And as a Shock to Absolutely Nobody
Many news outlets to the left of Genghis Khan have called the Senate race between Tom Udall and Steve Pearce for N.M.’s open Senate seat for Democrat Udall. That’s not really a shock, Udall has been fairly popular in this state, and he was boosted by the fact that the Republicans picked the worst possible candidate to run against him this year.
Thanks a lot, Club for Growth! Helping Steve Pearce beat Heather Wilson this year, that put this election in tbe bag for Udall. You guys fail.
On the other hand, this I agree with. This race was over when the righties picked Pearce over Wilson. And as a especially irritating side-effect, it looks like I have the loathsome Heinrich as my new Congressperson. Way to GO, right wing! *rolleyes*
No kidding. The Republicans really need to look at who they’ve got on the bench to run against Heinrich in two years, and start planning their campaign and media push now to make it happen. The right wing has screwed over the moderate’s chances to make any gains with their “all or none” ultimatum. I just hope they learn it, god knows it took the dems 15 years to figure it out.
