in Not what you might expect: McCain outspending Obama in N.M. on The New Mexico Independent
Interesting point, but I suspect Obama is outspending McCain everywhere. He's just putting his money into organizing his ground game. As you point out McCain will have $84 million for the remaining 11-12 weeks after the convention. Obama will probably raise that same amount this month since he is now "down" 5 points in the latest Zogby poll. Recall that the last time Obama appeared to be struggling his 1+ million donor base came through with record donations. I'm not worried.

Besides with McCain calling for the renegotiation of the 1922 Water Pact he might have shot himself in the foot here in NM and CO.

in Power to the blogs on The New Mexico Independent
Having a journalism degree, or a job working as one, does not make one a good reporter or writer. Jane Hamsher @ FDL (along with her fellow bloggers) is one of the finest sites in the blogosphere. The Great Orange Satan (DKos) has some very fine writing and most of it by people who have never earned a dime from a "real" media outlet.

Any establishment media journalist who does not, at a minimum, participate in a group blog is a dinosaur. Most of them now post somewhere on a semi-regular basis.

It was embedded on a front page post by brownsox at the Great Orange Satan yesterday. It was part of a very interesting analysis on the CD-1 race.

in TODAY’S TOP STORIES: Domenici opposes immunity takeaway proposal on The New Mexico Independent
Interesting. If they haven't done anything wrong then why would they need retroactive immunity? Gosh, now where have I heard something similar before? If you don't have anything to hide ...

IOKIYAR!

But alas the Republicans (i.e. Pete) are bowing to their corporate masters with the Democrats aiding and abetting this legal sorcery. Shame on them.

in Impeach John Paul Stevens on The New Mexico Independent
Serving way past ones useful shelf life didn't become readily apparent to you until after YOU got your punk ass arrested. You may not agree with Stevens but Stevens is an honorable and decent man.

You should be calling for the impeachment of those disgraceful War Criminals in the Executive Branch. As a matter of fact you should be calling for them to be hanged. They have disgraced our Nation and violated international law and all human decency.

Please let us get our priorities straight before all the chickenhawk righties get their panties in a knot because some mean old Liberal is going to take away all the guns. Jesus, Dan, get a grip.

in Heather Wilson for VP? on The New Mexico Independent
I can't think of one Democrat who wouldn't love to have the woman who introduced the Articles of Impeachment for Bill Clinton on the Republican ticket. I'm pretty sure that would be the real unity ticket.

in Obama stirs controversy in NM on The New Mexico Independent
Yawn ... the Republicans and Winguttia are up in arms because after 7+ years of a disastrous Presidency they know this mistake by Obama is about as close as they will get to laying a glove on him.

The economy is tanking, thousands of dead American soldiers, scores of thousands of dead Iraqis, an infrastructure system that is crumbling, a housing mortgage crisis looming, and NO energy policy to address fuel prices going through the roof, and these mouthbreathing atavists pounce on Obama for this? Please. Spare me the faux outrage.

in GOP comes out strong for military on The New Mexico Independent
Almost half of the Republicans voted against this bill. How is this coming out strong? A more appropriate headline might be: Almost Half of GOP Senators turn their back on those who have ALREADY served.

in CD1: White and Carraro mix it up on The New Mexico Independent
Ouch! Joe I think that left a mark.

Is White really that much of an asshole? Carraro has always been a bit over the top but White showed what a classless prick he really is. Good. Mark this one done to save for the GE against him.

in Clinton likes gas-tax holiday idea on The New Mexico Independent
Anyone who believes this gas tax holiday benefits consumers either does not understand basic economics or is lying to themselves. The for the consumer is ZERO. Does anyone actually beleive the oil companies would pass on the savings to the consumer? Do you really believe this would pass in the Congress? If so, do you believe Bush would sign it? If he does sign it, do you believe they have the votes to override the veto? With all that said why is it a good idea to to re-route the highway funding mechanism and add another layer of bureaucrcy?

Please. HRC thinks we're stupid and is pandering. Pure and simple.

I was born in the day. It just wasn't yesterday. Good grief now Clinton is getting her campaign talking points from McCombover?
