I don’t know what’s up with Gary Johnson (most of his support was soft I guess) but he’s running a bad 3rd in every recent poll so I see no reason not support Mark Rich, Heinrich will unfortunately win with at or around 50%, seeing him get in with 47 or 48% would reek of a missed opportunity.
Johnson is back about where I thought he might be. He was never a serious contender despite LS’s high hopes. Heinrich may win with under 50%, but there was never going to be a way to merge the opposition to him under one candidate. Gov. Martinez probably should’ve run, even if she didn’t pull it out. She would’ve forced the Dems to spend a lot of money here.
I think you get “hard” Rs that won’t flip-—but if Rich had thrown his support, I’m pretty confident Johnson would have made a real race of it.
Rich has never gotten out of the 20s.
