From the Cibola Beacon:
The audience for Governor Susana Martinez's first State of the State address Tuesday
likely included some Republicans around the country who are starting to get to know
a political figure who one day could be giving a bigger speech.... But Martinez is
just days into her new job as New Mexico state government's top executive, and political
scientists around the country say her trip could take a while. "If I were a betting
woman, I'd say the Republican Party is going to be looking to bring her in a more
active role,'' said Victoria DeFrancesco Soto, an assistant political science professor
at Northwestern University who is studying Republican women. ``But she still has to
make a name for herself because she really was a politically unknown...." Still, as
she focuses on those tasks, others are noticing Martinez, although in the context
of a tide of new Latino leaders, said Louis DeSipio, a political science professor
at the University of California, Irvine who chairs the university's Chicano/Latino
Studies.
