Berry was a clear winner last night with 43% of the vote. Now maybe he can get rid of that "sanctuary city" label which was bandied about after an illegal alien and career criminal shot and killed a Denny's waitress during an armed robbery earlier this year. He previously committed crimes but the policy was not to inquire about his immigration status. He was eventually found out and deported but came back again to commit crimes.

A devasting blow to the Democrat base of illegals, the deceased and Acorn imposters.

Richard Berry scored an impressive victory Tuesday with an outright win over three-term incumbent Martin Chávez to become Albuquerque's next mayor. Azatlan is saddened.

There is an even more significance to this Republican victory. In the last general election the state of New Mexico lost every election for Congress to Democrats. The state went completely to a Democratic Congressional delegation. Now all of a sudden, a Democratic incumbent mayor (and a long time contending Democratic politician) get handily beaten by an upstart Republican. Granted Berry had been in the state Legislature but Romero was the President of that legislature at one time and had been a candidate for Congress twice. Chavez had so much power he was able to pull a Bloomberg and have a judge overrulte term limits so he could run again.
I just hope this is an indication that the great zero has screwed up the Dimocrats in this country. The New Jersey and Virginia elections next month will be the defining statement on the possible demise of the extreme leftist idiots in Washington. Here is hoping.

I wish we could get photo ID in Texas. It would reduce some of the voter fraud.

Apart from the common sense conservative pitch was there any other hint at what his “message” was?

Any other good news from yesterdays elections? In my town, the wackos won out over the conservatives for city council.

"Unfortunately NM Drivers' licenses are available with no proof of citizenship"
Some states give out wallet-sized copies of birth certificates...I would like to see all drivers' licenses laminated with the license on one side, and the birth certificate on the other, and....
....oops, I forgot, Zero wouldn't be able to drive.
