Gov. Susana Martinez of New Mexico was endorsed as “Mama Grizzly” by Sarah Palin in 2010. Is she Conservative enough to be on the GOP Ticket in 2016? Here are her views on issues important to Conservatives:
Immigration: Stop the magnet for human trafficking, fraud and crime. (Jan 2013). Secure border; deny licenses & tuition to illegals. (Nov 2010)
Gun Control: At age 18, carried gun as security guard for dad's company. (Aug 2012) Opposes restrictions on the right to bear arms. (Aug 2010)
Abortion: Per The Christian Coalition Voter Guide, Martinez opposes abortion. Opposes a woman’s unrestricted right to abortion and opposes government funding abortions.
Gay Marriage: Per The Christian Coalition Voter Guide, Martinez strongly opposes same-sex marriage. Strongly Supports Amendment to prevent same sex marriage:
Health Care: Opposes Government-run Health care.
Expanding the Military: Provide more jobs & build more cemeteries for veterans, Protect government jobs at our labs and military bases, $1,000 tax credit for hiring returning veterans
If she brings NM to the Red side, I can see it but I’m not sure this is possible.
I’d rather keep her in NM trying slowly to turn it back to Red.
She also supports Right to Work.
No, but electability has to come into play also.
I agree completely.
A Cruz-Martinez ticket or a Walker-Martinez ticket would both pull heavy support.
I'm currently favorinf Cruz with Walker as a 2nd choice.
I'm interested in some HONEST LEADERSHIP to try to fish America out of the $hitter.
Conservatism IS electability. When we run moderates, we lose.
And we can't choose our candidates based on what the left thinks of us, or based on trying to prove them wrong.

“Is she hot?”
She’s a hell of a lot prettier than The Hag.
She isn’t hot or a babe, but, she is a pleasant, attractive lady not a hag like Hillary and Lizzie.
I think she’s the perfect level of attractiveness to get the Lady vote. Not so pretty the women don’t feel jealous. Not so nasty that the women think “I can understand why so many people are attacking her looks”.
I really do hope that she is on the Ticket in the VP slot.
Like John McCain, or Mitt Romney, or Jeb Bush?
