Denish/Colon are no big surprise for the fall ticket. As I have said all along this will make the strongest ticket. With these two we will have a winner in the fall election
Denish 98% statewide
Colon 29% statewide
Lawrence Rael was a bit of a surprise taking Bernalillo County by the thinnest margin but we hope that Diane Denish will find a place for him in her administration after the fall election.
Appeals Court Judge Linda Vanzi won in a too close race with Dennis Montoya so we are all more then a little relieved by the results. Just goes to show that in the end the voters always know to pick the best candidate for the higher courts.
Linda Vanzi 54%
We are also so very proud of Judge Tim Garcia and Judge Robert Robles. Judge Robles will need our united support this fall to ensure that the appeals court stays sound.
Commissioner of Lands will be Ray Powell this fall which could not come at a better time since we need a democrat in that office to protect the environment and to provide for our children’s education in the future.
Nice to see that none of the candidates for state representative who took republican money came even close to wining any of their races. Democrats know when someone is not being honest with them.
Close race for Ben Lujan Sr. but he still won by 2%.
District Court Judges
Gerard Lavelle 52.8% Nice!
Shannon Bacon 63.9% No big surprise.
County Commissioner District 1
Michelle Lujan Grisham 47.54 Good job!
Results from Bernallio County Sheriff's Race
Patrick Davis 21.14%
Manual Gonzales III 26.68%
Marie Sisi Miranda 23.84%
A disappointing result but you cannot win them all. Sheriff Gonzales will have to work very hard to win people over to his camp before the general election this year other wise this seat will once again go to the republicans in our county.
Last piece of advice for the day is that all the candidates should take a break and give the voters a break before they launch into the campaign for the fall election. I am sure the husband and wives need a break to reconnect with their other half.

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."

1/1/10 A new year and a number of future elections to cover. The budget will be a major issue this year and we must work hard to protect the core values of our party.
