The Santa Fe New Mexican has endorsed Republican incumbent Governor Susana Martinez over her Democrat challenger. The editorial department at the capital city’s oldest newspaper, which solidly favors Democrats and liberal/progressive policies, must have been, in words they used, “between a rock and a hard place.” If you can imagine the New York Times endorsing Mitt Romney over Barack Obama in 2012, well it’s just about the same thing. I suspect this will not help their circulation.
