There were two hotly contested races in this years New Mexico primary. The GOP race for governor and the Dems race for AG. Mark Ronchetti has won the GOP nomination for governor in a landslide victory and Raúl Torrez Raúl Torrez has claimed the Democratic nomination for attorney general. Now I can watch Judge Judy for awhile without all those attack ads! PTL! I already can hear the fireworks come late summer and fall, or maybe it will start very early this year! I did not realize this, KOB TV reports: no Republican has won the race for New Mexico attorney general since 1986. Rochetti has a political war machine behind him in his attempt to defeat Lujan Grisham. You would think that just the price for gas is enough to defeat her and her disregard for the oil and gas industry. Her list of failures is very long. The future of New Mexico is at stake.
