I am pissed off.
I have been involved in New Mexico politics for a number of years, off and on. Nothing would please me more than to see Heather Wilson unseated. I say this knowing that I am going to get slammed, but I am going to say it anyway.
Unless Patricia Madrid starts countering the negative advertising, especially the ones that accuse her of corruption, she is going to lose. It makes me very angry to think that the NM Democratic party could squander its best opportunity to take the 1st Congressional District in years.
If you are reading this and are part of the Madrid campaign, go directly to Patsy and tell her to get it in gear please.
I personally can think of a half dozen better choices to represent the party in this race, but I am supporting Madrid and will do whatever I can to help. But by God could someone please talk to this woman and her advisers??? Get out there, straighten out the message, wipe the insipid little smile off her face, put some strenght behind her voice and FIGHT! It is too important not to.
That said...bring on the brickbats, baby.
