LOL - I was about to ping you to this and then realized...

Good news for us. Looks like Heather Wilson may have a better shot than I originally thought.

Although her ACU rating was a disappointing 67 last year, that’s nearly double that of the liberal Maine twins. Her overall lifetime rating is actually slightly more Conservative than Domenici’s at 80, so it’s either her or someone like Marty Chavez who would vote like Bingaman — and Bingaman scored a Socialist 8 from the ACU.

I know Heather would be better than Chavez, but........

A RINO is still a RINO!

Why can't we get decent, honest conservatives to run in the GOP?

Problem is, a lot of the best people don’t wish to subject themselves to a leftist media anal exam. It just isn’t worth the stress to them or their families. At least Wilson knows the routine. She’s not perfect, but she’s not the Maine twins, either. The problem is, too, a geography problem. Folks not from the Albuquerque region have a tough time getting elected, especially Republicans. One reason why she has an advantage over Steve Pearce, who is from the far southeast corner at Hobbs (though ideologically, Pearce is preferable).

One of the ABQ stations had a second poll question to accompany the one above. They had Steve Pearce matched against Marty Chavez and Pearce polled even higher than Wilson. But I suspect that’s because Pearce is unknown outside of District II and Marty is disliked by many. When the Rats would get through with smearing Steve as the strong conservative he is, it will balance the numbers.

From what I understand, one of the impetuses (is that a word ?) for Chavez running is because he failed to get a City Council to his liking in the recent election. If Pearce really is doing as well as that, maybe it might be worth the risk to run him in the primary. The only downside is risking 2 open House seats and a potentially ugly primary. Supporting Wilson solely and expecting a brutal primary between Chavez and Madrid should see us hold this seat no matter whom emerges.

It’s no wonder some panicky rodents are trying to talk Richardson into running. It’s already a slam dunk that he’s Hillary’s VP nominee, so why demote himself to just a Senate seat ?

If you check that same poll on other candidates, it shows that Steve Pearce is running stronger than Heather Wilson is. If he runs, I’d lean towards rooting for him.
