Marty in the Middle's desperation is showing. The Almighty Alcalde was humbled by the 2nd (and maybe even 3rd) place showing in Sunday's Albuquerque Journal poll and now he's pulling out all of the stops.
Prior to the release of the Sanderoff poll, Marty had been aiming all of his vitriolic might at R.J. Berry. Since Sunday, Marty's Minions have been alternating attacks between Romero and Berry. Monday featured an email from Councilor Ken Sanchez aimed at trashing Romero by associating him with Republicans.
Yesterday, Howard Dean hit the phones with Democrats on behalf of the beleaguered mayor and today, former Councilor (and card carrying Marty-crat) Craig Loy was pestering Republicans.
So what's this all about? Until Sunday, Marty believed that at the very least he was in 2nd place. The Journal poll shocked The Almighty Alcalde by showing that not only was he in 2nd place, but could very well be in third behind Richard Romero - which would put Marty out of any possible runoff.
The sudden change of strategy indicates that Marty is desperate to find a way to at least hold on to 2nd place. Right now, it doesn't look as though anyone will be able to reach the magic 40% even though with 19% undecided it's certainly possible.
Marty not only needs to bring down Berry, but he needs to put some distance between himself and Romero. The only problem with his new approach is that unlike previous years, Marty has finite resources. If he splits them, he may not be able to achieve either objective and may be (or perhaps already has been) overtaken by the hard charging Romero campaign.
With only 5 days left in the campaign, a single mistake could cost any of the three candidates the election. Bringing in a couple of has-beens like Loy and Dean and attempting to attack both opponents may very well leave Marty on the outside looking in.

So, with lots and lots of film companies in Albuquerque.... I wonder how Marty Farty can after banning COPS from filming in 2004
because he didn't want Albuquerque to be seen with high crime.... now, have Albuquerque a "Sanctuary City." What about the dating service, "It's Just Lunch," and how his false, factually incorrect information was obtained and released without a fact check?
It seems as though, the only person marty farty needs to keep from being filmed is marty farty! lol!
This week is a great feeling that the polls show marty fart behind....
After the polls, I felt like a person on a remote island that had finally been rescued.
No more City Corruption, vote for a new City administration!
Get out and vote for Romero or Berry, but vote for a change. No more corrupt cops!
Loy is just trying to keep his buddy Schultz employeed. Schultz must go! Way too much corruption in the Police Dept. Look at all the problems with his SID Unit and he's done nothing but protect his friends that work there!
This Democrat voted early for Romero. I hope he wins, but I would not be disappointed if Berry won. I'm sick and tired of Marty and his dirty tricks. Romero or Berry for me.
Craig Loy is a "TOOL" and a sell out.
This sounds like an episode of the “Shield” (dirty cops, dirty politicians and drug dealers). Everybody is calling for Chief Ray Shultz’s head on a platter but what about Chief Public Safety Officer Pete Denali. It’s his department, if he can’t control what’s going on he needs to go too.
Either Richard would be a win-win for this fine city. CRAIG LOY IS A TOOL, HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A TOOL. LOOK AT HIS CLOSE FRIEND ROB, ALSO A TOOL!
With all the distain for the Obama antics on both sides,(Dems&Rep)
Howard Dean coming to Marty's defense will certainly work against him. Obama + Dean = Marty.
I don't think that resinates well with the voters, whether your a 'D' or an 'R'. Haward Dean is an embarrassment.
Good luck with that endorsement.
Speaking of embarrassments; Craig Loy? Please !! He's a Fake Republican for sure, like Payne.
He (Loy) is the most liberal cop ever on the PD. Most annoying for sure.
Good luck with that endorsement as well.
Keep selling Real Estate (shacks) through your ACORN connections to people who can't finance a loaf of bread.
Stay out of politics. You're not doing Marty any favors.
Bad advice Joannie. Stop being so desperate. It's showing. You too should stay out of politics and just focus on your escort service.
Ally forces approaching from the West, Russian troops pushing from the East. Marty's about where Hitler was.
Time to go to the bunker with Eva (Joannie) Brahn.
