Distraction-Solution

I think Jeff Armijo has done the right thing by dropping out of his race for State Auditor. The way politics works these days the 'Rovian" spin masters would have painted every Democrat running for office as being part of the alleged crime committed by Armijo. That won't happen now much to the credit of the Governor. Armijo was a hard worker and it was probably against his nature to drop out, but these charges could ruin him if he doesn't devote time to defending himself.

We are now entering the home stretch on this midterm campaign. Labor day activities will start a very intense two months for all of the candidates. I am feeling good about the race. My polls show me widening the lead against my opponent but he has amassed a small fortune from the oil and gas industry and others who do business with the land office. I am certain their donations will fund a nasty and negative campaign to keep their 'own' land commissioner in office. It should be an interesting fall season.
