Here's Haney's Response

If you are following the District 11 election, you will want to check out Rob Haney's comment on the Symington interview.  I've coppied it here.

There is no requirement in State, County, or District meetings to place a resolution on a pre-meeting Agenda. The fact is that resolutions are regularly introduce without prior notice. There absolutely was a quorum, but no one even asked about one until the following month's meeting. It is not the responsibility of PCs to blindly follow an arrogant politician who disses the Platform and the Constitution.

Greg, time for some "straight talk express". That was a pathetic interview you posted with Fife. When Fife stated that he was running because we lost a legislative seat, did it ever dawn on you that Fife
entered his name for Chairman on October 26. Hesselbrock didn't lose until Nov 7. Fife attending meetings? Not in Dist 11, nor in Dist 8. Nor have Fife's top two running mates attended any meetings. The 9 Republican PCs for Janet elected in Dist 11 are all directly linked
to McCain. Embarrass McCain? Hardly. Just trying to give voice to the grass root Republicans who are outraged over McCain's representation. I could go on indefinitely, but I know where you stand ever since you squelched the story on the scandle ridden Dist 20 election. Thomas, Schweikert, et al.
burried that one deep. This election is all about shutting down all opposition to McCain's presidential run. You know it,I know it,and so does everyone else. Say here's one Greg, why don't you look into who authorized the $10,000 donation from the Arizona Republican Party to the Groscost family. Doesn't pass the smell test with me, but looking into that one may offend some of your close associates, so better not.

Also, hotazitgets has posted a letter in support of Symington's candidacy signed by Kyl, Shadegg, Flake, Renzi, Horne, Thomas, Tully, Pierce, Waring and Knaperek.

Hmm. . . Fife has the support of both Jeff Flake and John McCain. Well, I guess that makes this part of the consideration a wash.

Even if we accept that Fife was treated unfairly, bringing him - or at least his name as he wouldn't actually be presiding over very many meetings - bringing him back into AZ politics would be seen by those outside of the party base as "business as usual" and would not be a plus for the overall efforts at making Arizona a conservative state.

An addendum to my first comment:

It is likely that, since Flake is endorsing the same candidate as McCain, that is, the conservative is endorsing the same candidate as the "party" man, then I'm assuming that it doesn't really matter who gets the nod. Perhaps Flake sees Haney as just another cog in the party wheel and doesn't expect much from him one way or another.

Which still makes it wash if one is relying on personal recommendations to form their opinions on this. Which brings it back to how this would be viewed from outside the party base, which would give the nod to Haney.

Here's a new slogan for LD 11 -

"Rob Haney: Causing Republicans to lose elections since 2002, as Attorney General Andrew Thomas, Mayor Randy Pullen, Representative Don Hesselbrock and Governor Len Munsil can all attest."

Haney was elected after the 2002 election, precisely because of those losses.
