Despite the fact that some folks from out of town are calling the congressional race in CD-9 for Democrat Kyrsten Sinema, it's certainly not over, and Republican Vernon Parker wouldn't need a miracle to win.

While Sinema's up by several thousand votes at the moment, there are thousands more to count, between provisional ballots and early-voting ballots dropped off at polls.

Despite the Arizona Department of Health Services reporting that the number of abortions increased about 26 percent from 2010 to 2011, the lobbying organization Center for Arizona Policy says the same numbers from DHS actually show a decrease in the number of abortions.

CAP president Cathi Herrod says comparing the number of abortions performed in 2010 to the number in 2011 is like comparing "apples to oranges," so she apparently decided to compare oranges to apples instead.

As you may have heard, a video surfaced of GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney pandering to a wealthy group of potential donors, in which he described 47 percent of Americans as people who "pay no income tax," and are committed Obama voters addicted to the government teat.

That's good news for President Obama in Arizona, because according to the most recent tally done by a national tax-policy organization, Arizona has the 14th-highest percentage of federal income tax "non-payers" in the nation.
