Rodney Glassman visits Globe

Senate hopeful, Rodney Glassman, met with San Carlos Tribal Chairman Wensler Noise

He spent time with Globe’s Mayor, Fernando Shipley and Gila County Supervisor Shirley Dawson on Monday and made stops at Vida e Cafe in downtown Globe and in San Carlos where he met with Tribal Chairman, Wensler Noise.  Although the Rasmussen poll has McCain as the Senate choice with 54 percent to 33 percent for Glassman, with 8 percent undecided, he points to the couple he met outside of the coffeehouse who came up to talk to him.

You and I both know her apology will be coming soon, and will most likely contain the words ‘I was misunderstood’.

Kyl

Senator Kyl recently stated that Obama said “the problem” with border enforcement measures is that “if we secure the border then [Republicans] won’t have any reason to support comprehensive immigration reform.”  The White House denied any such thing was said. Kyl didn’t budge, at first, but is now saying that his words were taken out of context (dailykos.com).

Sad how often he is misquoted with his exact words. … Continue Reading
