This was the headline of my local paper (Albuquerque Journal) this Morning - in bold print - main headline! Martinez is the DA running against the democrat Denish (current Lt Governor under Bill Richardson). It would be a disaster if Denish becomes our state's next governor.

As soon as I saw this headline, I went to the Martinez web site and made a second contribution.

Folks, in addition to contributions to New Mexico candidates, this is the first election where I have made contributions to candidates outside my own state (NC, AZ, NV, just to name a few). If you live in New Mexico (or even if you don't, but just want to help elect more Republicans this November), then please consider a donation of whatever you can manage for Susana Martinez. Here is a link to here Donation Page:

I'm hoping enough Freepers will see this and 1) donate and 2) send the link to all your friends and encourage them to forward the link to their friends and donate as well. A 7-to-1 advantage is just too much and we need to help Susana turn that around! She can win this election, but my fellow New Mexicans - we must help her all we can!

I heard Mrs. Martinez speak on the radio yesterday. I was VERY impressed. She made the point that although dems outnumber Republicans 3 to 1 in NM, many of the Hispanics hold Republican values. She used to be a dem until someone explained to her and her husband the difference of values in the two parties and they realized that they were actually Republicans. She can help fellow Hispanics see the light as well. She’s the real deal.

The obvious difference is that Martinez just finished a competitive primary, where she spent the money she'd raised, while Denish did not have a primary and has been hoarding cash.

Plenty of time to make up lost ground, and the primary win was great for Martinez.

I’d like some Freeper opinion as to why all the GOP’s most promising are women? (this is a legitimate question, not a complaint :-)

Thanks JaguarXKE ~ pinging the NM list!

Don’t be surprised if the RGA starts to pump money and resources into this race. It was rumored it was the RGA who got Palin involved in this race.

She was on the Laura Ingraham show the other day and I was hoping that would boost her fundraising somewhat. Laura put a link to Martinez’s website and encouraged her listeners to help. Maybe some biggies like Hannity and/or Beck could help out if she gets on their shows.

I have also made small contributions (they add up) to conservatives outside my home state of Colorado. I agree, we must do this.

Thanks for the Susana Martinez heads up.
