I'm replying to everyone on this thread (something I almost never do) who may not have heard the "rest of the story." There was a thread about this on the News/Activism forum which I suggest you all read:
Gov. Martinez’s campaign manager shouts profanities at pro-lifers

Being that I live in NM, I just got off the phone with Susana's office. The young lady I spoke with has been fielding questions about this all day (the young lady was very pleasant by the way). Turns out, they were outside McCleskey's home and they were showing very graphic images where young kids could see them. At one point a young boy went inside crying at what he was being shown. As a practicing Catholic, I'm definitely pro-life, but I don't abide these kinds of tactics, and definitely with indifference to young kids. He was responding as a parent and, frankly, I would probably do the same thing if this group showed up with those graphic signs and my kids saw that.
Could he have handled it differently? Yes, but it sounds to me like this group was looking to provoke some reaction they could then use. The story as presented by this group does not tell the whole story.

Seeing and agreeing with that explanation, I also agree with Carthego delenda est that McCleskey is not helping Susana's re-election campaign any as he is the source of irritation with many that reflects badly on her.
We figured he was annoyed at something, it is what came out of his heart when he was angry, that was revealing.
Sometimes someone blurts out something that can’t be taken back, because once revealed, it can’t be rehidden.
