HISTORY WAS MADE – AT 9:27 P.M. ET:  This is another subject we brought up this morning – the absence of major network interest in Susana Martinez, elected in New Mexico last night as the first latina ever to run a state government.

Why the lack of interest?

Could it be that she's...pro-life?  A devoted Christian?  You don't think...?

I've always believed that Sarah Palin would have been treated far more kindly by the media had she uttered four words in 2008:  "I am pro choice."  But she never spoke the words.

Now Susana Martinez, who made history last night, is being conspicuously ignored.  (If I'm wrong on this, alert me to her national appearances.  I haven't seen any.)

But she did appear on local TV to make her acceptance speech, and I thought you'd like to see it.  It's here. 

Oh, by the way, she's also anti-illegal-immigration.  Can't have that, can we?  I mean, she really can't be a legitimate woman, can she? 

Yes she can.
