Soooooo 3-1 we Democrats run the table on state wide political slots. The Republicans have marginalized themselves in the U.S. in general and New Mexico in particular. They are a party that has too many negatives for New Mexicans to win a statewide election. They have a lot of votes in the SE, and quite a few in the SW, but not enough to win.

There you have it in a nutshell. 3-1 odds. 3-1 of anything.

Heather's greatest gift as a politician (and have no doubt that's what she is) has always been her ability to affect a faux sincerity–she's able to make people think she cares by shedding the occasional croc tear (remember how she teared up on the floor of the House of Reps when painfully–more in sorrow than in anger–discussing Bill Clinton's sexual transgressions, all the while consorting with Gingrich–who was cheating on his wife at the time–Craig, Vitter, et al.) and making like she's the patriot-matriarch par excellence–all the while marching in lockstep to the wingnut cause.

Heather is the anti-feminist feminist: she got where she is today through feminism and affirmative action, and yet has worked since to pull the ladder up behind her. Heather wants to live her life according to the dictates of her own heart and intellect, but wants to deny the same right to everyone else.

The problem for the rest of us is that unctuousness sells, and Heather can sell it by the bushel basket. That's bad for working people. That's bad for America.

It's sad that someone who could be an effective politician works so diligently against the interests of working people. Heather sold out to the radical right long ago. As governor she would cut services (want that highway or bridge repaired? so sorry; how about that portable classroom your children attend classes in? We'd love to build a nice little school for your rugrats, but so sorry, the wealthy need taxes cut and we need more prisons to house everyone else–maybe your kids could go to school there!). New Mexico needs just the opposite of everything Heather Wilson has to offer.

Heather Wilson: she worked against us at the federal level, imagine what she would do in charge of state government. The horror, the horror.
