Actually, this is good news, because Udall’s lead has shrunk and because Udall is better-known (he was state AG for years). This proves that Republicans have a shot at holding this seat.
If the Democrats name Governor Richardson for VP, this will be a difficult seat for us to keep. OTHERWISE, with John McCain as our candidate, we’re in good position to keep this seat. Republicans who are seven or eight points behind at this juncture aren’t in bad shape.
>> same comment regarding Minnesota, Virginia, and New Hampshire. I am thinking we can break even or maybe even net 1 this year (Louisiana). And, if Mike Huckabee can be persuaded to run for the Senate, our prospects for the Senate would move from slightly negative to neutral.
If you want on or off the NM Ping list, please FReepmail me.
Access to the ping list is available to anyone by going to my FR home page.
I will vomit twice if both Udalls win.

Just wait until this little liberal climber gets firmly entrenched in the Senate. Udall lies and plays the partisan game with the best of them.
How does this math hold up when they are considering just one GOP candidate. I bet differently.
Regardless, I kind of have NM as a state that is slowly turning blue. Lots of folks that are tired of California carpetbagging their bad politics along with them I susspect.
I would think that immigration would be a top tier issue in NM. Who knows? Look at the Republican Senator from Arizona?
One hopes that McCain is strong in New Mexico this year.
