    Of course it was a conspiracy but, it was a conspiracy carried out by the public to get rid of three lack luster law makers who had done too little for their respective districts. This sounds like sour grapes to me. These ousted three should look at the real facts and not try to point fingers at George Soros who I am sure has much bigger fish to fry. Let’s take a real look at the needs of these three districts and how they were not met gentleman. Robinson busied himself with raising money for a UNM club sport while his district was plagued by violence, crack and pollution. Taylor whom was Manny Aragon’s successor felt as if he had his district in the bag and didn’t work hard enough to maintain his seat. He therefore lost touch with his constituency and was rightly ousted for someone who was more in touch with the needs of the people and their district. Manny may go to prison James, but as a Senator he never lost touch with the people who elected him and what they needed (Even if he did rip them off in the end). Silva’s defeat surprised me and many others but perhaps he as the other two felt way too comfortable with his position of power. Things change and in at least two of the cases they changed for obvious reasons.
