My Friend Ramesh
First of all. To all the UNC supporters out there. Is this man Ramesh Lawrence Maharaj really what you want? Ramesh who you perceive to have brought down the UNC government the last time and then has the audacity to say that that’s all a lie. So why did he get thrown out of the party? But that’s beside my point. I figure if people are still going to vote for the UNC after that then they’ve left no room for reason.
My concern is why would Patrick Manning come out and say that at this juncture. Manning can’t possibly think that he stands to benefit directly from his statement. He’s most likely thinking (and hoping) that:
- The COP has put a negligible dent into the following of the UNC.
- The number of undecided voters coming over to the COP is minuscule and at the very least, unproven.
- The UNC thus still poses a big enough threat to grab power from the PNM.
- He needs to level the playing field a little between the UNC and the COP.
The only thing Mr. Manning didn’t say was, “Remember what Ramesh do allyuh, vote COP!” Mr. Manning must think that in order for him to win this war, he must help the COP win the battle between themselves and the UNC.
That’s the only thing I can think of. Anyone else have a theory?

i was thinking the same thing… i asked my pops if manning crazy… that statement could only Strengthen the COP…
Jill have some sense there cause a co-worker of mine says that a vote for the COP is a VOTE for the PNM clearly he is voting UNC even in the light of the allegations by the PM that he also believes to be true… my answer was why he just didn’t vote PNM since he believes they are winning anyway…
WINNERS VOTE PNM
I wrote in one of posts on my blog about Sheep and

Jill I think that he thinks that COP has very little support, so all he is doing is trying to prevent a UNC victory.
Bandwagonist, yeah I’ve heard that UNC rhetoric before. The frightening thing is that it sounds like they really believe it.
