Memorial Day in a "Swing State"
It's definitely a federal election year in New Mexico. Both of the presumed presidential nominees are here in our lovely "swing state" on Memorial Day (John McCain in Albuquerque and Barack Obama in Las Cruces)--addressing veterans groups. I caught some of McCain's address as I was walking my dog this morning, and while it's great to hear candidates talking about their commitment to veterans (by way of readjustment, benefits, education, etc.)--it's really aggravating to hear someone say one thing (fourth paragraph down) but do the exact opposite. Anyway, I hope that the community is taking note of these discrepancies, and not letting the "glitzy-bling-like attention of the celebrity-swing-state status" blind them.... |
