POLITICO MAFIOSO: POLITICO MAFIOSO - THE WEEK IN REVIEW for W/E November 6, 2010

Last Tuesday's Midterm Election was a 'Tsunami" for Republicans across the country! 60+ seats in the US House (including the defeat of Liberals Harry Mitchell by David Schweikert & Ann Kirkpatrick by Dr. Paul Gosar), 6 seats in the US Senate, 11 Governorships, A Sweep of every major State office in AZ, & 680 seats in State Legislatures (including Super Majorities here in AZ).

Congratulations to all our winners!

Special Thanks to Ruth McClung (CD-7) & Jesse Kelly (CD-8) who ran in Districts tough on Republicans. These two Conservative Heroes did a wonderful job and just came up short. They WILL be heard of in AZ politics again in the near future.

Special Thanks also go to Sen. John McCain! He helped many Republican candidates in 2010. This note from the 'Yellow Sheet'

"It’s a view shared by political consultant Chris Baker, who ran Schweikert’s campaign. “The senior senator went above and beyond what anyone expected,” he said. “I don’t know if [the McCain campaign] is out there taking credit, but they should.” Similarly, McClung communications director Sam Stone said McCain was a crucial element in the near-miss at unseating Grijalva: “The amount of effort he put in personally was tremendous. He really, really opened a lot of doors for us. He stepped up as a leader for the Republican Party in Arizona in a way that no one has in a long time. It shows his remarkable character that he did what was right and didn’t listen to his critics in the party.”
