Colón wants to "look the other way" on Richardson connection.

Governor Bill Richardson himself, pointed to the need for Lt Gov Diane Denish to "separate herself from him", link, in order to win the election for Governor.

Denish's strategy apparently, is to simply pretend she wasn't there when the Richardson Denish administration did nothing to wage war on the culture of corruption in Santa Fe.

It appears that Lt Gubernatorial Candidate Brian Colón will adopt the same strategy; he will simply pretend he was never close enough to Richardson to catch his cooties, wikilink.
Watch the video at Capital Report New Mexico, link.

Rather than explain his failure to stand up to the rot in the Roundhouse, he will instead, "focus on the future"; a classic good ol' boy defense; "never mind the past, let's look to the future".

Colón agrees with Denish;

If people want to run against Bill Richardson,
they should have done it four years ago.

If that specious argument has a familiar ring to it, substitute "George Bush" for "Bill Richardson", and you will remember hearing it from Republicans when Denish, Colón, et al were trying to tie Republican candidates to the Bush administration.

Add hypocrisy to the Denish, Colón credits,
along with hiding from the truth.
