ABQjournal: Bush Coming to Duke City

President George Bush will be making a stop in New Mexico next week for a discussion on home ownership, the White House has announced.

Bush is scheduled to be in Albuquerque on Friday.

Bush plans to stop in New Hampshire on Thursday for a “conversation” on home ownership. The event will feature hand-picked residents who discuss their support for Bush and his policies.

The same format is to be used again for Friday’s New Mexico stop. The location and details of the event have not been released.

New Mexico is expected to be one of several battleground states in this year’s presidential election. In the 2000 election, Bush lost New Mexico by 366 votes to then-opponent Democrat Al Gore.
