For the quickest updates, join The New Mexico Independent’s liveblog by clicking here.
Update, 2:10 p.m.
Governor
• Susana Martinez – 46.65 percent
• Allen Weh – 26.32 percent
• Janice Arnold-Jones – 13.16 percent
• Doug Turner – 9.23 percent
• Pete Domenici Jr. – 4.61 percent
Earlier post:
There’s already been some voting at the state Republican Party’s preprimary convention today. Check out the results now, and keep checking back. I’ll keep this blog updated as new results come in.
2nd Congressional District
• Steve Pearce – 92 percent
• Cliff Pirtle – 8 percent
A candidate has to get 20 percent to appear on the ballot, or collect a number of extra signatures before Tuesday if they fail in that task, so Pirtle will have to collect more signatures if he wants to stay in the race.
3rd Congressional District
• Tom Mullins – 80.5 percent
• Adam Kokesh – 19.5 percent
It’s not clear at this point if Kokesh has earned his way on the ballot. There’s some sort of recount going on and there’s also a question about whether numbers should be rounded up. Stay tuned.
1st Congressional District
• Jon Barela – Unopposed and selected by a voice vote
The fight in New Mexico is NOT over folks, Kokesh made claims that DEMOCRATS are changing their affiliations to vote for KOKESH in the primary!!!
More voting to come, lookout New Mexico!

below, i put the link to the last candidate forum between mullins and kokesh.
during the Q and A (somewhere about 20 mins into the first video, after each candidate gives his introductory remarks), someone asked how each candidate was planning on winning. kokesh noted that there was a large democrat crossover registration for the primaries, thus he felt that he would win the primary and ultimately the election with the help of the democrat vote.
my question is this; since the dem candidate is unopposed, there is really no reason why many dems couldn’t just switch their registration, vote in the repub primary and get kokesh nominated. is the NM repub party concerned about this possibility, and if so, what are they doing to address it?

Who is Susanna Martinez? Is she a law and order Republican? Or a pro-amnesty Republican - laws only apply to everyone except Latinos!

She is a solid conservative. I was hoping she got the nod.

