New Video Documents Jan Brewer’s Failures

Though Arizona's hurting, Jan Brewer's filled with big talk and few solutions.

Phoenix’s crusading immigrant rights videographer Dennis Gilman doesn’t work for Gov. Jan Brewer opponent and Democratic gubernatorial nominee Terry Goddard’s campaign, but maybe he should. Check out the new video Gilman, whose long list of videos can be seen at his YouTube channel Humanleague002, put together documenting Brewer’s outsized talk and scant accomplishments for the ailing state. Aside from her shameless anti-immigrant rhetoric, perhaps most disquieting of all is Brewer’s frequent incoherent mumblings, to constituents and reporters alike, and most familiar to people outside Arizona, during [high-stakes televised debates](https://colorlines.com/archives/2010/09/brewers_opening_statement.html). This weekend the [East Valley Tribune](http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/arizona/politics/article_81232a3e-de33-11df-9a6f-001cc4c002e0.html) reported that with nine days to go before Election Day, Goddard is slowly narrowing the gap between him and Brewer. Brewer still polls ahead of Goddard by a double digit margin.
