Barnett loses in court, faces further defeats
From Joe Monahan’s blog: New Mexico lobbyist Mickey Barnett, nominated by George Bush for a seat on the USPS Board of Governors, suffered a major defeat in his home state last week. The New Mexico Supreme Court unanimously threw out a lawsuit Barnett filed seeking to block a primary challenge to one of his allies, State Rep Keith Gardner.
Now it appears that the Barnett faction, called an ”out-of-control cancer” by one opponent, may face a further, more important defeat, as anti-Barnett Roswell oilman Mark Murphy considers a run for state GOP chair.
