Anybody but Romney?

Good analysis — worth reading the entire thing.

Worst-case scenario for Republicans – CNN.com

Romney’s base problems were revealed in the fact that he lost North Dakota to Santorum, despite winning the state easily four years ago.

But it was Virginia that perhaps best revealed the depth of anti-Romney sentiment. Because of arcane and frankly idiotic ballot access rules, Romney had the Virginia ballot all to himself with the exception of Ron Paul. The Libertarian congressman won just 4.5% of the Old Dominion State vote four years ago. This year Paul won 40%, while Romney cleared 60%. That almost tenfold increase provided Paul’s best percentage showing of the night and served as a way of gauging just how committed some conservatives are to voting for someone other than Romney.

Sunport runway closing for repairs for a month

You might be seeing more planes flying in and out of Albuquerque in routes you’re not used to.

That’s because a major runway at the Albuquerque Sunport is closing for repairs for about a month.

Construction started Monday on the east/west runway.

All commercial traffic will use the northeast/southeast runway in the meantime.

Airport officials say Nob Hill and Southeast Heights neighborhoods could be affected by the runway closure – but say it all really depends on air traffic at the time of landing.

Crews will be installing more efficient LED center-line lights and replace sections of the concrete.
