Denish owes voters an explanation.

Does Lt Gov Diane Denish
intend to run for Governor
without ever sitting down and
discussing her relationship to
the culture of corruption and
incompetence in Santa Fe?

Are we to pretend it doesn't exist,
or simply that it doesn't make any
difference whether it exists or not?

There are those, I among them,
who believe "complicit or complacent" applies in her relationship to the rot in the Roundhouse.

The Denishers, heretofore, have not offered another term.

When the discussion comes around to Denish's accountability in the atmosphere in state government, the discussion ends; abruptly and usually in company of an attack on the person who brought it up.

Does she seriously expect to conduct her entire campaign without ever coming clean, without ever talking about this issue candidly, forthrightly and honestly?

And if she does, why will we let her get away with it?

Why are politics in New Mexico so dysfunctional?

Why can't we change them?

Why won't we change them?
