Susana Martinez tried to reach out to both Latino voters and the GOP base Wednesday with a speech that touched on her heritage and brought delegates to their feet with a story about packing a .357-magnum pistol as an 18-year-old helping out her parents’ security company.
“En America, todo es posible,” she said towards the beginning. She also recounted her parents’ old security guard business, which gave her the job of guarding the parking lot at Catholic church bingos. “I carried a Smith & Wesson .357 magnum,” Ms. Martinez said to one of the louder cheers during her speech.
Warming up delegates for the appearance of vice-presidential nominee Rep. Paul Ryan, Ms. Martinez described the lunch with local GOP officials that caused to her to leave the Democratic Party when she was mounting a bid for district attorney.
Afterwards, she looked at her husband, Chuck, and said, “I’ll be damned, we’re Republicans.”
Although President Barack Obama is still expected to handily win the Latino vote this year, the GOP is still trying to remind voters that on many issues, the voting bloc may line up with the party of Mitt Romney. (The stumbling block: Immigration policy, among other things.)
Ms. Martinez sometimes strove for a post-partisan tone, playing up themes of personal responsibility and self-improvement.
Earlier this year, Ms. Martinez made headlines when she questioned Mr. Romney’s suggestion.

NM Gov. Susana Martinez Tells the GOP RNC Convention In Tampa, FL 'In America, Todo Es Posible' to huge cheers!

In a sign of her rising stature within the Republican Party, New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez took center stage Wednesday night at the Republican Convention in Tampa – speaking right before vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan of Wisconsin.
In her speech, an emotional Martinez attacked President Barack Obama for the U.S.’s growing national debt while calling for bi-partisan politics to solve America’s problems. Martinez, like her fellow Latino politicians Ted Cruz of Texas and Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval, began her convention speech by recalling her family’s blue-collar past.
“We grew up on the border and truly lived paycheck to paycheck. My dad was a golden gloves boxer in the Marine Corps, then a deputy sheriff. My mom worked as an office assistant,” Martinez said, adding that her family opened up a security business that had her guarding a church parking lot with a Smith and Wesson .357 Magnum. “And sure, there was help along the way. But my parents took the risk. They stood up. And you better believe that they built it.'
Like her Nevada counterpart Sandoval, Martinez earned a law degree and eventually was elected District Attorney of the 3rd Judicial District of New Mexico in 1996. She was elected governor of New Mexico in 2010, becoming the first Latina to hold a governorship in the U.S. and recent polls show that her approval rating in the border state is above 50 percent.
Unlike Nevada however, which suffers from the nation’s highest une

On behalf of the great state of New Mexico, let me express my gratitude for being invited to speak tonight.
Growing up, I never imagined a girl from a border town could one day become a governor.
But this is America
Y, en America todo es posible.
My parents taught me to never give up and to always believe that my future could be whatever I dreamt it to be.
Success, they taught me, is built on the foundation of courage, hard-work and individual responsibility.
Despite what some would have us believe, success is not built on resentment and fears.
We grew up on the border and truly lived paycheck to paycheck. My dad was a golden gloves boxer in the Marine Corps, then a deputy sheriff. My mom worked as an office assistant.
One day, they decided to start a security guard business. I thought they were absolutely crazy-we literally had no savings, but they always believed in the American Dream.
So, my dad worked to grow the business.
My mom did the books at night. And at 18, I guarded the parking lot at the Catholic Church bingos.
Now, my dad made sure I could take care of myself.
I carried a Smith and Wesson .357 Magnum — that gun weighed more than I did!
My parents grew that small business-from one 18-year-old guarding a bingo-to more than 125 people in three states.
And sure, there was help along the way. But my parents took the risk. They stood up. And y

If you don't live in New Mexico, you probably aren't familiar with Gov. Susana Martinez -- but Republican's are hoping that will soon change.
Martinez, 53, will be introducing vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan tonight -- a prime speaking slot for the newcomer to the scene.
Martinez is a triple threat for Republicans: She's female, she's Hispanic and she's a former Democrat. Her story is one that Republicans hope will resonate with Hispanic voters everywhere, and tonight is her big introduction onto the national stage.
Elected in 2010, Martinez is the nation's first Latina governor. She's popular in her state, with recent polling showing her approval rating above 50 percent.
With 6.7 percent unemployment, New Mexico boasts a rate lower than the national average and Martinez, herself, has the distinction of being a conservative governor in a state that tends to swing towards Democrats.
Unsurprisingly, Martinez was rumored to be a potential vice presidential running mate for Mitt Romney, but she vehemently denied wanting the position. She is the guardian for her disabled sister and moving her was not an option, Martinez said.
Martinez hasn't always agreed with Romney, but she's emphasized her support even when voicing disagreement.
In an interview with Newsweek in May 2012, Martinez was asked about Romney's self-deportation ide

Halle Berry's ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry, the father of her child, has been arrested and booked on suspicion of battery after getting into a physical altercation with the Oscar-winning actress' fiance, Olivier Martinez.
he incident occurred on Thursday morning -- Thanksgiving Day -- as Aubry was dropping his and Berry's 4-year-old daughter Nahla at the actress' Beverly Hills home to celebrate the holiday, the Los Angeles Police Department told People magazine.
The child did not witness the fight, a source close to the matter told KABC Television, OTRC.com's parent company, adding that Berry saw the beginning of it and rushed to call 911, reporting an assault with a deadly weapon. It is unclear if any were found.
Aubry was placed under citizen's arrest and taken to a nearby hospital. Hours later, in the afternoon, he was transported to a police station in downtown Los Angeles and booked formally for misdemeanor battery, police sources told KABC, adding that bail was set at $20,000.
The police sources said that it appears Aubry started the fight and that Martinez 'apparently gave back more than Gabriel dished out.' Aubry suffered fractured ribs and his face was bruised, a source close to the situation said, adding that he had punched and pushed Martinez, who injured his hand and n
