Why would the governor of New Mexico go to LA to announce his candidacy? Nothing like dissin’ your homeboys in Nuevo Mejico eh?
He’s just cadging for a VP spot with whoever wins the nomination for that party. As usual he is disingenuous and not too bright. I guess he went to LA to get more publicity - not enough press coverage in Santa Fe or Albuquerque. Anyway, not to worry - nobody is going to vote for Goober Pyle for president.
