This is a post by contributing writer, Stephen Jones, of Las Cruces, New Mexico.
Silva, Small, Miyagishima
Mayor Ken Miyagishima handily defeated both of his challengers, and two incumbent City Council progressives, Councillors Miguel Silva and Nathan Small, were easily re-elected in the Las Cruces municipal election on Tuesday, crushing their Tea Party-backed rivals by lopsided margins. Joining Tuesday's rout over conservatives, Gregory Z. Smith, another progressive candidate, appeared to have narrowly won his contest as well.
Leading the sweep, Mayor Miyagishima won a second term as Las Cruces Mayor, garnering a landslide 60% of the vote against Councillor Dolores Conner, his closest rival, who took only 29% of the vote despite far outspending Miyagishima, and Michael Ray Huerta who captured 11% of the vote.

That's how you deal with the
Parks Service capitulation to Coca-Cola by canceling a planned ban plastic bottles from sale at the Grand Canyon.
A disgusting turn of events, but fixable by the administration and consumers, beginning now.

Perry's "Oops" Let's Cain Exhale, But Romney Keeps Winning By Default

Flip-flops aside, Romney continues to look rational if the comparison is with the terminally-flawed six-headed Tea Party monster:
Perry/Cain/Bachman/Santorum/Paul/Gingrich.
And poor Huntsman.
