Having voted for Susana Martinez in both the primary and general election I can safely say Mitt Romney would do far better with Virginia’s Bob McDonnell.
Susana is in the middle of her first term as Governor, New Mexico needs her to say anther 2 years at least. She is also not nearly as conservative as Virginia’s Bob McDonnell.
I could get behind either of those two Gov’s. I think McDonnell has a better chance of bringing his state w/ him. Everytime I’ve seen McDonnell on tv...he has come across very, very well. Smooth, direct and likeable. And from what I’ve seen...very conservative. I really like him.
I do think Martinez would ‘check some boxes’ but may be too soon for her. I would hate to see her get Palinized by the LSM.
