Talk:Harry Mitchell

Untitled
I live in this district and am no fan of J.D. Hayworth. J.D. Hayworth has not yet conceeded the election and so any statement in Wikipedia that he has been elected to office is premature at best and untrue at worst. Thane Eichenauer 14:59, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

External Links Linkrot
Mitchell over the bully link seems to have suffered from linkrot on AZCentral.com, it directs to what amounts to a 404 style page. I haven't been able to find the original article. I don't feel comfortable just killing it. Perhaps someone can take up the mantle and find the proper entry and fix it? I have attempted to use AZCentral's own search and Google, no dice. $\sim$ Hadaly  (talk) 05:55, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Finances
I took out a sentence relating the difference in finances between Schweikert and Mitchell. The information I found was vastly different numbers. However on reflection, I didn't think the raw numbers provided any substantive context for the election. --TeaDrinker (talk) 19:24, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Voting record and POV
has been repeatedly inserting the talking points against Mitchell from the National Republican Trust and a site called "Harrymitchellwatch." While I agree voting record is important, certainly the selection of topics and characterizations should not come from a partisan source. Any thoughts on how to improve the article? --TeaDrinker (talk) 05:57, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I've tried to write up a referenced and balanced paragraph on Mitchell's voting record. I'd welcome improvements, of course, or any further thoughts. --TeaDrinker (talk) 06:34, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Your changes to the site are absolutely biased towards Mitchell and promote popular votes he made while concealing his votes for Healthcare and the original stimulus package which are obviously unpopular. You must include both. I am not a campaign worker and the only things I changed form David Schweikert's profile were false personal attacks which are being severely misrepresented. I am sure if I put anything close to what was on his page on Mitchell's it would get deleted immediately. Also, "Blue dog" and "centrist" are most certainly his talking points considering he votes with his party, which by all accounts has pushed a very liberal agenda, 81% of the time. Include all the facts and please stop erasing my points simply to insert similar ones. I will attempt to edit again and leave all the bullshit off. --iumitchell02 —Preceding undated comment added 13:37, 23 September 2010 (UTC).
 * Thanks for the commentary, I removed your second reference to "Obamacare," since his vote on the bill was already mentioned (I would think "Obamacare" is a partisan term). I amnot sure which stimulus bill you were meaning to reference, but the reference provided says he opposed it in 2009.  Describing someone as "very liberal" or "centrist" is a judgement call, of course, so I tried to find a reasonably neutral source.  I left in your percent voting with democratic party, but I am not sure quite what it means.  There are many bills which are completely non-controversial--naming post offices, recognizing the achievements of Mrs. Johnson's second grade class in science olympiad, etc.-- which pass virtually unanimously.  It is not clear if the stat refers just to meaningful legislation, or inlcudes all the fluff.  If not, which bills are included?  How are the partisan lines determined? I'm always worried about stats without context.  --TeaDrinker (talk) 18:25, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
