Why is she identified as "The Honorable"? Is this a New Mexico thing? Typically governors are not called "The Honorable" and I didn't see anything such as a judgeship in her background that would bestow that title upon her. Just wondering.

Susana Martinez, a "Christian"
The article on Susana Martinez misuses the word "christian" in a partisan and insulting manner. First of all, 85% of Americans are self-identifying christians, so that statement that she is a christian has no meaning, unless what is meant is that she is an evangelical protestant, which is clearly what *is* meant. This mis-use of the word christian, somehow implying that we Catholics are not Christians, or that Denish is a Jew or a Muslim is partisan non-sense that has no place in Wikipedia. If she is an evangelical protestant, it should state her denomination. If she is a Catholic, it should say so. To say she is a christian is to engage in divisive partisanship. The way conservatives use this word allows them to speak in code, giving the message to evangelicals that she is one of them, without using the label evangelical, which would repel most New Mexicans, while giving the message to non-evangelical or non-Protestant christians (most of us) that it is possible she is a Catholic or from a main-line Protestant denomination.
Naturally, I assumed that she was an Evangelical by this description.
NPR claims that she is Roman Catholic.
If so, saying that she is a Christian is misleading, as in here in Northern New Mexico, the word Christian is usually used in opposition to the dominant religion, Catholicism. Certainly, one would think that a Texan who touts her "Christianity" would be a Baptist.

Law Degree
The Education Section incorrectly states Susana got her law degree at the University of Phoenix. This may be an honest mistake or meant as some sort of "slam," but I believe one cannot get a law degree from the University of Phoenix. Susana's webpage states her law degree is from the University of Oklahoma.

Photo, Photo, Photo anyone???
Yes the article has a photo, but it was taken on the campaign trail. We need a new updated photo now that Mrs. Martinez is the governor, with the proper permission of use on wikipedia. Does anyone know where we can get one? or does anyone have one? SteveoJ (talk) 06:07, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
I totally agree! This lady is now Governor of New Mexico. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.240.206.191 (talk) 18:36, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
- Exactly! She is probably the most famous Latina in the world right now. COM'ON PEOPLE A PICTURE? SteveoJ (talk) 23:18, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
First female governor, or first female elected governor?
I've started a discussion at Talk:List of Governors of New Mexico about Martinez's status as first female governor of NM and the 1924 service of Secretary of State Soledad Chávez Chacón in the capacity of governor. In the interest of centralizing discussion, I invite editors of this article to weigh in on the matter at that talk page. —C.Fred (talk) 14:56, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
- There are already sources to prove that claim is false and redundant. Four, and more could be added. Move on with this ridiculous claim. JHarrelson (talk) 16:55, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
birthplace
The article states the governor as being born and raised in El Paso, Texas. The governors webpage states "Susana was born and raised in the Rio Grande Valley". See www.governor.state.nm.us/Meet_Governor_Martinez.aspx, second to the last paragraph. El Paso and the Rio Grande Valley are about 1000 miles apart. Which is correct?

- We already know she is from El Paso, the news and the campaign made that very clear. The depending on who you ask or talk to, the "Rio Grande Valley" is in different areas. Some say the Rio Grande Valley is in Albuquerque, Las Cruces and El Paso. We need to stop worrying about where she is from, and get a new picture on the article.

Honorable
Why is she identified as "The Honorable"? Is this a New Mexico thing? Typically governors are not called "The Honorable" and I didn't see anything such as a judgeship in her background that would bestow that title upon her. Just wondering. MDuchek (talk) 00:53, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
