Sarah Palin was in ABQ this morning and gave her support to Susana. IMO Susana has the best chance to win the election in a state where Hispanics and Native Americans are a majority and Anglos a minority. Her positions are conservative and her candidacy is attractive to those who look beyond the primary where the winner will face Richardson's Lt.Gov who is also a woman.

Susana Martinez On the Issues:

• Smaller government that is open and transparent
• Root out corruption in Santa Fe
• Securing the border a top priority
• Prosecute those who violate our laws (As DA, Prosecutes over 600 cases related to border security every year in her county)
• Repeal the law that allows illegal immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses.
• Opposes providing illegal immigrants with free tuition
• Tougher laws to protect children, the disabled and seniors
• Strengthen DWI laws
• Reinstate the death penalty
• Opposes raising taxes
• Supports cutting spending
• Eliminate programs that don’t work
• Supports balanced budget
• Create new jobs in NM by lowering corporate taxes
• Cut red tape (excessive regulations)
• “A” rated by NRA
• Pro-Life - recommended by New Mexico Right to Life
• Big gov’t not the solution to health care problems
• Individuals need to take responsibility for their own health care.
• Will work to pass tort reform legislation
• Stop throwing money at broken school system – reform it
• Empower parents, raise academic standards, increase school choice and reward best teachers
• Ensure tax dollars go into the classroom, not to a massive education bureaucracy

I just hope Richardson gets whooped! When I worked at a radio station in NM, I had the pleasure of interviewing him. He was rude, pompous, and obviously thinks he’s God’s gift.

And in case you didn’t know it, he’s even more...beautiful... in person. :D

If I lived in NM, she would have my vote.

From leapfrog0202 on another thread:

Weh did nothing for the R party when he was in charge of it, but lead a bunch of infighting and allow that Pearce and Wilson mess. As far as he goes, I feel like why should he get another chance even if it’s for a different job? Polling also shows Weh NOT beating Denish & the big thing is not allowing her to be elected.

How about the Richardson railroad that gets about 1 percent
of operation costs from rider fees?

Who has better chance of winning in November?

I spoke to Susana a few weeks ago at my church about getting the Castle Doctrine in acted in NM and here response was that she would support it. Hopefully having a hard hitting DA as Governor will stop the rampant government corruption so prevalent here in New Mexico.
