As Tip O’Neill never said, “All politics is loco.”
Holy Crap
Why is Matt Rush running for land commissioner? You really need to watch the entire video to get the full flavor and extent of his remarks (not to mention the treacly background music), but here are a few nuggets:
If we want to be a Christian nation again, Christian people have to start standing up, runnning for office again … if we ever want to become a Christian nation again. That’s the reason I got involved in politics.
… For those of us who are Christians and we are proud to say we are Christians, we need to start standing up being proud of it again and we need to take the fight to the enemy. So I encourage each and every one of you to get involved.
We’ve got to start standing up because we are one nation under god and we need to make sure we take that back to our legislative process.
Notice that Rush doesn’t discuss any issues pertinent to the job of land commissioner. I guess he thinks it’s enough that people know he will battle to put his brand of Christianity in the drivers seat …
Elect Willow Misty Parks Bernalillo County Probate Judge
Bernalillo County Probate Judge is easy to overlook in the middle of a long ballot. However, this race provides a stark choice between candidates. Willow Parks is an attorney with experience in probate and related matters. Bea Sheridan is a retired nurse with no legal experience at all. You can look at their respective websites. You can read what the League of Women Voters has on both. For 60 years, attorneys have held this demanding part-time job. In fact, some of those former Probate Judges have gone on to higher judicial office. While many of New Mexico’s smallest counties have non-lawyers as probate judge, all of those seek training and support from the current Bernalillo County Probate Judge, Merri Rudd, who cannot run due to term limits, which she supports. The very fact that a non-attorney would seek this office is evidence to me that she doesn’t understand the job’s demands. It should come as no surprise that Bernalillo County provides many complex probate matters that require a judge who grasps the limited authority of that office. The Probate Court cannot accept contested cases, which must be bumped to District Court. Yet, Sheridan promises to resolve such cases, far beyond the scope of the office. Parks understands the authority and limits of the office and knows the law. Parks will be an excellent successor to Judge Merri Rudd.
I hope you will get the word out about this race. This is not a partisan matter: This is about what’s best for Bernalillo County’s citizens.

Democrats Don’t Vote and New Mexicans are the Worst
Do you know the difference between Democrats and Republicans. Republicans *always* vote. When they’re up, they vote out of pride and when they’re down, they vote out of anger. They’re plenty pissed off this year. Democrats don’t vote. Democrats assume their vote doesn’t matter, either because other Democrats will vote enough or Republicans will vote too much – why bother.
Get out and vote. Ask everyone you know if they have registered and if they plan to vote. Take a friend or neighbor to the early voting site or the polls the day of. It’s not too late, but it could be soon. Negative forces are counting on your failure.

If you, or someone you know, isn’t registered to vote yet, you don’t have much more time to procrastinate; to be eligible to vote in November’s elections, one must be registered to vote by next Tuesday.
The Secretary of State’s office says if you still need to register to vote you can call your county clerk’s office for more information. If you are not sure about your status, you can check VoterView to search for your voter registration information.
Remember, if you aren’t registered to vote by Tuesday [10/5/10] you will not be able to vote in November’s elections. This includes all races from your local state Representative races all the way up to the Congressional and federal races.
Other important dates for the upcoming election include October 16, when early in-person voting begins in alternate sites and October 30, when early and absentee voting ends. And, of course, election day is November 2.

TenMillionVoters.Com: Newt Launches Tea Party Campaign To Stop ‘Radical, Secular Socialist Machine’
With the incendiary claim that the Obama presidency is the greatest threat the American people have ever faced, Newt Gingrich has launched a massively funded effort to mobilize ten million conservative voters this November. In an online video promoting the “Power of 10” campaign by his American Solutions for Winning the Future (ASWF) 527 group, Gingrich rails against the “genuinely radical, secular socialist machine” of the “Obama-Pelosi-Reid team” who “simply run over the beliefs and values of the American people.” Images of Tea Party rallies and the right-wing enemies list — Michael Moore, Sean Penn, and Katie Couric — scroll by as Gingrich pleads for “we the American people” to “go all out”:
You know, I don’t remember any time in American history where we had such a threat to our basic way of life: A genuinely radical, secular socialist machine ramming things through with no regard for American values or the beliefs of the American people.
