We haven’t heard much from the New Mexico gubernatorial race, but it looks like we’re missing an entertaining election, to say the least.

That’s why they go after Clarence Thomas and SP with such a vengance.
Martinez: Join my team. My convictions are a lot different than the convictions of Denish’s supporters.
Hilarious. Morons.
Denish deserves to lose just on the pure stupidity scale.
Mama Grizzlies cannot take control soon enough.
That teacher was a Bush plant.
