He talks so much ****, but in reality.. honestly, he would be just as worse as richardson and all those other crooks, I hate people who think they can do better so they talk and talk but once they are in office they will truly understand what it is like. They too will hit the solid brick wall!
I did not know he was interested in running? If I had a choice between him or one of the crooks (Marty, Richardson and the likes). I would give my vote to Nuch.

He would be just as worse? I don't know what you are trying to say.
A) I think he's actually pretty darn mild compared to other bigger markets for talking pundits or "on air" (meaning TV or radio, etc.). Here in Milwaukee, we have a pundit talk-show host who I actually generally agree 100% with, however, is much more rude and abrasive.
I am not saying he's always genial, however, he lets tons of callers - libs and conservatives alike - as well as some nut jobs (and nut jobs a plenty call his show) at least have their say.
There is a regular "Johnny" guy that calls in to his show - a nut job through and through - but 'Nuc always takes his call and lets him have his say.
B) The rude and abrasive thing is more "schtick" than anything.
Comeon now...and be HONEST to yourself...tell me you don't laugh out loud many times when they rip a bit on a foolish caller.
If you don't, well then I respect that you just don't like sarcasm...the world would probably be better if we all felt that way. However, a lot of what he does if/when he does get sarcastic is more or less done for ratings, entertainment, and laughs...you can't argue with the numbers...lots of people in ABQ eat it up.
I really though don't think he's all that bad with the rudeness thing.
Anyway, he's kind of odd politically to me. He professes to be a libertarian, wihch for the most part is a political view more conservative than even Republicans (although allowing for maybe some more commonality with Dems in a few social issues), but then he'd be the first person to support heartily guys like Bill Richardson...who, whether you like him or not...would generally not garner support from a pure-bred libertarian.
Anyway, sure, I would vote for the guy under certain circumstances. Depends what office he was running for, and more in particular, who he was running against.
I don't think it'll ever come to that though. I hope (and pray) that the government stays away from legislating free speech by way of paid-for television programming. Whether it be ultra-liberal Keith Olbermann or ultra-conservative Rush, the government has no damn business getting involved with any of their programming.

I agree with everything you say, Government stay away. Let the market decide who stays on the air and who doesn't.
Yes, Jim is a little different, his support for Richardson really blew us away. We were still in NM at that time.
No, I don't think he will really run, I think it is more talk than anything, but we will soon see.

Remember Jim's former co-host Richard Eeds? Rich was the Assistant Program Director for 770 KKOB and helped Richardson w/ his Presidential campaign. That's why Richard went off the air. I don't know if he will come back on the air or not....

I believe he got a pretty high up job with the NM Department of Tourism (lucky son of a gun.).
He interacted well with 'Nuc, although I like Billy Cornelius' interactions with him too.
