Media banned from GOP debate, Ogle says

Saturday's GOP congressional debate between Darren White and Joe Carraro is being closed to the media. Candidates will be more "candid" with party insiders if the press is excluded, according to party spokesman, Rory Ogle.
Joe Monahan reported this new development on his blog this morning.
Santa Fe New Mexican reporter, Kate Nash, originally broke the story about the debate in her blog.
A curious aspect of this story is that it highlights the increasing visibility of Ogle, a former Republican state representative (District 28, Bern) as a spokesman for GOP party insiders.
Many will recall that it was Ogle who resigned from the legislature in 2004 after being arrested and charged with aggravated battery on a household member and domestic violence. It was reported that he picked up a twin bed headboard and threw it at his wife, seriously injuring her right hand.
