<Block pulled in numbers higher than 70 percent in Republican-leaning counties like Union, Mora and Rio Arriba, reaching almost 80 percent in Harding County, indicating voters in those counties were more comfortable with a Democrat than a Green. The Republicans had no candidate in the race.>

I'd speculate they had other motivation here.

Good, maybe he took my advice and stayed home to organize a tour to focus his anti-abortion viewpoints on the male responsibility end of the unwanted pregnancy crisis!

Re: Al Gore group says ABC won’t air its ad

This is ridiculous.
We, the audience, are barraged with ads from every oil, coal, plastic, and nuclear outfit going.
Why is ABC afraid to open up the debate, let other positions, other options, have a voice.
You can be sure I'll be checking out what I'm reluctantly going to miss on the boob tube from their station if they keep up the censorship and general undemocratic attitude.

What I won't be missing is their drama series called, Another ad from the myth of Clean Coal!

Re: Mexican actor to campaign in Cruces for McCain

I'd like to know the last time Verastegui spent any time using his position to persuade the men of his or this nation to use birth control or generally do their part to curtail the necessity of abortion in the first place! I'd also like to know whether he features the sperm donor anywhere in his graphic video!

The anti-choice movement often conveniently forgets it takes two to tango!

Against abortion, then don't have one. Yet vocal mouthpieces like Mr. Verastegui can't even find themselves in the position of experiencing a pregnancy in the first place!
Instead of putting the emphasis of his criticism on women seeking abortion, they should be working on their own sex, barraging them with moralisms, and trying to prevent unwanted pregnancy and promoting reproductive responsibility by men first.

I'm glad he has "vowed only to work on “meaningful films that have the potential to touch people’s hearts and minds,” but he should keep his political intentions away from women's bodies.

I'm sorry you couldn't bring yourself to vote for Rick Lass. He is not "anti-Democrat." He works for the improvement of our democracy across the board. But he, and our party in general, have found it an uphill road. He has seen fit to endorse both Ben Ray Lujan and Barack Obama, and I presume will vote for them.

I don't live in his district but rather PRC District 1. I'm voting for Democrat Jason Marks, even though, as a Green Party member and officer, the Democrats have been virulently anti-Green on a number of fronts, seeking to limit our participation in the electoral process time and time again, here and across the nation.

If I had your attitude, I would be leaving quite a few races blank if I could not stomach voting for Democrats. As it stands, I am proud of my Green Party and will continue to fight for our inclusion on ballot lines, in debates (the lack of this most un-democratic), and in the public square, But I believe in working across party lines and seeking not merely a bipartisan, but a multi-partisan system in this wonderful diverse nation we have.
