Yet another new poll this week from Public Policy Polling shows U.S. Sen. John McCain leading GOP challenger J.D. Hayworth:

Republican primary voters in Arizona are down on John McCain, with a majority of them thinking he's too lenient on immigration and a plurality feeling that he's too liberal in general. But his saving grace may be that the candidate trying to exploit those weaknesses is J.D. Hayworth, who begins the race with high negatives. As a result McCain leads with 46% to 35% for Hayworth and 7% for Jim Deakin.

Hayworth actually leads McCain 46-38 with conservative voters. But McCain's 60-15 advantage with moderates is so overwhelming that it allows him the double digit lead.

McCain's overall numbers with primary voters are nothing to write home about. 45% disapprove of his job performance to 44% who approve. 43% think he's too liberal to 38% who think he's about right. 53% think he's too lenient on immigration to 32% who think he's about right.

But conservative voters in particular are down on him on

Nicole Flowers, the former manager of 58 Degrees and Holding Company, says she and Travis Reese, formerly of the B Line, are teaming up to open the new downtown eatery 47 Scott.

Flowers says renovations to the space at 47 Scott Ave. are nearly complete, and the menu is finalized. Expect steaks, burgers, rotating seasonal specials and a brief and affordable wine list. A bar menu will feature items such as homemade fries, a grilled-cheese platter that serves several people and a cheese plate, among other items.

The atmosphere will fall somewhere between the upscale feel at the now-defunct 58 Degrees and the casual vibe at B-Line. The menu tops out at $16, with most entrées in the $12 range.

"If I had to whittle it down to one word, it would be 'comfortable,'" Flowers said.

Dave Baker, who most recently worked at Maynards Market and Kitchen, will be head chef, said Flowers. Baker has also trained under chef Albert Hall, owner and chef at Acacia at St. Philip's.

Flowers also said the location has a patio that's shaded by nearby buildings after 3:30 p.m. That sounds like a downtown happy hour just waiting to happen.

A grand opening is scheduled for Saturday, May 8.

From cartoonist Mike Peters:

Eclectic Pizza, which won a Best of Tucson® staff pick last year for its gluten-free options, will make an appearance on the Sundance Channel next month.

Renee Kreager, who owns the restaurant with her husband, Steve, says the restaurant will be featured in an episode of The Lazy Environmentalist slated to air Tuesday, May 11. She said the show focuses on teaching a teenager how to make healthy food choices.

Producers have not shared much information about the episode, Kreager said. However, she was relatively confident that the show would shine a favorable light on the restaurant.

“The host and the staff ordered hundreds of dollars worth of food and liked everything. They were really happy with it,” she said.

Sadly enough, the Kreagers are so busy running the restaurant that they rarely have time to watch television—and they don’t get the Sundance Channel, Kreager said.

Tucson Weekly arts editor Margaret Regan, author of The Death of Josseline: Immigration Stories from the Arizona-Mexico Borderlands, weighs in on SB 1070 in the Washington Post:

If the law survives the expected legal challenges, SB 1070 will clog the courts and the jails, and tangle the state in turf disputes with the federal government. It could dump migrants back over the line into the Mexican border towns already struggling to cope with the murderous onslaught of the drug cartels.

Worst of all, the new law will do nothing to solve Arizona’s real and pressing border problems: It addresses neither the growing violence of drug smugglers nor the escalating deaths of migrants who are coming to the United States only to work or re-unite with their families. It does nothing to prevent the loss of another Krentz or another Aroldo.

BLOOD INTO WINE is the eagerly awaited documentary on Tool/Puscifer front man Maynard James Keenan and his vineyard partner Eric Glomski’s mission to bring notoriety and respect to Northern Arizona’s burgeoning wine industry.

While the film focuses on the famous rocker's winemaking, BLOOD INTO WINE offers a larger picture of the often reclusive singer. “Maynard is as mysterious and complex as rumored so we don’t know exactly why he allowed our cameras and questions into his world for the winemaking year of 2009,” explains co-director Ryan Page.
