Will Hillary be the presidential candidate to win the West?
Senator Hillary Clinton won the Nevada Presidential Primary today. It looks like she may have some favor in the Southwest because of President Bill Clinton spending time here helping to support our candidates during the 2006 elections. We all got to see him when he came to Albuquerque to support Patricia Madrid for Congressional District 1 during the 2006 elections. My daughter got a big huge from a very grandfatherly President Clinton during that visit. President Bill Clinton has been very supportive of New Mexico and New Mexicans in the past. Governor Richardson worked in President Clinton's administration as head of the DOE. Our state is also very in favor of research into renewable energy and Hillary has made no secret that she favors that line of attack when dealing with ways to replace fossil fuels such as oil. Senator Clinton also is very supportive of families which may win her votes because of the economy facing a downturn. Lt. Governor Diane Denish and Mayor Martin Chavez have both came out in public support of Hillary for President. Senator Clinton has plans to open an office in downtown Albuquerque today. It looks like Senator Obama may have his work cut out for him if he wants to win parts of the Southwest on February 5. It will be very interesting to see who shows up to court the New Mexican voters in the next few weeks.
Training for the February 5 Democratic Caucus
The Democratic Party of Bernalillo County had its first training session for the February 5 caucus today from 10 am until 12 noon. There was a very good turnout and people asked many questions. People who have worked past elections should show up with an attitude of patient when it comes to new trainees asking questions and older workers wanting more clarity on past problems. Everyone who plans to work the caucus is highly encouraged to show up for one of the training sessions so they know all of the ground rules. The next training session is set for January 24, 2008 from 6 pm until 8 pm at The Plumbers and Pipefitters Hall on 510 San Pedro SE . The trainer made it very clear that all votes would be counted and would count. We in the Democratic Party do not turn voters away or demand ID in order for someone to vote.

Quotes:
Senator Edward M. Kennedy (Teddy)
"For all those whose cares have been our concern, the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives and the dream shall never die."
The O'Coilean (O'Collins)
'A great host with whom it is not fortunate to contend, the battle-trooped host of the O'Coileain."
Abraham Lincoln
"With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations."
From NPR Radio
"Rosa sat so Martin could walk.
Martin walked so Obama could run.
Obama ran so our children can fly!"
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"I awoke this morning with devout thanksgiving for my friends, the old and the new."

"Friendship is loving someone no matter what is in their past. It is accepting the fact that they are human and that they have made their share of mistakes over a life time. Trust is being able to tell your friend the most private secret knowing that they will not judge you. A life is not lived well without that one true and trusted friendship."
Mary Harris "Mother" Jones
"My job is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable"
Albert Einstein
"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."
Will Rogers
"I don't belong to an organized party--I'm a democrat."
President John F. Kennedy, Democrat
“If by a ‘liberal’ they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people—their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties—someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a ‘Liberal,’ then I’m proud to say I’m a ‘Liberal.’”
Martin Luther King Jr.
"Faith is taking the first step, even when you don't see the whole staircase."
Lora O'Brien
"All I can do is share one person's experiences on her own path, not tell you how to walk yours. If a guru is what you are looking for, find another! If I am a teacher, it is because I am already walking the path that you, Dear Reader, may wish to be on. Although each of us must make our own way, I can put up signs at least, and make the way slightly less hazardous for those who wish to walk a similar path."
C. S. Lewis
"Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our lives."
