For Richardson ... support among conservatives showed that his political strategy of trying to appeal to as many voters as possible— with tax cuts in particular— was paying off, Sanderoff said.

Even though his tax cuts are somewhat slight of hand (give from one hand, take from the other) and more easily given with the current strength of the State's oil and gas economy, just the fact that he can say "tax cut" bolsters his support. This brand of populism resonates with the voters more so than Hillary's shrill "We'll take your money for 'common good'" speech and the Democrats would be well versed to follow Richardson's lead. Unfortunately, for the rest of us, he's cast in the Slick Willie mold with public statements of concern hiding back room deals, free trips from rich campaign supporters and cushy state jobs for political pals.

The latest I've heard is he will be lilely traveling to Sudan to obtain the release of a reporter captured in the religious/ethnic violence there.

Yeah, but Dendahl is a weird angry old guy. I wouldn't even vote for him.

The NM Republican party is hopeless....
