MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) -- A congressman seeking to become Alabama's first black governor lost Tuesday to a white Democratic primary opponent who had garnered support from the state's four major black political groups.

Primaries were also held in Mississippi and New Mexico, where Susana Martinez, a prosecutor from southern New Mexico, won the GOP nomination for governor and will face Democrat Diane Denish in a general election race deciding who becomes New Mexico's first woman governor.

If you’re Republican you ain’t really black, and vice versa

Wow for Martinez in our neighboring state. Now this one is going to get interesting.

Only liberals care about color. I’m so sick of hearing “the first black” this or that. Who cares?

Me too. Liberals are incapable of judging on the merits.

“Only liberals care about color. I’m so sick of hearing “the first black” this or that. Who cares?”

and besides, right now ‘black’ isn’t very popular.

The only part of the headline I care about is “Dem . . . loses.” May we see that over and over again as the year rolls on.

Davis lost because the good people of Alabama will not support a liberal fool as governor. There is only one race the human race, but liberal communists beg to differ. We in Alabama have spoken and my vote will go for Dr. Bentley in the primary. Keep the faith my friend.

No guarantee he’ll make the runoff. Vote for Bradley Byrne. He’s the only one who can beat Sparks.
