Weh "assault" largely ignored.

Gubernatorial Candidate Allen Weh is yet to refute the allegation made by the County Chairman of the Republican Party Rick Abraham.

Abraham, in an exchange of emails with Weh campaign director Whitney Cheshire, accused Weh of; "physically attacking" a member of his staff.

Abraham claims the attack took place in front of "many witnesses", yet will not elaborate beyond his initial accusation.

A number of bloggers have mentioned the string of emails that blogger Monahan first pointed to, link, but no one seems particularly worked up by the idea that a gubernatorial candidate may have lost his temper and actually physically attacked someone in public and in front of witnesses.

One would suppose that if the attack had actually taken place, it would be newsworthy.

One would also suppose that if the attack had not taken place, someone would deny it, and then hold Abraham accountable for a false allegation.

Whatever the truth is, it should not be hidden from stakeholders.

There are those who would not vote for the man who announced his plan to clean the Roundhouse with "a baseball bat" if they thought that was his actual intention.

Or, maybe they would, given the level of frustration surrounding the culture of corruption in Santa Fe.
