“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

Arizona Dems outraising their foes

Hopefully this will translate into big wins next year:
Democrats could also be on strong financial footing in next year's election and top party strategists have set ambitious fundraising goals for 2006.

Third quarter fundraising totals filed with the federal government show the Arizona Democratic Party raising just under $1.3 million versus $709,000 for the state Republican Party.

Party filings with the Federal Election Commission show the state Democratic Party with more than $530,000 on hand, compared to only $171,000 for the Arizona GOP.

The two sides will report further fundraising numbers to the Arizona Secretary of State's office later this year.

Remember that Democratic Senate challenger Jim Pederson almost matched Incumbent Republican Jon Kyl's quarterly fundraising in two weeks.

It seems to be a good time to be a Democrat in Arizona.
