NM-PPP: Martinez popular, leads King

[Badger]

Very unlikely King is the nominee. He's having trouble raising money and finished 5th in the state convention.

Still, surprised he's this close.

Who do you think the likely nom is?

Bruce King, King's father served as gov in 1970's. So, it is possible for King to win.

Well, who can argue with that logic?

It's always such a crapshoot in the primaries here and it's not until June. My money is on State Sen. Howie Morales.  He's young and less baggage.  There's also this Alan Webber guy, who's a big Santa Fe True Leftist type that could end up doing strong.

Nobody's going to beat Martinez, though. She's way too inoffensive.  As I've said before, she's more of a Dixiecrat than a Republican.

Republicans better hope King loses the primary, as the other candidates are well behind Martinez in this poll as expected. King is the only one keeping it tight for Democrats.
