I assume that Senator Tom Apodaca is a conservative, or Congressman Patrick McHenry (perhaps the most conservative young member of Congress) would not be recruiting him to run. I agree that Charles Taylor would not be our strongest candidate to retake the seat, and a state senator from Henderson County such as Senator Apodaca sounds like the smart way to go.

BTW, if elected, Tom Apodaca would give the GOP a Mexican-American Congressman, something we haven't had since Henry Bonilla was defeated in a run-off last December:

"Apodaca, 49, said his father is Mexican and his mother is Scotch-Irish. He was born in El Paso, Texas, raised in Durham and has lived in North Carolina 38 years."

I wonder if Tom Apodaca is any kin to former NM Governor Jerry Apodaca ?

A Hispanic candidate in the mountains of North Carolina. What is the party thinking?

Taylor should stay out as well. He hasn't got a snowball's chance in the general.
