According to the Journal, link, and pollster Brian Sanderoff;
"Lieutenant governors don't take those battle line stancesDenish won't take a real stand, on the record, on the steps of

or a real ethics commission.
Her apologists argue that it is just because she can't stand up to Governor Bill Richardson. Once he is gone she will be able to stand up to everybody else.They would have us believe, after Richardson is out of the picture, Denish will find the courage that she cannot find now.
She will stand up to House Speaker Ben Lujan and tell him he can't have a highway to his place, link.If she can't stand up to him right now, why should we believe that she might be able to stand up to him later, even if Richardson is gone?

Lt. Governors do sometimes stand against their Governors in the media, and professionally.
The most recent example is the crybaby South Carolina Governor Stanford. His Lt. Governor has (along w/others from his party and state) called for his Governor's resignation because of the Philandering, lying and crybaby crap that shames the state.
True, most Lt. Governors "suck up" to their governor-bosses, but some find the courage to stand up for what is right.
