Arizona has always had its fair share of larger-than-life politicians. For years, the state has also been on the cutting edge of progressive politics, in selecting powerful women to hold its highest offices, in a traditionally male-dominated arena.

Majority Leader Richard A. Fontana said he is gauging whether there is support for him to replace veteran lawmaker David A. Franczyk as Common Council president in January. The development is viewed as a possible negotiating step toward creating a majority backing Mayor Byron W. Brown.
WASHINGTON -- One can always find instances of incivility in American politics to refute those who charge that hyper negativity in political discourse is a recent phenomenon including the anger and dislike among the founding fathers. I was an observer in the Senate more years ago than I would like to remember when Sen. Wayne Morse of Oregon called Sen.

Central to this debate will be $4.4 billion in unfunded pension obligations and the preservation of state jobs. Labor unions in Maine also fear the introduction of policy initiatives, such as so- called "right-to-work" legislation, will weaken their influence.
House Democratic Leader Steny H. Hoyer says that despite his party's massive losses in last month's congressional elections, history will prove the Democratic agenda is the correct path to lead the country out of its economic doldrums.

The newest African organizational mechanism designed to establish the underpinnings of sustainable economic growth, NEPAD promotes "peer review for good governance"; and includes programs, such as one in which African governments volunteer to have their peers review, analyze and grade the state of their governance.
The old problem of media bias persists despite the fact that America is a nation of eager news junkies who get their information fix from an array of "platforms," according to a wide-ranging survey and analysis released Monday by the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism. It's not just disgruntled Republicans who cite journalistic bias.
[...] they are just too few in number to make much of a difference. Since the mid- 1 950s, military-backed regimes and the majority of political movements and parties in Arab countries have pushed democracy to the margins of public life.
