Don’t get on your high horse. I’m a Palin supporter but she isn’t running. You don’t know my alternate preference and certainly I would support Perry if nominated. I’m posting only because I thought it interesting that an ABQ Journal columnist would try to make an issue of this show his bias so blatantly. BTW, it doesn’t matter anyway because by the time NM gets to vote in June it will already be decided.

Thank you for sharing the minutia about Newt. I knew I was impressed with the man for some reason!!

I was really struggling; OBozo - Newt, OBozo - Newt, OBozo - Newt but now my mind is clear and I really think Newt is a better choice than OBozo!
