SANTA FE, N.M. — Five Democrats have officially entered the race to unseat Republican Gov. Susana Martinez.

New Mexico Attorney General Gary King, Santa Fe businessman Alan Weber, longtime government worker Lawrence Rael of Albuquerque and state Sens. Howie Morales of Silver City and Linda Lopez of Albuquerque Tuesday turned in the petitions and paperwork required to qualify for the Democratic Party's June primary ballot.

No one has filed to run against Martinez in the GOP primary.

But a lively Republican primary could be shaping up for U.S. Senate. Former New Mexico GOP Chairman Allen Weh and former Dona Ana County Republican Party Chairman David Clements are vying for the nomination to run against Democrat Tom Udall. It's Udall's first bid for re-election.

He'd have to be caught in bed with a dead hooker or a live boy to lose, I think.

Martinez is another matter. She pissed off a lot of people here when she first got in and some people here know how to hold a grudge. She's kept a low profile since then, so I consider it a tossup.

State when I retire in five years or so, this is important (to me).

After all my life in Texas, it sure will feel good to be represented by some Democrats. How 'bout y'all kick Susana to the curb for me?
