit workforce favored by illegal alien profiteers.
With a 5:00 p.m. start time, the audience will likely be stacked with imported attendees who don’t have to work for a living.
Although tickets are required for admission, they are available at no charge. The event will be held at the Jack E. Shell Auditorium of the East Valley Institute of Technology 1601 W. Main Street, Mesa. Approximately 500 tickets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis with priority given to LD 18 voters. Ticket requests can be made via email at forum@mesachamber.org or phone at (480) 969-1307, Ext. 16.
A public broadcast and webcast of the forum will be made available via the Tribune at EastValleyTribune.com.
Sen. Russell Pearce, a patriot who has devoted his life to public service, was the architect of the nationally copied SB 1070. He is the subject of a recall being instigated by the open borders/amnesty crowd. Jerry Lewis is a recruited candidate, not unlike sham candidate Kevin Gibbons, Jeff Flake’s recruited immigration lawyer brother-in-law, who lost his challenge to then-Rep. Pearce during the 2008 election.
The not difficult to miss facts of this event are that the forum is scheduled at a time when working people will not be able to attend and the moderator is named Shill.
