The marathon New Mexico cauci have finally ended, all the votes were counted, and nobody was disenfranchised - this according to New Mexico Democratic Party officials, who appeared completely smashed after nine straight days of ballot counting & Jim Beam. Clinton graciously accepted the victory, in appreciation of the confidence shown by the New Mexico voters. Obama was disappointed, but accepted the result.Meanwhile, no word has come in yet on the results of the Republican caucuses between hopefuls Barry Goldwater, Nelson Rockefeller, and Richard M. Nixon. The Arizona Senator appears to be a popular choice in Santa Fe and Albuquerque, but Vice President Nixon is holding on strong in the more rural areas of the state. Nixon seems like the likely national choice, but has been very secretive about who he might select as a runningmate.

That Goldwater Poster brings back real memories for me. I was a "Goldwater Girl" in high school - got to meet him at the airport when he came to Tampa - and got to sit up front when he made his speech. I had a cute cowgirl costume including a cowboy hat. Have you seen the picture??? All I've got to say is, "I've come a long way, baby!!!"
Ummm ... I knew you were a Goldwater Girl, but ... no, I've never seen the picture!
Are you one of these Goldwater Girls?

You're in good company, as your contemporary Ms. Hillary Rodham from Illinois was a Goldwater Girl as well!
Somehow this doesn't seem like something your oft-opinionated father would have approved of??
OMG, of course I'm not in that picture, but that's the outfit - what a hoot! And I didn't know Hillary Clinton was a Goldwater Girl. My oft opinionated father was a Goldwater supporter at that time, so he certainly approved. Leopards can change their spots - as shown by my Dad, myself, and Hillary ...
