is based on rw radio - KKOB in NM - and that is a station that would go belly up if the uni of NM was pressured into rereading its mission statement, forgoing the few thousand it makes every year in radio licensing revenue, and then declare it will not renew it's contract with KKOB and will look for apolitical alternatives for broadcasting its sports.

martinez is gov in large part because KKOB was able to fly the lobos flag for 20 years while sliming richardson (much more than he was) and then unjustly tar and feather denesh with him. the crap they were blasting the state with worked, like with so many issues they win on.

IMO a lot of local tv political content in most states follows the talk radio buzz/example in a lot of ways- for instance the ability of meteorologists to reference global warming- and is mostly much much tamer and less frequent

another thing about tv is it's harder to find qualified loons to look right into the camera and lie and be so ignorant

any time kkob sells the ALEC/koch/GOP agenda under the lobos flag- which is every time they open their mouths.

other local media, probably tired of being intimidated by them, would notice, and so would their local advertisers.

the station might also be a good place to protest -i think its right across from the ABQ jail.

I left a note on the car's windshield thanking the owner and saying I was right there with him/her. Tough times made a bit easier by good people willing to fight the good fight.

I expect no apologies from DUers on this, ever. But it's important to give the muck shovelers an opportunity at education. That way we'll know their insults are intentional rather than simply made in ignorance.

Re the danger of Walker...Walker is as dangerous as a smart-mouthed punk surrounded by a gang. Walker with a divided Congress could really do NOTHING that he has done in WI.

Frankly any one of a number of tea-party governors and a few current senators would be just as dangerous.

Anyone one of them as executive -and- with majority control of congress would be ruinous to federal authority and regulatory protections.

With the Kochs backing Walker, the republican primary will be something like the clash of the Titans. I'm not sure the Kochs can win that with Walker as their champion, but he might be made VP.

The financial woes his governance has created are building here. As he has all his life, his m.o. is move on before accountability can catch him

65. But, can you blame politicians for not overcoming the stolen votes?
Thu Mar 19, 2015, 02:42 PM
Mar 2015

A serious problem in WI is the narrowness between support for the two parties. ALL of Walker's wins could be reversed with a 3% swing of the vote. That narrowness can be overcome by a handful of disenfranchisement techniques, and outright theft. And the evidence in the vote reporting puts outright theft on the table.

I think WIdem being able to only come up with a former DC lobbyist who defended off-shoring jobs and brought in anti-union Bill Clinton in a state fighting for jobs and union rights created a problem. It might have marginally helped get voter turnout in urban areas where Clinton was popular but it turned off many others.

And, -that- made the election close enough to be decided by what can't be told apart from cheating.

It's too complicated for me to put a finger on where the blame really gets assigned




jeff47

When turnout is that low, a 3% "stolen" rate could be easily overcome by 10% higher turnout.

It's too complicated for me to put a finger on where the blame really gets assigned

It doesn't matter what the specific problem was. It was the candidate's job to overcome that problem. That doesn't mean it's possible to overcome - it might not be. Still their problem to try and solve.

Our alternatives, limited as they were, included the heroic, and the charismatic, really they didn't want to get into it.

What emerged was poor options and, imho, the winner of the primary was person who I think knew she really couldn't win, but who must be respected for having the courage to step into a yawning void.
