This repugican Candidate Paints Over The Word repugican On Her Own Campaign Signs

New Mexico’s repugican Secretary of State Dianna Duran is going to some extreme lengths to hide her party affiliation from voters. Duran’s campaign has painted over the word repugican on her own campaign signs.

ProgressNowNM has the details, “After ProgressNowNM staff spotted Duran campaign signs which had been partially painted over at the Billy the Kid Pageant days in Lincoln last weekend, we asked campaign staffers to explain. Campaign volunteers told us that identifying with the Republican brand is ‘bad in print’ and that her party affiliation was ‘not a good thing for them to know.’”

Picture of the painted over sign via ProgressNM:

A male volunteer added, Democrats “get a little fussy sometimes”, and “she needs all the help she can get.”

The repugican brand is so damaged that their own candidates are blacking out their cabal affiliation on campaign signs.

There is also audio of the Duran campaign saying that her cabal affiliation is not a good thing for voters to know:

The repugicans are not popular in New Mexico, as only 1/3 of the state’s voters are registered repugicans, but the painting over of cabal affiliation on campaign signs is a silly and desperate move. It’s hard to believe that Duran’s campaign couldn’t afford to print up some new signs without the cabal affiliation on them. Painting over the signs is the kind of cheesy stunt that was destined to be caught by somebody. There is an obvious blotch of paint that doesn’t match the rest of the sign.

Duran is one of the state’s two highest ranking repugican 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 repugicans in New Mexico if it weren’t for the fact that the New Mexico repugican cabal 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.

The next time the media starts talking about the decline of President Obama or the 2014 repugican “wave” remember that there are repugicans out there who are blacking out their cabal affiliation on campaign signs.
