IT’LL MAKE THE RACE MORE ENTERTAINING. THAT FROM POLITICAL ANALYST JOE MONAHAN ON REPORTS THAT FORMER NEW MEXICO GOVERNOR AND PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE GARY JOHNSON IS CONSIDERING A RUN FOR THE U.S. SENATE AS A LIBERTARIAN. MONAHAN TELLS NEWSRADIO KKOB HE WAS SURPRISED BY THE NEWS SINCE JOHNSON SAID AFTER HIS SECOND PRESIDENTIAL RUN THAT HE WAS FINISHED WITH POLITICS.
MONAHAN SAYS IT’S HARD TO IMAGINE JOHNSON PULLING OFF THE UPSET, SINCE HE AND REPUBLICAN MICK RICH WOULD SPLIT MUCH OF THE CONSERVATIVE VOTE…GIVING EVEN MORE OF AN ADVANTAGE TO INCUMBENT MARTIN HEINRICH.
