"51% Give Gov. Thumbs Up"

according to the Journal headline, link.

"Governor Richardson feels good about having
the support of a majority of New Mexicans ..."

said Gov Richardson's PIO, Gilbert Gallegos, in response.

Another interesting quote from the same article, addresses
the apparent popularity of Lt Gov Diane Denish and is
attributed to the pollster, Brian Sanderoff;

"Lieutenant governors don't take those battle line stances
on polarizing issues that cubbyhole them as too liberal or
conservative."

If there is to be meaningful ethical reform in government, it
will not come because of folks who lack the character and/or
the courage to take a battle line stance on ethics reform.

I hope voters will remember that.
