Four GOP candidates for Congress in Arizona's eighth, including frontrunner Randy Graf, have taken the extraordinary step of releasing a joint statement blasting Republican National Committee chair Ken Mehlman for breaking his vow to stay out of their race. The statement -- prompted by a recent RNC $122,000 ad buy for candidate Steve Huffman, who the RNC thinks is the only one who can win -- describes a meeting between the candidates and the RNC chair at which Mehlman supposedly promised to keep the national GOP out of the race: "Sadly, the promises that were made have been broken." Full statement here.

4. hmmm... I saw Randy Graf today, he came to an event I helped put on

for voter registration. Didn't talk to the guy at all though. I was busy doing some other things in and out etc.

I think the RNC is right, Huffman probably is the only one who could win a GE, but the candidate should be chosen by the GOP voters and not by Ken Mehlman. They should have stayed out of the race, especially if he made a promise. Mehlman is such a weasel though, I mean who the hell would ever believe that guy?
