Duran attempts to save herself. Lol.
Oh, this is too damn funny. A New Mexican Republican is so ashamed of her party affiliation that she had staffers frantically painting over the word "Republican" on her campaign signs.
Secretary of State Dianna Durand is running for reelection in New Mexico, but when the intrepid team at ProgressNow NM attended the Billy the Kid Days festival in Lincoln last weekend they noticed that her campaign office had painted over the party label on her signs. Amazingly, her campaign staff explained that she doesn’t want to be associated with the Republican Party because it would “look bad in print” and in Northern New Mexico it would “be a bad thing for them to know” about Durand: - See more at: http://www.breitbartunmasked.com/...

Gee...why would she want to not proudly identify herself as a GOP woman and candidate?
From Politicsusa:
Duran is one of the state’s two highest ranking Republican officials. The other is Gov. Susana Martinez, so one would think it would be to her benefit to play up the fact that Duran is one of the top Republicans in New Mexico if it weren’t for the fact that the New Mexico Republican Party was caught training poll watchers to turn away handicapped and Spanish speaking citizens in 2012. Maybe Duran wants voters to forget how she wasted taxpayer money on a voter fraud investigation that turned up no instances of improperly registered voters actually voting.
Or is she just thinking that reminding voters that she's a Republican will make them vote against her? She wouldn't be trying to DECEIVE voters, would she? Seems like a rather stupid and futile gesture, in view of the fact that her affiliation WILL be on the ballot for all to see.
