The thread is labeled "candidates", not "GOP primary candidates", and the former is what I opined upon.
It was an honest question. I'm not on here to knock anyones views. You are correct about the title. In the body of the original post I did specify, but I guess I should have put it in the title.

I'm a hardcore Democrat.
But I'm sick and tired of poor Democratic leadership in New Mexico.


Soooo, I will be voting for Janice Arnold-Jones, a Republican.

Turner is an idiot with poor experience, and Domenici is such a moron, what makes him qualified... being an attorney? hahah

Turner is a very smart person (building a successful business and all). He should sit and stew a little longer though...

Well, obviously he would fit in well with the government of New Mexico and the Federal government.

What makes Arnold-Jones a more qualified candidate, if you don't mind me asking?

I thought you didn't want this to turn into a political bashing thread?

At first blush, I find myself leaning toward Turner or Arnold-Jones. But I have yet to dig too deeply into their individual stances on various issues. At this point, they both seem to fit into the conservative/libertarian, pro-business, low-tax "ballpark". (Weh & Domenici strike me as more of the "same 'ol" Republican types that owe just a little too much to special interests.)

But I must say, a certain someone's endorsement of Arnold-Jones certainly doesn't help her cause.

Thanks Chap. I am leaning toward Turner as well. I need to do more research before I'm 100%, but so far I'm happy with what I've seen/heard.

I don't want someone from either end of the political spectrum - whatever happened to moderates who were willing to broker compromises? When you vote in the far left and far right, you get gridlock. Can anyone say "Congress"? We really don't need that on a state level.

Does that mean you wont be voting? Or is there a candidate you see that represents your views?

For many people, that's the idea.

For many, a government that does nothing does no wrong.
