Someone just emailed me that the final count of delegates in the Kokesh vs. Mullins GOP primary battle is 16% to 84%. Candidates need 20% to get on the ballot. I haven’t found any confirmation of these numbers yet – so it’s all we’ve got. But the tipster is the same source that beat the Santa Fe news Saturday.<\/p>\n
As Sparky pointed out the other day, Kokesh can still get on the ballot for the primary by collecting 2,000 signatures. But really, what would be the point? Obviously New Mexico Republicans won’t vote for him – overwhelminly. Even if he’d made the 20% mark, it’s still and indicator of how little chance he had in the primaries – like Ron Paul claiming he had massive support, raising astounding amounts of cash and still not polling above 15 in actual elections.<\/p>\n
Now, if Kokesh is a real Republican like he’s been telling us, I expect he’ll come out and endorse Mullins – obviously the Republican choice for Congress in New Mexico’s 3rd District. If Ben Ray Lujan, the Democrat incumbant, is as bad as Kokesh has telling us, he should want to unseat Lujan more than indulge his ego, right?<\/p>\n
So, here I am, holding my breath waiting for Kokesh to do the right thing for the party he embraced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
