Now that the elections are over, the fun begins. The vultures are circling.

Well, 3 Dems can switch there parties...

But I like Cervantes as a possible speaker. He is a great guy!
The problem is, Ben. He has so much power that he will probably end up there for 2 more years!

If the dems don't want to lose more seats in 2012, they need to ditch Lujan. When you talk about corruption in NM politics, Lujan is right there near the top of the list.

I say ditch Lujan. I began to grow dissident of him when he used state funds to pave a church parking lot, which i find totally unacceptable. As a Democrat, I'd like to see new leadership. We need fresh blood to lead. I'm all for a new speaker.

You mean private county funds ready to pave other roads that needed it, and FORCED county workers to do it.
Lujan is a typical politician, I hope this is his last term in office!
