NM Senate Rumors: Udall is In

They need to talk Chavez into running for NM-1

Pearce is a better candidate, but only because of the US Attorneys firing scandal.

Anyway, if Chavez is smart, he'll got for the NM-1 House seat. Apparently he believes this could be last chance to make a run for statewide office. However, let's look at the facts. If he stays in and loses the primary to Udall, he's finished (same if he wins the primary and loses the general). He could never win the Gubernatorial primary in 2 years. However, he could win NM-1, hold it for awhile, and then make a run for Senate once Bingaman retires or Governor further down the road. NM-1 is easily the best bet for him.
