I started listening in the San Gabriel Valley in the early 70’s – Pomona College was the best!

And remains so.

Thank you.

Have you seen anything recently on Madrid/Wilson in New Mexico?

nope

Last I heard, about noon, Madrid had closed to within something like 86 votes.

I don’t know if the 2004 race is instructive to this one. Wilson’s district is very hefty in retired federal and military personnel, who are often not around on election day, so absentee votes figure in prominently. In 2004, Romero was up by a couple of thousand votes on the day after the election, and then they started counting the absentees, and he ended up losing by something like 22,000 votes.

Absentees will figure prominently in this race, but having just checked the SoS site (unofficial results only), there’s one precinct outstanding (which could be absentees), and Madrid is down by about 1200 votes.

Holy Crap Batman. Whatever can be done anywhere else (everywhere else, in this case) cannot be done in New Mexico.

Living in NM I was able to hear one “debate” between the two candidates. First of all, let me say that I pulled the trigger for the Democratic slate. But, secondly, I was appalled at Madrid’s performance at the debate. Certainly Ms. Wilson continued to spout only the Bush talking points, but Madrid was totally lame and had no comeback when accused of taking $100k from a corporate contributor. She needs elocution lessons, a vocal coach and a brain, IMHO. Talk about holding your nose and voting.

The shame of it is that the Dems here couldn’t find a better candidate. Halliburton Heather was eminently beatable.

Sorry. This one for me goes under the tinfoil hat with the Wellstone plane crash conspiracy.

Ron Brown, Mel Carnahan, and a few others are all easily explained by, for instance, a small twist of a screwdriver if you understand how aviation systems work at the technical level

Another drive-by: Well done, team. Well done. DAMN well done. We got the Senate too. Much remains…but for tonight, all should party. I’ll be late for work tomorrow, for tonight I have a date with the bartender and glasses of Jamesons. Everyone pat yourselves on the back. We made it up the hill, and we’re still able to fight.

Damn good job. Damn good. Blessings to all.

The Manchurian Candidate was always a prop. The sharpshooter missed. They meant for him to succeed, and then who would be in charge? This crime family has an intent to take power over the decades. Watch and learn.

Gotcha
