Udall said to be reconsidering a run for Domenici's senate seat.

Just now on KOB-TV here in Albuquerque.

Stay tuned...



On edit: Domenici, not Dominici...

1. I hope Udall jumps right back in there. A strong candidate might just

turn that into a blue seat in 08, and that would be a good outcome.

[LandOLincoln]

5. You and me both!

No links so far. Nothing on KOB's website yet, though I expect it'll be splattered all over the Albuquerque Journal's front page tomorrow a.m.

6. Hi, LandOLincoln. I hope this comes to pass. It would be a really fine

piece of political news to head into the weekend with.

2. We could take New Hampshire, Virginia, Minnesota, and New Mexico.

That's a margin I can live with.

4. And Colorado

with the other Udall :)

3. I hope it's true. Now if only Kerrey would reconsider running for Hagel's seat.

His decision effectively ended any hope of attaining a 60 seat Democratic majority.

7. Okay, apparently this is not exactly breaking news. Just Google Tom Udall

and you get a slew of links like this one:

or this one:

Well, you get the idea...

15. If Udall runs, I will give him my entire . . .

summer break (I'm a teacher).

8. This is an old ploy used by party leaders to deter someone from

entering a race until they get there candidate lined up. Who are they trying to keep from jumping into the race? Sometimes it is the retired boxer ploy with a boxer coming back in for another beating. Until he formally announces, it's just a lot of maybe. Sort of like Gore.

9. Say what? Your answer makes no sense to me,

but it's late and I'm tired and a little drunk.

Care to elucidate?

10. Kicked for the day crowd, with an added link....

11. Awesome

Udall's my congressman at the moment (I'm still registered in NM). I've met him on multiple occasions and I've grown to really like him. He's definitely a guy I can get behind, and he can easily win at least two districts out of NM's three. I can guarantee he will carry the 3rd and probably the 1st, and can doubtless make a strong showing in the 2nd as well.

[LandOLincoln]

12. Yep, I'm really happy he changed his mind.

And just coincidentally (yeah, right) Diane Denish has decided not to go for it, according to KOB-TV just now. Says she wants to stay in New Mexico and work from within to make things better.

[ZombieNixon]

13. God, I love the political machines.

:P (OK, not really, but sometimes they get things right by accident :P)

[NMDemDist2]

14. he can probably do well in Cruces and the mountains, eastern NM

not so much...

he'll do fine though and will give Heather Wilson a serious run. better than that, he'll beat her!
