I figured I had the best quote of the day in New Mexico politics in my story on Joe Cervante's challenge to House Speaker Ben Lujan.
I was talking with Rep. Andy Nunez, a Cervantes supporter from Hatch, about the possible shift of power from Northern New Mexico to southern. Nunez told me with a chuckle, "Save your Confederate money, boy, the South's gonna rise again."
But I think I was topped in my colleague Robert Nott's story about a school board candidates forum.
There Donado Coviello, the artist formerly known as John Coventry, told the audience. "Even the people who vote you into office eventually hate you. Everybody already hates me, so why don't you save yourself some time and vote for me?"
