Remember how Director Todd Phillips just half-heartedly remade “The Hangover” in “The Hangover Part II?” Remember how lethargic, lame, and tedious it felt having to sit through the same movie over again with fewer laughs? That’s the best way to describe “21 and Over.” The film marks the directorial debut of Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, the writing team behind the original “Hangover.” They’ve basically recycled their smash hit comedy beat for beat. Where “The Hangover Part II” at least had three laugh-out-loud moments though, there’s nothing even remotely funny in “21 and Over.” It’s a comedic dead zone from its opening scene all the way through.

With the high number of provisional and mail-in ballots last week, the state had more than 600,000 votes to count after the Nov. 6 General Election. In Pima County, election crews spent the last week going through nearly 80,000 ballots.

With all precincts reporting, Republican Ally Miller has unofficially defeated Democratic opponent Nancy Young Wright in the race for Pima County Board of Supervisors, District 1.

I appreciate the fact that The Explorer has granted me “equal time” to respond to some of the allegations made by my Tea Party opponent Ally Miller in last week’s edition. It is a great honor to be a candidate for the Pima County Board of Supervisors, representing an area where I have lived and served for 30 years. Our constituents will benefit from a civil, intelligent debate about the issues of the day and I am committed to doing my part to bring that about.

The ballots for the November election have hit voters’ mailboxes, so it’s endorsement time. I don’t have enough space to cover the entire ballot in any detail, so I’m focusing on one race -- Pima County Supervisor, District One -- and one initiative -- Prop 204. Then I’ll do a quick run through other candidates on the ballot.

An UnAmerican thing to say

In Regards to Al Melvin’s tirade on Democrats

Over the last few weeks there has been a lot of talk about endorsements for candidates aiming to take office after the Nov. 6 General Election. 

There are some important decisions facing voters come the Nov. 6 General Election, and one big race earning a lot of attention in the Northwest is between Democrat Nancy Young Wright, and Republican candidate Ally Miller who are seeking to replace Ann Day in District 1 of the Pima County Board of Supervisors.

After running unopposed in the primary election, Democrat Nancy Young Wright will look to defeat Republican candidate Ally Miller in the General Election for a seat for Pima County Board of Supervisors, District 1.

Republican Ally Miller is a newcomer to the political arena, but her name is quickly becoming known around Tucson, evident in her defeat of State Rep. Vic Williams, Mike Hellon, and Stuart McDaniel in the Republican primary election for Pima County Board of Supervisors, District 1. 

The Sun City Oro Valley Government Affairs Committee is holding a forum involving candidates for Pima County Board of Supervisors District 1 candidates, which includes Republican Ally Miller and Democrat Nancy Young Wright.

With the Primary Election over, many races will start gaining more attention as candidates focus on the Nov. 6 General Election where more than just the U.S. President will be decided.

On Tuesday, Arizona voters will be voting on the primary candidates they want to see move on to the General Election, and based on early numbers, many residents have already spoken.

We are just a couple weeks away from seeing which primary election candidates will move on to the General Election, and which ones will be finished. Early in the primary season, The Explorer said we would not be endorsing candidates, but with that stressed we would point out good points and faults in candidates who are running. We will stick to that. We will not say who you should vote for, but we are going to stick to the promise to make a few observations.
