He is too socially liberal for the evangelical/teabagging crowd. Just like Mike Castle.

Title: Re: NM/PPP: Bingaman in good shape, open seat competitive if Johnson were to run Post by: feeblepizza on February 08, 2011, 01:13:41 PM I'm hoping now that Bingaman retires so that Johnson can have the opportunity to run.

GO JOHNSON!

He is too socially liberal for the evangelical/teabagging crowd. Heather Wilson was effectively attacked by Pearce as "too moderate" back in 2008.

He is too socially liberal for the evangelical/teabagging crowd. Heather Wilson was effectively attacked by Pearce as "too moderate" back in 2008. Bearing in mind, that's Steve Pearce. The guy's a bit laughable. Seems to me that the Tea Party loves Johnson, anyway, if this forum is anything to go by. Title: Re: NM/PPP: Bingaman in good shape, open seat competitive if Johnson were to run Post by: King on February 08, 2011, 10:11:37 PM I doubt Johnson is interested in the Senate. Surprising how well Lujan and Heinrich do against Wilson. I'd laugh if Pearce is dumb enough to give up his seat so he can get slaughtered statewide again.
I don't think Bingaman runs for re-election. GOP needs to find a new name. That's how they the Governorship. Title: Re: NM/PPP: Bingaman in good shape, open seat competitive if Johnson were to run Post by: Lief 🗽 on February 08, 2011, 10:14:43 PM Lujan can win a statewide election? Sweet!
Title: Re: NM/PPP: Bingaman in good shape, open seat competitive if Johnson were to run Post by: feeblepizza on February 09, 2011, 01:17:01 PM Johnson definitely would win the GOP primary. New Mexico has an open primary and a lot of Democrats/independents would cross over to vote for him. Plus, New Mexicans (:P) are more liberal than others around the country, including Republicans.
Title: Re: NM/PPP: Bingaman in good shape, open seat competitive if Johnson were to run Post by: JohnnyLongtorso on February 15, 2011, 06:23:44 PM Johnson wouldn't even be a lock for the primary: (http://publicpolicypolling.blogspot.com/2011/02/johnson-weak-with-nm-republicans.html)
Quote Johnson's not the choice of Republican voters when it comes to who they want to take on Jeff Bingaman in next year's Senate race either. 35% say their first pick would be Heather Wilson, followed by 27% for Johnson, 17% for Steve Pearce, 6% for Matt Chandler and Dianna Duran, and 4% for John Sanchez.

Wilson 35% Johnson 27% Pearce 17% Chandler 6% Duran 6% Sanchez 4% favorability / unfavorability among GOP primary voters: Johnson 46 / 33% Pearce 69 / 16% Wilson 71 / 18% Title: Re: NM/PPP: Bingaman in good shape, open seat competitive if Johnson were to run Post by: King on February 18, 2011, 09:58:32 PM lol Steve Pearce 17% after the voters rejected him soundly in 2008? You can see why the New Mexico is quickly turning into a Vermont-like Dem haven.
