So far .2% of precincts have reported with Mullins in the lead 490 votes to Kokesh's 210.

Regardless of the outcome, Adam's name and views are now circulating throughout his district. Naturally, time will prove the correctness of Adam's positions on the issues. Basically, the people will only harm themselves by voting inappropriately.

[Stary Hickory]

A guy like Kokesh needs to run more than once to get in. First time his views get exposure and sink in, the next time they will be more willing to support him.

Mullins: 2,808 (80.2%)

Kokesh: 695 (19.8%)

wtf?

[libertybrewcity]

did mullins have name recognition though? and there's only .6 in. 2808 to 695. lots lots more to go.

[RileyE104]

I have a feeling this is turning out like the Medina vs Perry race but since only .6% of precincts are reporting I'm going to hope that I'm wrong... :(

[Aratus]

less than one percent...

Mullins was hand picked by the GOP.

20% of the vote isn't bad for a newcomer.

Does anyone know how many votes Ron pulled in this district 2 years ago??

[speciallyblend]

reality if Adam Kokesh doesn't win the primary. Then the gop establishment will lose! either way we win!! The Revolution Continues!! can adam kokesh run indy in NM?? if he doesn't win the neo-cons primary?

[specsaregood]

Well Dr. Paul got a total of 15,379 in the entire state.


can adam kokesh run indy in NM??
Let's just stop talk of that now. He isn't going to be a sore loser and do that if he loses. And for the timebeing, think positive.

That's right. If Adam doesn't win the GOP nomination, then the Democrats will win the general election. Adam has the ability to reach across the spectrum and win the hearts and minds of both liberty people and the progressives.

If the GOP sold out... we win. :D

[libertybrewcity]

77.8 with 6001
22.2 with 1716 for adam

he just moved down a little bit. i am hoping that the city will help him out.

and this travlyr is very true, we win even if adam loses. the GOp will get the idea that adam has the ideology to win. next time he will kick ass. this primary season he has become a tea party/liberty movement leader and has spoken to thousands of people across the 3rd district. he has done wonders for the country!

[tpreitzel]

Isn't Adam's district influenced heavily by native American populations? Do native Americans generally vote in favor of neo-conservative principles?

The Native Americans in the district are generally entrenched as Democrats.

[Aratus]

almost half the vote counted,

mullins has 3/4ths of the tally...

The GOP establishment in this district was gunning for Mullins. Their chairman resigned just so he could go after Kokesh and smear him without having to indict the party. The party just wanted him to lose, and they made sure to turn out the right types to do that.

What I suspect is that they believe an Adam Kokesh win could amount to very good results in our favor if Ron decides to run again. So they're doing everything to try an silence Adam.

Mullins has been declared the winner... :(

[RileyE104]

I hope he runs again in 2012 along with Ron for President and Debra Medina for Governor of Texas.

Anything could happen in the next 2 years.

I expect all 3 to do even better than last time, especially Ron.

[speciallyblend]

Adam Kokesh rocks!!!!! it is a shame the gop is deaf dumb and blind, ooo well count another seat to the dems, everyone should thank the failed gop establishment for electing another dem! we should all call and email and snail mail them a sarcastic thank you!!

[tpreitzel]

Frankly, I'll be stunned if he breaks 30%. I'm pleased to have invested my money in your campaign, Adam. You're a valuable asset in the future of New Mexico and our country. We're looking forward to the future when we will reap the dividends from our deposit. Very good showing so far ...

[Misesian]

I just hope that with the result, those of us in the Revolution will take note, and start running for STATE legislature seats (House or Senate), which we CAN win, instead of these very large congressional races that take nearly a million bucks to win as an outsider.

A state house seat is small enough where WE, THE INDIVIDUAL, can determine whether or not the election is won by how much effort (knocking on doors, phone calls) we put into our own campaigns.

I hope Adam doesn't give up, but does run for a NM state seat in 2012, and be a leading voice for liberty within NM's borders and lead the charge for nullification.

Actually, the results are quite encouraging and not nearly as pessimistic as you imply... Although your advice for candidates to seek state office is probably wise overall, I'd advise Adam to continue to seek federal office again as he's proven his ability to reach the voters when currently more than 1 out of 4 have voted for him in spite of raising $225k. Go Adam!

Free State Project :p Sad at the result, but Adam can do as much good informing the masses without an office in DC.

i think he can definitely reach 30 or 40 percent. not all the results have been counted yet. i thought kokesh had this one in the bag for sure. perhaps he should run for a smaller office first and free the people of new mexico..maybe get in with the establishment and make some friends on the inside. just an idea. OR he could try again in 2012!!! name recognition is on the way up!

Sorta but not so much. FSP is having us expat our states and go into one state, but that's really not necessary.

We can win campaigns as principled Austro-libertarians amongst a voter base of conservative Republicans. The key lies all in the campaign. Since '07 I've since learned that people don't necessarily vote for who they most agree with, but with the candidate they can best identify with. That is usually the one who comes and knocks on their door and speaks with them for 5 minutes.

Wow, that's good!!!! If one of our more extreme guys with a look that isn't all that conservative can get almost 30% in a GOP primary, Ron Paul will be able to make some waves in 2012.

This was a Win For Adam Kokesh and a failure for the gop establishment. everyone needs to thank the nmgop for throwing another election!!!

personally i think Adam Kokesh is kicking butt considering the corrupt nmgop establishment! if the gop doesn't wake up soon. I suspect more failure for the gop in nm and many more states! Liberty WILL WIN IN 2010!

I don't know about an indy run. i think that we should save our resources. i don't know if this is still possible, but maybe adam should run for a new mexico senate or house position. that way he can build up credibility. that is just my opinion. i don't live in new mexico so i don't know what's best.
