Democrats Write Off New Mexico

Democrats seeking to oust New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez (R) in November apparently won’t get help from one of the biggest Democratic contributors in the last gubernatorial race, the Santa Fe New Mexican reports.

“Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin (D), who chairs the Democratic Governors Association, said what some national pundits have been saying for a long time: He doesn’t expect a Democrat to win the gubernatorial race in New Mexico. He also mentioned Nevada and Texas as probable losses for Democratic gubernatorial candidates.”
