I was always told women were going to change the world. Not even!
Women like Killing just like men do. Have you listened to Hillery`s war drums of late?
Sounds like Denish would love to walk in Hillery`s bloody foot steps.
What a shame, or sham.

More of the same... CASH. The normal New Mexican can not attempt to challenge the big money candidates. What has Denish done as Lt. Gov.? She never spoke out against Robert Vigil and Montoya. Denish comes from a the Country Club enviorment as does the Marine Col. who will probably win the Republican nomination. The Col. is part of the Karl Rove group who supports Torture. Did Denish ever speakout against her mentor Bill Richardson? I will give Denish some credit for speakout against her buddy Richardson when he played with her leg. Denish sat on the Board of Finance when Robert Vigil and Montoya were doing their thing. Did Denish request a background investigation on Gerald Peters? 2.2 million dollars is a lot of Cash and the donors will remind her that they want some action for their contribution (s). Same old politics by the Col. and Denish. It is time to look at other potential candidates who want to do something for New Mexico and its citizens.

Please New Mexicans - Don't vote for Diane Denish. It is just more of the same that you have put up with Bill Richardson. Back when I worked for the State of NM (4+ years ago), I was told who I HAD to hire. Come to find out, it was a daughter of a friend of Lt. Gov. Diane Denish. When the girl (right out of college) came to work for me we talked about it and she knew exactly how she got the job and point blank admitted it to me. I must also point out that she was NOT the best candidate for the position either. Well........I left State Government shortly after that and come to find out, about 1 year after this girl was hired (again, straight out of a bachelor's degree) she was amazingly promoted from a level 55 position to a Bureau Chief. Geez, I wish my mother was a friend of Lt. Governor Diane Denish!

I don't care if she wins the Powerball-
I wouldn't vote for Hillary Lite if she held a gun to my head in the voting booth.

Money doesn't always translate to votes.

I am a newcomer to New Mexico and don't know much about Dianne Denish. Does she have a business background or other work experience besides politics?

Look at this. Steve Terrell calls it ability to draw " backers". The Dems are piling up cash and IOU's to their contributors. After almost 80 years of Democratic rule in New Mexico, and VERY POOR results to show for it, doesn't anyone question where this money comes from, and the strings attached???? Time for a major change in New Mexico, or we are headed to be part of the Appalachia of the 21st century!
so so

Denish has never held a job outside public service. Unless you count her familiy's insurance business. The closest she's been to the real world is when she buys her lattes at Starbucks. She is a major part of this Richardson administration that has driven New Mexico into the ground. She cannot distance herself from the terrible results of the past 8 years.

Here we go again with the media promoting money as the only qualification for leadership in NM. That is why the state is so stuck on the bottom of all the listings.

Boycott this and vote against the biggest money raisers. If all of the best funded lose, the game will change. It barely matters who wins in NM anyway, nothing changes.

Dennish will continue Richardsons legacy of cronyism and corruption. As the states second highest elected official, she has done absolutely nothing to distance herself from the gov. The people who personally benifit from cronyism,nepotism,graft,fraud and Pay To Play are all on the Dennish band wagon.Let's derail the band wagon and vote for change here in SANTA FE.
