Denish defense a no-brainer.

In a Journal op-ed piece,
New Mexico Republican Party
Chairman, Harvey Yates Jr.
pointed out that Denish's record
does not include taking a stand
against the culture of corruption
in Santa Fe.

In her defense,
Lt Governor Diane Denish
needs only to point the place
in her record, link, where she stepped up and spit in eye of the good ol' boys that run and benefit from, the good ol' boy system that is synonymous with the culture of corruption.

Easier said than done. Were Denish's War on the Culture of Corruption, equated to the War on Drugs, all she has done so far is hassle a couple of pot smoking hippies.

If fairness, her record is as good as anyone else's,
maybe better.

The problem is that nobody in the governor's race has actually squared off and gone toe to toe, eyeball to eyeball, and mano a mano with the culture itself.

Yates attack is disingenuous at best.

Denish's best, perhaps her only, defense at this point
would be to call on Yates to point to a republican
who has done better; or even has plans to do better.

So far, the best the Republicans have to offer is Allen Weh.

Weh has no plan to end
the culture of corruption either.

He may have the intention,
but he doesn't have a plan.


No plan anyway, that he will
put on the table for voters to
examine, to see if they think
the plan has any likelihood at
all, of any greater success than
Denish's no plan at all.

If a plan to end the culture of corruption in Santa Fe,
does not strike terror in the hearts of the politically
entrenched corrupt and incompetent,
I submit that it is no plan at all.
