I'm convinced it's liberal media hype - repeat it enough and it's believed and repeated again.
However, I believe she would not accept the VP role in 2016 if it was offered. Her family is very important to her. She is the primary caregiver to an older developmentally-disabled sister with the mentality of a five-year old. She has taken care of the lady with the help of others, but is never far from her. I think her role, after she serves a second term as governor, will be to offer her opinion on Hispanic issues to the party, help in fundraising and support of candidates who agree with her moderately conservative views.
I was mentioning the margins because I don't believe an anti-amnesty stance would appreciably hurt the Republicans at the polls. Republican's have the voting Hispanic votes they are going to get. From what I've seen the (voting) Hispanics in NM are pretty much from families that have been in the region for many years (centuries sometimes) and are little different than the later coming Anglo families in values. The Hispanic being a little bit more devout and family orientated if anything.
I would like Susana give a major speech at the 2016 convention at the very least.
