NEW MEXICO – The Democratic candidate for the office of Governor of New Mexico is under fire for comments made at a private campaign function concerning incumbent Republican Governor Susanna Martinez. The non-racist Democrat Gary King stated that Governor Martinez “…does not have a Latino heart.”

While the Republican Governors Association is demanding an apology, Governor Martinez told KOAT in New Mexico:

I’m not sure what Gary King meant by what he said, so I’m not going to accuse him of racism.

King will not apologize stating that he was simply plagiarizing “labor leader” Dolores Huerta.

Main stream media, which appropriately jumped on the Mitt Romney 47% video, are fortunately silent on this non-racist non-issue. Mother Jones even went through the trouble of creating a total transcript of the entire “secret” video of Romney during his campaign event. They are silent on this video.

One poll shows that Governor Martinez may be re-elected for Governor of New Mexico, but a 2016 bid for the office of President of the United States is not likely.
