My first choice was Gary Johnson, the locally liked ex-Governor, but Heather Wilson is a solid candidate. All things considered, she’s doing well in this Democrat-voting state and merely needs to hold the Republican vote in the Little Texas area while winning over independent voters in Albuquerque.

Another reason why Akin has to go: DSCC can divert resources from Missouri to New Mexico - and Heather Wilson has an uphill battle.

She can do it. As Obama goes, so goes Heinrich.

All is not lost here, but interestingly this is one of the few races (along with Tommy Thompson), where the old moderate retread was chosen over the base/tea party types. She doesn’t seem to be in a good position. This theory of the moderate political class that moderates do better is definitely in doubt once again.

We have elected Susana and ABQ mayor Richard Berry and we are stuck with this fossil. She needs to put up a better fight especially in light of Akin.

Speaking of Wilson, Santa Fe residents Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame (the former CIA cublcle resident) welcomed the "Caravan of Peace" to Santa Fe this past Sunday. Apparently liberals have no problem hanging with ex-CIA personnel as long as they helped to bring down a (Republican) U.S. administration.

No news article bothered to record their presence.

Earlier this week she supposedly disavowed Paul Ryan and his budget plan:

...Wilson told The Hill on Tuesday that she has “been very clear that I have concerns about the budget Congressman Ryan proposed 18 months ago,” and voted against a version of it while serving in Congress in 2007. "If I oppose something, that's now recorded as 'implicit'?" Wilson said. “Had I been in the Senate and on the budget committee and the Ryan budget came over, I would have worked on getting an alternative,” Wilson added, elaborating that she has worries about what the Ryan plan would do to Medicare.

However, the blog link to the statement to "The Hill" does not show the statement. Yesterday I posted an article Nervous Heather Starts To Throw Ryan Overboard (NM-Wilson's RINO roots appear) with my comment that excoriated her for her RINO roots. Without a link to those comments, I have to back off a bit. However, polls still show her 7 points down to Heinrich.

Yesterday, with Romney in Hobbs she is shown in a picture sitting in conference with Mittens. Also attending (L to R) are NM Lt. Gov. John Sanchez, Utah US Rep. Rob Bishop and NM US Rep. Steve Pearce.

Well here you have it. A 7 point deficit is not pleasing at this juncture.
