Gary King.

He's our duly selected Democratic nominee for Governor.

Does anyone think he has any kind of chance to win?

Martinez is such a disaster, and every frigging time I hear her referred to as a "Rising Star" in the Republican party I just want to vomit.

No chance to win.
He has been a weak AG of New Mexico and will be a weak candidate for Governor.
I voted for Alan Webber yesterday. Low turnout very depressing.

We had such a weak slate of Dem candidates that the national D party has decided to give up on us.

La Tejana seems to be a "teflon" candidate. All the corruption in her administration just seems to fall off.

I am resigned that we have her for four more years. OY

He at least had money.

I'm a relative newcomer to New Mexico, only here six years now, and I just don't get a lot of the state politics.

the race is close between them.

I have been urging him to make a big deal out of her affiliation with the Koch brothers. Also to strengthen the medical marijuana program.

Susana is scary and is only going to get worse.

of the political ads, although I understand Susanna has been pounding away at him. I have seen some things (in the paper, I think) that indicate he is not as far behind as might be expected.

I got a phone call yesterday from someone connected to his campaign asking me to vote for him in November. I said it was a done deal.

Basically, he shoved his foot so far down his own throat you could see his big toe hangin' out his bunghole.

disgustedly,
