Weird how the “Hispanic” voters prefer the white boy with the freebies and handouts over the Hispanic woman. Really weird.
The usual groups are looking to spend big against her: Teacher’s unions and state employee unions. She has been battling the former for four years in an attempt to raise student achievement and graduation rates by instituting teacher performance standards, bitterly opposed by the unions. Her pick for Public Education Secretary has been stonewalled in the Democratic legislature for four years, also, with the Senate committee in charge of voting confirmation refusing to take a vote. However, she has supported teacher raises and education ratings have improved from four years ago.
Martinez gets about 36% of the Hispanic vote and she is Hispanic. How could anybody think that a non-Hispanic Republican could get a majority of the Hispanic vote? She’s a VP possibility in ‘16.
No exit polls were done in NM in 2010, but according an estimate by leftist pro-shamesty outfit “America’s voice” (so, grain of salt), Martinez lost the Hispanic vote in 2010 by 61%-38%. But she doubtlessly did better than an “Anglo” would have.
