Damn right. My Dad was the communications officer at the Panama Canal in 1945. 2nd Lt. Armin Weber.

It's now clearly obvious that Abigail Spanberger will be Governor of Virginia. And she should and probably will make the short list for Dem VP in 2028 (along with Sen. Elyssa Slotkin and, if she makes it, Gov. Mikie Sherill of N.). Three exceptional leaders are emerging onto the national scene.

If Darren White wins: A tense city lurching from crackdown to crackdown, with aggressive and cruel and militarized law enforcement and overcrowded jails.

If Keller wins: A collaborative community continuing its comeback - optimistic, forward-looking, growth-oriented, and proud.

Yesterday, we took another big step toward recovery, stability, and compassion in our city. We’re investing $2.9 million from opioid settlement funds to expand recovery housing and crisis response through ACS, helping more people find care, stability, and hope.

Albuquerque’s Gateway Center is expanding to reach more people in need. With City and State support, 142 new beds are being added, 92 for men and 50 for women. More safe housing, more treatment access, and more chances to rebuild lives for a stronger Albuquerque.

Yes, #ABQ Mayor Tim Keller said "I don't want your vote." Guess he got upset. It is upsetting when Darren White says we should "unshackle the police" & "take the gloves off in dealing with the homeless." So yes, if you want the police to beat up the homeless, don't vote for Keller. Otherwise . . .

Jeff Tucker, the dipshit opinion writer at the @abqjournal.bsky.social, is actually asserting that the legacy of @mayorkeller.bsky.social can be found in Coronado Park. Yes, Jeff, you're right for once. Mayor Keller closed Coronado Park almost 40 months ago, and this is what he's turning it into:

Mamdani got this from #Albuquerque and
@mayorkeller.bsky.social, who has built up the best 988 response system in the nation from scratch - w/ trained responders who have their own Academy and are as well-trained as our police. That's leadership. Tim Keller is an awesome Mayor!

The U.S. Dept. of Justice, 2024: APD is in full compliance with constitutional policing.

@mayorkeller.bsky.social: It was an "arduous journey" but our police culture is "completely different" and "the change is real . . . Now is no time for turning back." It's time for "seeing it through."

"It was an all-out riot," NM Public Safety Secy & chair of the state corrections council Darren White said in 1999. The 2nd largest prison riot in NM history. Super-violent prisoners were sent to a medium-security (corporate) prison. And prisoners murdered guard Ralph Garcia. White for Mayor? Nope.

Donald Trump: I'll end the Russia-Ukraine War on Day One.

Darren White: I'll end homelessness in Albuquerque on Day One.

At today's debate:

Darren White:
"Mayor, I noticed today that you started referring to me as Day One Darren."

@mayorkeller.bsky.social:
"Day One Darren, the only thing you're gonna do on Day One is break a promise. You're just saying things that are illegal or ineffective or not doable."

Donald Trump: I'll end the Russia-Ukraine War on Day One.

Darren White: I'll end homelessness in Albuquerque on Day One.

"It will be a privilege to work to elect Rudy Giuliani as our next President.” - Darren White, 2007

Does Darren White have Trump Schizo Disorder?

Darren White, October 26, 2024: "Wow, Trump made big gains in NM."

October 28, 2024: "The Trump Campaign has the link back up for tickets to Thursday’s rally."

But just a few months earlier, on March 7, 2024:

One major criticism of the @abqjournal.bsky.social debate yesterday: Why ask about the State Fair -- which is up to the Governor -- instead of asking where they all stand on a higher minimum wage in #ABQ? Which is highly relevant to our lives and which the Mayor for the next 4 years could impact.

Looks like Keller is waiting till Nov 5 to get into an all-out brawl w/ White? Whether Keller gets 37% of the vote or 42% will make a difference in his strategy? And whether Uballez gets 15% or 20%? If Keller breaks 40% on Nov. 4 and White gets 30%, Keller will probably sail to reelection on Dec. 9.
