First, he did not change the "state constitution". And If you live in the unincorporated areas of any municipality you cannot vote. If you want to vote in city elections move to the city.

...and there you have it, most of us are pretty pragmatic and in effect just want something that actually works. So when it comes down to it those of us who aren't barking like junkyard dogs don't care that much about party affiliation anymore and are voting on the basis of there being some evidence that a candidate for political office has a capacity for realistically responding to the changes and challenges we're facing and achieving some results.

It's not the Red team vs the Blue team; this is not football, OK? This is whether or not America survives. It's the corporations and the government vs the citizens. Until we get out of this division between US and out of the blame game, they will continue to have US caught by the short and curlies.

First off, Its called the Bonnie Blue, not that I would expect somebody like you to know that.

Second, your argument is totally of base and irrelevant. Hate is hate is does not matter whether or not it is based upon lying. The argument here centers around the idea of trying say that only the Right hates. Which is patently false. As very clear example I pointed out that clearly the left is capable of hate, i.e. they display hate to G.W., and hate towards anybody of the conservative bent. So the point, which you clearly missed, was that the left wing kookery is just guilty of hate and the argument that the only Right hates is stupid.

I don't know. I didn't do anything to it.

I think the libs at NMI deleted it because they were afraid.

Stop blaming and self-justifying and help save your country. They've US where they want US : divided.

This whole thing was the result of Chavez ambition run amok. I mean getting the very State Constitution changed so he could run a 3rd time, like a demagogue! Romero would have been good. Berry scares me he's like a zombie.
I really don't understand why the whole county can't vote for ABQ mayor. ABQ is like a huge octopus that influences everything in the whole county. We all should be able to vote.

It happened because he had more votes than the other candidates. Just as obama did.

I truly loved George W. Bush but hated his policies. My love for ole "W" was strained to the point I had to vote for Democrats.

The republicans thinking this is some kind of shift to republicans need to remember that the democrats in the race got 56% of the vote.

The real winner was voter apathy, with only about 25% of the registered voters actually voting. So simple math shows that Berry with 44% of that 25% was elected by 11% of Albuquerque's registered voters.

qofdisks,

I understand that if you keep telling yourself that enough times even you'll begin to believe it!

Thomas_James — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 16:15:02 -0000

That is BS, you can't tell me that the liberals did not hate George W. That is a stupid argument.

The average American doesn't "hate". Only right wing nuttery "hates". "Hating" is not mainstream and if it is, we are in deep do do. Hating is a base reptilian emotion not based on rational thought or reason. Hate has the inherent quality in that it negatively affects the hater far more than the hated. It was used by the Fascists to tactically brain wash the masses to commit evil deeds.

I think some of the pundocracy is giving too much credit to public financing for the outcome of the election. True, publicly financed candidates had to abide by spending caps. But before a privately funded candidate could spend $1 million or more, they would have to raise that amount. This was the first election with the new Election Code provisions banning "business" contributions. Combined with the current state of the economy, I have to believe that consideration is what drove all three mayoral candidates to public financing in the first place.

Man Leonidas comments just make me laugh at this point.

Ultimately, Tuesday’s shocking election left us with a candidate who won decisively – but it leaves lots of questions about exactly how and why it happened and what kind of mayor Berry will be.

Of course it came as a "shock" to you. You have no idea of how much the average American hates the liberals now, do you? Just admit it. You didn't see this coming, despite over a million conservatives and independents showing up in D.C. weeks ago.

You'll utter the same adjective on the day after the 2010 general election. You won't see that tsunami coming either.

That is how out-of-touch you and yours are to the main-stream of America.
