Its not the voter who determines the outcome of elections, its the vote counter.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is shameful, all the way around.  If I were Udall, I would ask my son-in-law to decline the position, out of the appearance of impropriety alone.  If I were Noel, I would decline the position based on the damage it could do to my father's campaign.  If I would were Herrera, I would decline the position because not only do I not have the brain power to be sec of state, but clearly because I wouldn't have anymore mental capacity than warrants a job at McDonald's (apologies to everybody at Mikey D's, its not fair to lump her in a class with you)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is explicit proof that it is time to get rid of our two corrupt political parties and return our government to the people and to the officials they would elect to defend our Republic.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">thomasjames</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 25 Aug 2008 13:07:30 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
