DENISH, DIANE D | Follow The Money

She blames martinez for taking money from the oil & gas.... but she took the same.
Those numbers were current as of April 12.

Let's use your old, out of date numbers.

Denish money from oil and gas $56k. Largest single contribution was 10k.

Martinez money from oil and gas $187k. Largest single contribution was $100k.

That's a much higher percentage of campaign money.

And yea, those are current and up to date... the website is only a couple days off.
The latest campaign contribution numbers are from the period 10/06/09 - 04/05/10, due by Apr 12.

Show me a link to an independent poll that shows Martinez ahead by 6 and I can show you one, just as current, that will show another number.

Bradly ... they all say that crap and then lie about it as look at phony Tex Gov Perry next door as he hasn't pushed to kick them out like AZ Gov Brewer has and even then it's a watered down version as i'm done with these two rotten political parties nationally as i won't be voting for Governor or U.S. Congressman Dist 2 as i'm only voting for Otero County Sherriff and Legislative race Dist 51 and Dist 53 here in Otero County.

Sure they say it... but if you met Susana you would know she is a little more than just talk.... While Denish was to busy to talk to me at a meeting, Susana did. We talked about her plan of immigration reform and what she can do for our failing schools... she is a lady that sounds and looks alot tougher than Denish.

And don't vote, either way we will still have a governor. So it would be a joke not to vote for anyone running for the top spot.

Maybe I just see things different.

O.k. so you truly think that she's not stiffing us and will actually do what she's campaigning on about the border and the economy?

I just wonder if she'll be another Carruthers once in office.

Once again, you bring something up ( campaign contributions ) but when challenged on the accuracy, you just back off from your post. You brought up the campaign dollar amounts as if they were accurate and current.
The numbers posted weren't accurate even as April 12 - as per Mrs. Martinez' campaign website, she (out)raised all of the other R candidates to the tune of $622,462. She raised $428K in just the April 5 period. And that was before the $450K from the Texans.


She's gotta be up over a million by now.

That is the number as of April 12 ( $622,462, as per the Follow the Money site.) I'd grown tired of pointing out all of the other poster's mistakes, I didn't want to take the time to point that out.

I am sure she's received well over a million now, as well. It takes time to record, file and report contributions.

ANYONE BUT DENISH!

I DO NOT want to see the state I was born and raised in fall apart. She is more of the same Richardson games. We seriously need new faces and new leadership. Is she all talk? who knows. At least she is not full of corruption, we need to rout it out.. not continue the same ****ty politics that have made this state the laughing stalk of the US.

Here's a picture of Diane Denish (http://www.flickr.com/photos/jimmcdonough/4693573971/in/set-72157624135492097/ - broken link) in the Albuquerque Gay Pride parade this past Saturday. Marty Chavez was usually in the parade as well, but I don't think Mayor Berry put it in his schedule this year. I wonder how long Susana Martinez thought about whether she'd make an appearance or not? Maybe she'll go to the Las Cruces march next weekend. At least Diane looks like she knows how to have a good time.
