Gordon's support of McCain troubles Dems

Given their long friendship, it should come as little surprise that Mayor Phil Gordon would endorse Sen. John McCain in his bid for the presidency.

But Gordon's quiet endorsement of McCain has raised eyebrows in the blogosphere: Why would Gordon, a Democrat, endorse the Republican McCain?

Similar questions were raised when Gordon endorsed Republicans Andrew Thomas (for Maricopa County attorney) and Joe Arpaio (for county sheriff).

"One has to ask," Democrat Ted Prezelski wrote in his blog, Rum, Romanism and Rebellion, "does he have Democratic friends?"

Yes, Gordon said this week, pointing to his endorsements of Democrats, including Gov. Janet Napolitano, Rep. Harry Mitchell and former Senate candidate Jim Pedersen.

"I'm a proud Democrat," Gordon said. "I'm supporting the senator. I disagree with him on a number of issues. I support him on a number of issues. It has nothing to do with other candidates. This is a close personal friend for years."

1. Here's a letter to the Democratic Chair

To: David Waid
Chair, Arizona Democratic Party

David,

I understand that you stated at this week’s LD11 meeting that Democrats should give Phil Gordon a pass for his supporting a warmongering Republican for president. I understand that the war (or illegal occupation if you prefer) isn’t the only issue facing our nation, but it is the most important. Everyone with a brain knows that its cost in blood, treasure, and family sacrifice is hardly worth the alleged benefits, unless you are a war profiteer.

I have one question for you: Besides cronyism, what reasons does Phil Gordon give for endorsing Sen. McCain? I truly want to know, because if they’re good enough, maybe I’ll throw my support to McCain and other Republicans.
