One thing you should know about ...Excellent report. One thing you should know about Richard Romero and the South Valley is that he was disliked very much by the bloc that supported Manny Aragon for decades. Manny represented a South Valley district for many years and was viewed as a champion for the area and minorities in general.<BR/><BR/>When Romero was in the NM Senate, he joined with Republicans (and a couple Dems) to oust Manny as the Senate President Pro-Tem in 2001 and get himself elected to the post. That's why so many told you vehemently that they wouldn't vote for him. He was viewed as a turncoat who cut the power of their NM Senator.<BR/><BR/>Madrid is another story and is on good terms with South Valley Dems. That's why it's expected she'll get a large turnout there to vote for her, which is why Heather's so frightened and is highlighting the issue that many Hispanic members of the military/guard, especially males, support her. You'll notice she's hugging lots of Hispanic men/vets in her initial ad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
