It is so very hard to win a state-wide election in New Mexico when your a Republican. Albuquerque and Santa Fe are strongholds for the Democrats. According to a new poll out in the ABQ Journal, Democrat Michelle Lujan Grisham leads Republican Steve Pearce in the race for Governor.
This is the million dollar race, as both candidates have spent so much money on this election. It is very sad that money rules politics. I have watched the election process in this country very closely since Civic Class in High School and then my first radio job at the Minnesota News Network in 1978.
My hero Will Rogers said this…..“Politics has got so expensive that it takes lots of money to even get beat with nowadays.”
