Talk about beating a dead horse. I haven't noticed that the local electorate is up at arms about Heinrich's long-time advocacy for the common good and the environment. This is a non-story and yet NMI has now published three articles on it at a time when voters need to know about the issues, not the latest talking point memo issued by the Republicans.
I thought the mainstream media was doing a poor job on covering issues and the incredible policy challengers we face now and in the near future, but now I'm beginning to think that the so-called "new media" isn't any better.
Another point: haven't you found anything that might merrit a closer look in Darren White's background and job performance. How about a probe about what really caused him to quit his cabinet position with Gary Johnson. Something about a slew of cops voting no confidence on his leadership. Voters might want to know abo

about that given our current leadership crisis in Washington. (Sorry, I had to continue here as I hit post early by mistake on the first part.)

Sorry Barb, your hypocrisy and partisan spinning is just disgusting on this one. So you think that resigning from a position because of no confidence vote is equal to breaking the law multiple times. I worry more about electing a lobbyist who believes he is above the law. That said it is a shame that we have to pick from two skeazy poor choices.

thomasjames, you forgot that breaking the law, unethical activities, and cover-ups are only illegal when republican's are involved. otherwise its a "non-story" for over-anxious barb & her sweep-liberal-dirt-under-the-rug cohorts. billy boy can lie in court about his sexual escapades in the white house and he is to be revered; Sarah Palin's daughter is pregnant and SP should be crucified.

The Independent has fallen into the trap of coming after non profits and community organizers. This thing isn't an issue that means much in the large scheme of things. Look around for real stories that affect us all.

I'm with jbaca - I thought the NMI was trying to be an intelligent alternative to the dumb horse race political coverage of the mainstream media. But today I'm treated to the zillionth analysis of Sarah Palin from the perspective of an evangelical blogger, and yet another petty he-said-she-said story about local politicians who may or may not have had a job once. Sheesh.
