Bush can ensure victory in New Mexico in Three Steps:
1. In Albuquerque or Farmington give a speech about how the EPA has a responsibility to protect animals, but should do so rationally and responsibly and not at the expense of the people of New Mexico by draining precious resevoires and jepordizing future water supplies. Speak how water policy will be as important as energy policy and should be developed now! From there Seg into how the Natural Gas of New Mexico as a clean fuel has an important role to play in the energy policies of the future.
2. In Los Alamos Stump (pun intended) on his Wildfire speech and point out how he wants to stop our forests from going up in smoke by sensible forest management, rather than shrugging off modern wildfire as a "natural" part of the ecosystem. Hold up the Native Americans in praise for their stewardship of their lands. Thank the men of the Mescalero Apache tribe for risking their lives each summer around the country fighting wildfires. Also thank the citizens of New Mexico for their support of science and the Federal Lab systems, ensure them this long standing role as a backbone of research is one that will only expand under his leadership.
3. In Las Cruces(My home town! Given in spanish which he speaks well) Talk about how the family is the core, and how he believes faith based and community organizations, ones own neighbors and family can help those in need better than welfare and the federal government. Speak to how he would like to promote the family, the values of the people of New Mexico. Thank those members of the military throughout the state protecting our freedom. Thank the citizens of the state for providing much research, and land for training our soldiers and developing new sources of security like Missile Defense. Thank New Mexico for its largely un-publicized and important role in space exploration. Lastly thank New Mexico for Green Chili!
When in New Mexico be seen eating a Green Chili Cheeseburger at the Owl cafe (preferably in San Antonio). Be heard conversing in spanish. Wear a bolo tie or no tie. Do not reference Texas, no matter how badly you want to talk about your ranch in crawford. Do not talk about immigration at all ever. And try not to make any Aggie jokes, wrong aggies anyway... but do talk about Brian Urlacher and Notah Begay.

Excellent.
You should forward your thoughts to the RNC and New Mexico Republican Campaign and also, ask to be placed on the payroll.
You know the territory. Good job!
A Novajo? I listened to a took on tape written by Tony Hillerman about a Navajo tribal policeman. In it, Begay is the name of one of the Navajo families.
It was the first one of Hillerman's books I'd experienced. I'm gonna have to read the others; it was vey interesting
Sounds like a good strategy. Lets hope someone forwards it to his people.
question: What do New Mexicans have against Texas? We Okies find that we generally have more in common with Texas than many of the other states and usually only take to disliking them during football season. And then - for some - it's very serious.
He's in NM today. I wish you'd gotten this to the BC/'04 people before he landed.
Oh well, he'll be back. Get this info to the PLEASE!!
No more Corpus Christi, Sangre de Christo, Los Angeles, ........
(you get the idea...)
Did you get to the rally in Las Cruces? The one here in Albuquerque was great!
