The bishops in most of the USA have said Obama is totally unacceptable. I have never seen them so insistent. Obama will not win New Mexico. I know people who know hard core Dem part machine operatives who can deliver the Mexican American vote in the state. These people have been at it for decades and their families have probably lived in NM for 300 years. They are working for McCain this year. They know Richardson.
People are saying Richardson will deliver NM for Obama. Only problem is Richardson is up against a more powerful force which he will not cross - the Catholic Church. These people take their faith very seiously and the Bishop has told the faithful - do not even think about it.
The Church has good intelligence on Obama and his trips to Pakistan and the trouble he is causing in Kenya for Christians. Obama is a Muslim. Devout hispanic Catholics in the SW think he is the anti christ. This is no joke.
The bishops in PA are telling the faithful the same thing. The church is very careful not to meddle too much in elections. This year with Obama it is different.
The Bradley Effect is starting to kick in!