Adam Kokesh: A Dishonored Marine
A Vietnam Veteran Speaks Out
Adam Kokesh, candidate for the Republican nomination for the US House of Representatives from the Third District of New Mexico, is doing his best to deceive the electorate. He portrays himself as a libertarian conservative, but he is neither libertarian nor conservative (unless he reinvents himself again). Most egregiously, he is attempting to portray himself as a patriotic anti-war/anti-military veteran in a manner reminiscent of John Kerry and Vietnam Veterans against the War (VVAW), in which Kerry tarnished the valor of his brothers-in-arms in order to advance his political career.
As did VVAW, Kokesh’s Iraq Veterans against the War (IVAW) holds that America is an imperialistic country, that the military is merely a tool of the government, and that our soldiers are little more than marauders and murderers who, in the words of John Kerry, behave “in a fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan.”
I first met Adam when he and a motley group of Code Pink, MoveOn.org, IVAW (Iraq Veterans against the War), and other “representatives” of radical anti-American organizations formed up in front of the Army recruiting station in Washington, DC. Their clear intent was to create a disturbance, but the presence of a few dozen Gathering of Eagles members caused them to reconsider their plans.
I approached Adam and struck up a conversation, during the course of which I learned that he considered himself to be a libertarian. I replied that I considered myself a libertarian, as well, and that perhaps we could agree to disagree on the specific issue of the Iraq war. He seemed amenable to that, but his group reconvened in front of the recruiting station a few weeks later and trashed the place. It was then that I realized that the Adam Kokeshes of the world cannot be relied upon to compromise.
The next time I encountered Adam was last summer at an economic conference in St. Louis. That was when I first learned that he was running for Congress. He presided over a “promote Kokesh” seminar that I attended. He spouted off a basic libertarian message without including any of his own biography, which is, to say the least, nasty. Significantly, he claimed to have been honorably discharged as a sergeant from the US Marine Corps. Both claims are false, as will be demonstrated below.
Adam Kokesh is, in my view, a traitor to his country, and certainly to the United States Marine Corps, in which he “served” as a reservist for several months in a civil affairs unit in Iraq. Upon returning to the States, he enrolled in Claremont McKenna College in California.
While at Clarement McKenna, a pistol was stolen from his car, and Adam dutifully reported the theft to the campus police, who asked him where the pistol came from. Adam said that it was a war souvenir from Iraq, and it was not long before the USMC brought charges against him for smuggling an illegal weapon into the US. His then-pending discharge as a sergeant was changed to that of a corporal.
Adam just didn’t know when to let well-enough alone, because in 2007 he was involved in a street demonstration in DC in which several anti-war protesters were arrested. It seems that he was involved in a bit of street theater in which he led a “combat patrol,” in uniform, to protest the Iraq War. This event was sufficient newsworthy as to cause the Marine Corps to investigate Adam’s involvement in what was obviously an unpatriotic act.
It seems that when the Marine major assigned the investigation contacted Adam by e-mail, Adam replied with a “f__k yourself,” and the Corps thereupon initiated proceedings that resulted in his having his theretofore-honorable discharge downgraded to a general discharge.
Adam then continued to drive nails into his political coffin, as evinced by his visit to the US Army Garrison in Ansbach, Germany. His actions there were, by any measure, seditious, if not downright treasonous. In his own words, Kokesh imparted the following message to our troops:
“We are here to reach out to active duty members of the United States military stationed in Germany and let them know what they can do to help stop the US occupation of Iraq. Soldiers need to know that when they decide to resist, they will have the support and thanks of the global moral majority. We are also here to support the German peace movement. As in the United States, protestors are often dismissed as ignorant and childish, but with the voices of veterans backing them up, they have the credibility they deserve. It is clear that real change will not come from your government or ours, but rather from the righteous voice of compassion.
“The people of Ansbach have chosen to stand up not only to the imperialism of the United States, but also their own country’s history of complicity. The US military has long chosen its own tactical advantage over the consideration of the people in the communities that it affects and claims to protect. It is sad that it has taken so long for Germans to make this stand, but we support them in their opposition.
“Germany has long been complicit in America’s aggression. There is no longer any valid premise for the vast American presence in this country. It is not for your security or benefit, but supposedly for the benefit of America, and it is not in the world’s best interest. The lesson of World War II should not be to remain silent during the next war of aggression.” [Adam Kokesh; May 13, 2007; US Army Garrison, Ansbach, Germany]

Adam Kokesh probably wishes that he had not been so open about his disloyalty, because he is now pretending to be a patriotic, libertarian-leaning, conservative Republican in his congressional campaign. Sorry, Adam; that just won’t wash. You have shown your true colors, and America-loving patriots just won’t let you get away with your masquerade.
Go ahead and renew your ties with the Code Pink/Winter Soldier/George Soros/IVAW crowd. Take off that suit and tie, and let your hair grow long in a John Kerry-lookalike manner. Be what you want to be, as long as it’s not pretending to be an American patriot.

American Patriots Against Kokesh http://americanpatriotsagainstkokesh.wordpress.com/
Reply to : americanpatriotsagainstkokesh@gmail.com
Ron Paul had a rally and Kokesh was one of his prime speakers
I believe it was Glenn Beck's best friend Judge Napolitano. RuPaul also supports Kokesh.
Judge Napolitano seems to be on the wrong side quite often.
your post is a vanity and you should not attribute your words to nmpolitics.net
• Tom Mullins – 80.5 percent
• Adam Kokesh – 19.5 percent
It’s not clear at this point if Kokesh has earned his way on the ballot. There’s some sort of recount going on and there’s also a question about whether numbers should be rounded up. Stay tuned.
Race, I'm unclear what the statement following the numbers mean, could you clarify.
and this is under “breaking news” ? A vanity is “breaking news” ?
thanks for posting this article.
That’s great news. If Susana Martinez is a real conservative; it looks like the country is voting that way.
Goodbye Commies.
Ron Paul is a turd who somehow has blind followers on FR, sadly.
? sorry, Race...I am not clear on this Kokesh guy. What is the deal? He isn’t in the House of Reps right now is he?
I don't know what this statement means, either. Is this something (whatever it is) particular to New Mexico primaries?
