Arizona Capitol Times Election Coverage Your Inside Track to Arizona Elections

After the CD3 race was thrust into the national spotlight, largely because of a blog on the Arizona Capitol Times website, the Quayle campaign replaced its press contact.

Quelland is claiming to have endorsements from people and advocacy groups who are, in fact, endorsing his opponents in the LD10 House race. In fact, of the seven endorsements listed on his website, only one - U.S. Rep. Trent Franks - confirmed to Yellow Sheet the endorsement was valid.

Steve Moak said Dan Quayle tried to talk him out of the CD3 race, presumably to clear the path for Quayle's son, Ben. Moak told our reporter that Quayle made the request over breakfast at a Scottsdale resort earlier this year, and even encouraged him to run for something a little lower down the totem pole.

Gorman's campaign in the crowded CD3 race is invisible no longer after she has gained national attention for a 43-second Web campaign video that shows her firing several guns, including an automatic rifle.

One of the more interesting topics on which Horne and Thomas clashed was the education of illegal immigrant children. The issue was one of the few times in the debate where the two candidates showcased their legal chops.
