Could this female Governor give Hillary problems if she were to run for President

[bigdarryl]

She's been quite but I think we have to keep an eye on Martinez she might be problems IF she were to run. She's Hispanic running the state of New Mexico http://governor.state.nm.us/Meet_Governor_Martinez.aspx

1. "her money"??

[pipoman]

2. I believe Hillary gives Hillary problems if Hillary runs for president. .

[bigdarryl]

4. That's a good though if she runs as a DLC Corporate Democrat she's got problems

[pipoman]

8. How could she believably run as anything else?

[brooklynite]

34. You recall how many people voted for her last time, right?

[spin]

26. Well put. (n/t)

[elfin]

3. Always figured her for VP choice

For Christie or Jeb. Her resume looks pretty good, but may not be winger enough.

[bigdarryl]

5. Forget about Cristie he has MAJOR scandel problems here in NJ

[elfin]

9. I know

My post should have been clearer.

The only reason she is rising in visibility IMO is because CC is down for the count ang Jebs mommy says don't run.

[Scuba]

6. I don't think Hillary would play 2nd fiddle to Christie or Jeb, though they share the same policies.

[Evergreen Emerald]

11. here we go again.

They do not share the same policies.

[Scuba]

13. Uh huh.

[Beacool]

21. The nonsense never ends around here.

Remember when Nader said that Gore and Bush were the same?

That ended up well..........

[mikekohr]

35. DING! DING! DING! DING!

Spot on. Not Nader, you.

Whether our nominee is Warren, Schweitzer or Hillary they've got my full support and vote.

[Whisp]

27. Please proceed, Evergreen. Tell us how the policies differ... n/t

[Evergreen Emerald]

31. Please proceed whips

Look it up. The stats are everywhere.

[Whisp]

32. whips? was that one of those Freudian thingies...

if you don't understand, you can look it up!

Look it up, is always a great answer.

[OKNancy]

7. A one-term Republican governor from New Mexico

would give Hillary Clinton problems?
A pro-life/anti-equality Republican?

I doubt it.

[pipoman]

10. People are not enamored with career politicians

As they have been in the past. .the Democratic party would do well to run someone who is at least a little anti establishment, imo

[Walk away]

12. That right..why would anyone want someone who knew...

what they were doing to run the country?

[pipoman]

15. It would be a shame

If someone didn't understand the need to drone bomb, side with international bankers, agree with fast tracking massive trade agreements, only outrage when oppressed people control vast natural resources, actively bust unions, and the like, eh?

[Walk away]

20. I get that you hate President Obama. nt

[pipoman]

22. lol, I get that you love all of those things I listed...

[Walk away]

25. Really? You are wrong again. I see a pattern. nt

[OKNancy]

16. +1

[Beacool]

17. Hear, hear!!!

[Whisp]

28. Agreed. A Warren would give problems for Hilary, but not a Repug just cuz she's a woman.

makes no sense at all.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

14. You speak of Susana Martinez? Nope. She couldn't persuade her own state to vote for Mitt Romney.

Plus, she's still anti-choice and has issues regarding immigration. Tea Party conservative, even mainline conservative Republicans will trap her on that issue. Tea Party Republicans will force her to the right. Mainline Republicans will make her appear more centrist. I believe Hispanic Americans are much smarter than they are given credit for.

It's like running Mike Steele for the U.S. Senate seat here in Maryland. The Democrats ran Kwesi Mfume, former head of the NAACP at the time. The Republicans got slick, figuring if they throw Mike Steele in the race, we negroes would turn on Mfume (they think we dislike NAACP) and vote for Steele. He's not that bad of a guy, right? He's a "moderate," right? He's cool, right? Offering black folk fried chicken and watermelon if we come out and register to vote Republican. WRONG!!! Mfume was beaten terribly by Cardin and then Cardin beat Steele to a pulp in the general.

Republicans always accuse Democrats of playing the race card, but they are masterful at racial politics. They think that just because you put a racial minority up against another one who just happens to be conservative or Republican, the community will stupidly latch on--not doing its due diligence to learn more about the candidate. They think that just because Martinez is Hispanic, Hispanic voters will flock to her, no questions asked. Or, just because Palin is a woman, Hillary voters--angry and mad at Democrats--would just flock to the Republican Party and support an idiot like Sarah Palin. Or, we negroes would support Al Keyes, Allen West, Mike Steele, Tim Scott, Herman Cain, J.C. Watts, Mia Love, or the long list of idiotic black conservatives they've put before us over the years.

[Beacool]

18. Republicans also thought that in FL Hispanics would flock to Marco Rubio

or to Ted Cruz in TX. Polls have shown that Hillary would trounce both. People are not as stupid as the media and political strategists think they are.

[Jamaal510]

19. If anything,

Hillary might be her own worst enemy. Part of the reason why she was defeated last time was because she lost her cool as the Obama camp went on offense against her. Many Americans want someone for president who they feel is level-headed and won't act just on impulse.

[Whisp]

29. This is one of the major things I have against Hillary.

Her inability to think on her feet and not just blurt out some stupid shit like obliterate Iran or Sniper fire or the host of other things to her discredit.

She is great at prepared speeches, but put her in a hot seat with surprises and she is toast. Not leader quality at all.

[okaawhatever]

23. Martinez is considered a potential vice-Presidential nominee for whoever is on the ticket in 16. nt

[Herself]

24. Republicans use women for pawns and disposables , they won't nominate a woman

They are seething for the white house, they won't trust a woman, heck they don't trust the males. The gop is fractured, thank gawd.

[pandora nm]

30. Nope!

She has been trying to suck up to her best bud Christy for the VP slot.
That is going nowhere, as I believe is he.

She is so corrupt, I am hoping she won't make it through her term.
Even if she survives here in NM, she is not up to the national stage - not at all!

She is a teabagger with a Democratic legislature in our state.
Lucky for us. Things would be really bad if our state legislature were on her side.

[JDPriestly]

33. She is a Republican. She could not get far in California.
