Blogs for Heather: Patricia Madrid's Supporters
Once upon a time, a local congressional race would stay local. This is no longer the case in today's politics. Candidates often receive donations and support from people outside of their jurisdiction. It's legal, of course, but the nature of such support can be telling.
Take the race in New Mexico. Incumbent Rep. Heather Wilson is facing opposition from New Mexico DA Patricia Madrid. A fundraiser was held for Madrid recently...in San Francisco. And who organized the event? Stephen Elliott, a member of the transgender S&M community.
Big deal, you might say. But Chris at Lucky Dawg News (a New Mexico resident who is represented by Heather Wilson) has this to say:
New Mexico is a conservative state for the most part, with the exceptions being places like Albuquerque and Santa Fe. These cities have been overrun with blue state transplants. Thanks to these people, places like Santa Fe, have become too expensive to live in. They bring their lack of morality with them too. I often refer to Santa Fe as the adobe San Francisco.
Will conservatives care who's supporting Madrid in San Fran? Time will tell. Chris also has this to say about the race in general:
I've mentioned quite often on this thread that the race between Congresswoman Heather Wilson and her liberal opponent Patricia Madrid isn't just a New Mexico thing. This race has implications that reach far beyond this state. Patricia Madrid doesn't represent New Mexicans in any way, shape, or form. She represents the out of state hate Bush crowd, the appeasement crowd, the bath house crowd, and the absolute vilest pond scum of the left. Madrid is a tool for Howeird Dean and Nancy Pelosi to regain control of our congress.
Keep your eyes on this one, folks.
