Hi Mario. (woo hoo! A link to my little blog! I'm moving up in the world!) There is a serious difference between being able to prosecute a voter fraud case and just talking about it in the press.

You and Whitney have blogged about Mr. Iglesias' inability to prosecute voter fraud despite the vast “mountains” of evidence. (her words) I'd like to see all of the evidence of which you speak. Not just a couple of news clips and a couple of stories. I want to see the evidence that a case can be built upon.

Are there instances of voter fraud in this state? Of course there are, no state is without isolated incidents. Was there a vast conspiracy (perhaps a "vast left-wing conspiracy") to commit voter fraud in New Mexico in the last election? I want you to prove it to me. Surely Whitney still has the evidence.

I'll meet you and Whitney at any Satellite in town (gotta shop local ya know) to see the vast mountain of evidence y'all say you have. I'll even buy the lattes.

Ben,

What's this latte crap? If we're getting together to discuss politics, you're buying breakfast burritos at Flying Star (stayin' local).

I've never claimed to have mountains of evidence. I'm neither a lawyer, nor in law enforcement. So, I don't spend a lot of time accumulating evidence to present a case.

As a general rule, I write commentary based on what is already reported in the mainstream media. In fact, this blog was born in part out of my frustration that people have very short memories when it comes to the history of the latest news angle. Blogging is a great way to remind them to consider the context of what they are reading.

As far as Whitney is concerned, you're going to have to take that up with her.

(Lattes? Well someone had to live up to the stereotype around here...)

Breakfast burritos at the Flying Star over a political discussion? Heck I'm down with that! Well I'm allergic to eggs but I'll get an oatmeal. Shoot me an email sometime.

Well, I for one agree with you Mario as evidenced by that cluster f**k of a Congressional election Dist.1, 2006.

Mario:

If you don't even know where to get a good burrito you might as well settle for that latte.
