Another giveaway in 2018. Old white guy Steve Pearce would be a shoo-in but didn't know his limitations, giving up this seat twice in statewide runs for Senate and Gov. Xochiti Small filled the vacuum in 2018. Close call but a loss. Now there's a rematch. Our candidate lost last time due to dirty tactics but Trump won the WH in spite of them. Will Trump's coattails work? He won by 10% and Xochiti won by only 1.8%. Pearce is bald. That doesn't count? He lost to a young pretty boy(Senate). Tried governorship of a blue state. I'm just saying running someone past the sell-by date reminds me of Biden.
New Mexico-2. My bad.
5th in a series. Tomorrow is NY-22.
Our candidate Yvette Herrell has a checkered past, lost last time to Torres-Small partly becasue local Pubs from her hometown of Alamogordo didn’t support her. She won in a three-way primary in June but wasn’t the best candidate. I’ll hold my nose and vote for her because Torres-Small tries to portray herself as a New Mexican but is really a member of the DC elite who was a stall member for very liberal environmental radical retiring senator Tom Udall.
Because eastern NM-2 is an oil producing area (#3 in the US), it provides 39% of the state budget and she says she supports it (actually got the idiot head of the NM Oil and Gas Association) to endorse her), but she has voted with the Dems 95% of the time these past 18 months. Has lots of splashy DNCC ads all over TV; Dems spending big to keep her in DC.

“Yvette Herrell has a checkered past”
It can only mean we’re not trying hard enough and deserve to lose. Defeat from the jaws of victory.
We should win it..