Romero & Berry; time to snuff out this dictator and capture Berlin.
Who is the Marty Farty Gal, your killing me. haha, enough already. Maybe your too close to his rear. LOL
" Roll over Beethoven"
That's what the feds are saying.
Who will it be?
Sunday will be like Pearl Harbor.
Get out your shit shields, you're gonna need them.
I agree. It's going to be a shit storm on Sunday.
Marty for Mayor. Romero is a liberal liar, Berry has no experience
Chief Schultz is himself responsible for the bogus information being fed to the press about RJ Berry that is now appearing in Chavez ads. Chavez has crossed the line and Schultz is using a law enforcement agency as a tool for a political campaign. I used to respect the chief, but he just proved that he has no character and this should be investigated by an outside agency.
The chief deserves no respect, as he offers no leadership to the department. The only ones who think so are the ones hoping to get promoted.
Whoever is from the Marty campaign still posting, get real. You should be like all the other rats on your sinking ship and jump before you're underwater. The classifieds are online 24/7, good luck getting a job in this economy!
CHIEF RAY WHY DON'T YOU TAKE CARE OF ALL THE PROBLEMS YOU HAVE AT SID. THEMAYOR IS GOING TO BE VERY PISSED OFF WHEN YOU COST HIM THE ELECTION FOR LETTING YOU BUDDIES GET AWAY WITH ALL THAT CORRUPTION.
marty for mayor WTF you must be the lil hitler himself or one of the at will employees at APD. by by by by by birdies
GET RID OF THE BOARD< GET RID OF JOEY... WE need this now more than ever
"GET RID OF THE BOARD< GET RID OF JOEY... WE need this now more than ever"
Here's a better idea...why don't YOU leave. You have done nothing to assist any Officers. All you do is whine and hide.
I'm sure that with the training your received at APD you will have no problem finding employment in another city or state.
Bye, don't let the door hit you in the azz on your way out!
Lets all write the names of 5 people that we could put on a ballot to go against JOEY,,,,,,
You guys are killing me with all this Marty Farty stuff! How bout this riddle: "Marty Farty had a post-election party - nobody was there; he looked around for Schultz but then realized he was in Marty's underwear!" Just to have a little fun before the storm begins! I agree with any of the two Richards would be better. Does anyone think Marty Farty refers to them as the "two Dicks"? He sure will after the election!
Five People that can go against Joey? I'm not sure who I would choose.... Who would the APD Officers like to see replace Joey?
No one had the intestinal fortitude to run against him last election.
There are just a few with big mouths and tiny testicles spewing hatred about the board without having any factual basis (just rumors).
I hope the news tracks down and interviews the case agent on the Berry case. I know he is fuming over the clear violation of the oath of office by the powers to be. The 5th floor collected information on the case. It was passed to the Mayor's office for personal gain (to try and keep all their jobs). That information was then twisted and out right lied about possibly jeopardizing the entire criminal case!
Not to mention what ever happened with the domestic cover up and destruction of public records when the CAD history and report itself was destroyed. Where was the FBI investigation on that.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely! It is time for change alright
Anyone but Marty Chavez!!!!!!!!!
Please get out and Vote For Change.
No more corruption!
Who's Joey?
WE need a president who is not afraid of what to do. We need someone who is outspoken and will not stab you in the back. Joey is a liar and constantly tells everyone about priviledged information he received about other officers. Hey Joey, does Rashai know you arent divorced yet?
When a Pop Culture National Icon, Mr. Bill, from Saturday Night Live has some pretty strong words against Martin Chavez, then you know that corruption in Albuquerque is really bad.
Was it too negative during the time that the families of the slain victims to not air their names and images?
Loy was worthless!!!!!!
Paul Heh for Prez
Paul Pacheco for prez
Dawne Roberto for prez
all very active and unafraid to speak up against the admin...
It' s ok, with marty farty gone... voted out.... their will be a new Police Chief, too! APOA will not have to negotiate with extortionists like marty farty!
Have the drug dealer helper 34's been fired or indicted yet?
