Ben Quayle Reveals The Real Ben Quayle
Anybody who's aware of the serpentine side of politics knew when congressional candidate Vernon Parker retained public relations mercenary Jason Rose that his campaign would get vicious. That's what candidates expect when they hire a snake.
And Parker, the former mayor of Paradise Valley, has been getting what he asked for the past two weeks.
Ben Quayle, thought to be the frontrunner in the crowded CD-3 race, is the victim of the Parker-Rose venom. The 33-year-old son of Dan and Marilyn Quayle looks like he was raised to be more comfortable at a prep school cricket match than on a public school playground. The candidate is an oddball.

Jan Brewer Is "Acting" Like A Real Governor
For candidates to succeed in this charged political climate, it helps if they're actors. And nobody understands that better than Governor Jan Brewer. Not even the Clown Prince of AZ Politics, J.D. Hayworth, can compete with her.
If there were an award for the best actor in a leading political role, Governor Brewer would win walking away.
When Brewer ascended into the governor's office after serving as secretary of state, there was concern about her capabilities for governing. However, the one thing that was never in question was her reputation as a combative campaigner. During her first year in office she went through the motions as governor as she got her political footing. It was when she declared her candidacy for governor that she shifted into her campaign mode ... her take-no-prisoners mentality. Read More...
