I am not worried about Martinez she’s got it in the bag, ‘King’ Bill made sure of that. I love the commerecials showing Denish endorsing Richardson! We need to make sure
Jon Barela beats Heinrich. I wish Jon would run the same type of commerecial as the the one Martinez is unning on the Richardson/Denish connection, but about the Obama/Heinrich connection.
Good stuff. I want Martinez to win this one.
I am so excited about Susana, I doubled Woo-Hoo’d....LOL.
Shoot a Republican governor in NM. Richardson gone. Shoot, if I wasn’t living in AZ and preparing to pull the handle on the most exciting governor’s race of my life (that includes the Gray Davis recall when I lived in CA) I’d consider moving back to New Mexico.
Martinez bump!!
