Many people are trying to get credit for Tim Kellers great victory in the ABQ Mayor's race first round of voting. Some even suggest that Bernie Sanders endorsement was key. What rubbish. Keller won by having a smarter and leaner campaign that wasn't concentrating on spreading fear and hate. That seems to have sailed right over the head of City Councillor Dan Lewis who is already doing the attack approach. He says Keller will be soft on crime. Lewis has stood by as a Councillor for years while our Police Department imploded and crime got out of hand. He gave only lip service to it and now is trying to push the blame off on others. Weak.
The ABQ Free Press has gone the way of so many good and hard hitting news and investigative organizations. They closed down with little fanfare. The fact is that you can not survive as a real news outlet by asking for donations to support you. It is sad but true. And those journalists who worked there can't subsist on minimum or no wages at all.

The only folks who should take credit is Tim Keller and his team. They worked harder than anybody.
Tim deserves all the credit. He exceeded many's expectations and I believe that he will cruise to victory. Hopefully, he can surround himself with the right folks to improve our community. If you think about it, he has an awesome opportunity to have this springboard to higher office if he can pull off the makeover of Burque.
Tim Keller ran such a great campaign, and that's why he won such a huge victory. It wasn't because of Bernie Slanders and the Burnouts. They, as usual, are so full of themselves.
