Simcox Challenging McCain

0

According to the Arizona Capitol Times, Chris Simcox will be announcing that his candidacy against John McCain tomorrow.

Once again, we’ll get to hear how McCain is some sort of leftist sell-out, a charge easilly disputed by a quick perusal of his record. People can delude themselves into all sorts of things, ‘specially when they want to be in public office.

Simcox has already hired a campaign manager and has promised that he can raise between $10 and $15 million. He may want to get started on that: McCain has $3.6 million in cash on hand, which is low until you consider that he hasn’t gone full bore on the fundraising yet.

Simcox also has on his team a fellow named Eric Johnson, who I am assured is not the very respected Austin-based guitarist. Johnson worked on Don Goldwater’s bid for governor in 2006. We’ll see if Johnson learned anything from that campaign: Goldwater lost a primary on a similar “tough on immigration” platform against a much lesser known opponent than McCain.

A bit from his web page:

If you are tired of elitist, self-funded career politicians, maybe it’s time to hire a representative who will work to actually represent the people of Arizona that he serves.

A cruel thrust. To be fair to McCain, he isn’t “self-funded.” That’s his wife’s money.

There’s a lot of fun I can have with his web page over the next few days. Give me some time. But one last thing: is it just me or does the “Tough on Border Security” pic remind you of Travis Junior?
