Targetting Russell Pearce

The Tribune is covering all of the latest developments in the District 18 Senate race, including this YouTube that was launched by a firefighter group blasting Pearce for speaking out against other Republicans including Kevin Gibbons' "respected" brother-in-law. In the story, the president of the firefighters criticizes Pearce for his treatment of other Republicans. I didn't know that unions really weighed in on internal party struggles.




Sonoran Alliance has covered the video as well, and the story has a heated comment section with groups basically lining up for an against Pearce. No real word from the detractors on how they feel about Gibbons beyond the fact that he is not-Pearce. Interestingly the same group of firefighters are responsible for the Pro-Gibbons signs that were mentioned earlier in the week and some pro-Hershberger signs that popped up in Southern Arizona.

Looks like they must have gotten a good deal on Yellow floresent ink. Claiming border protection by an incumbent with a spotty history on illegal immigration and newcomer who happens to be an illegal immigration lawyer seems to create a bit of a credibility gap.
