In a nutshell, Cactus Politics is your source for sharp analysis and biting commentary on anyone and anything that comprises Arizona Politics- federal, state, and local.
Cactus Politics isn't just another political news aggregator. We review the political news from throughout the state of Arizona from every source possible- as well as the national stories pertaining to Arizona- sort through all of this news and commentary, and pick out those items and articles that we believe are in dire need of our incisive incisors. Sometimes we'll simply highlight a news item that we'd like to bring to your attention. Whether the story or article in question is a victim of the proverbial Friday News Dump, has had important details or perspectives omitted, or has been spun so violently that triage is needed - we're there to provide first aid in the form of edgy analysis that's sure to inform, entertain, and provoke.
We here at "The Cactus" also churn out a good helping of our own original content, as we comment and editorialize on or about the state's most compelling politicians, movers & shakers, and issues. We'll also be breaking news, doing investigative reporting, and keeping everyone honest on both sides of the aisle.
