It's not about who can beat Denish

There are those who would argue, Republicans need to field
a candidate who can beat Lt Gov Diane Denish.

I would argue, they need to field their best candidate;
the one of them who will be the best Governor
for the state of New Mexico and its citizens.

And if the Republican's best candidate for Governor
cannot beat Denish; the Queen of complacency, compliance,
or complicity in the culture of corruption and incompetence
in Santa Fe,

they don't serve to win, and it wouldn't make any difference
if they did.
