Pete Domenici for governor?

Everyone has a right to run for governor.

It is a perversion of the exercise of that right, if the powerful
and the privileged use the system to install a chosen one.

It would be a shame if this was all about a political machine
installing their candidate.

It is a sad truth that elections can be bought.
They are not of the people, by the people and for the people;
at best, they are held in front of the people.

The winner is the one who gathers the most good ol' boys,
their power and their privilege, to usurp the seat.



It is ironic that
the candidate who is
the single greatest threat
to the good ol' boys and
their way of government,
is being discounted for no
greater reason than that
she doesn't enjoy the favour
of the good ol' boys and
their political machine.

This is like imposing royalty on the USA.
If Domenci's son wants to run, he should do it like any other unknown and earn his way up.
All this coverage on the TV as "news" of the half-baked politician's son running is ridiculous and gratuitous.
Would you want your kid to take over your job tomorrow w/no training, no earned respect?
