NM: Tom Udall reconsiders run for New Mexico senate

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Excellent!

Udall wouldn't be a bad candidate, far from it, but he wouldn't be as good a one as seems to be commonly assumed.

He was up by like 20 points in the last poll.

Chavez, but that would change to Udall if he got in.

Hopefully, with Richardson not interested, it will be Udall vs Pearce. BTW, how does someone as economically psycho as Pearce represent NM-02 in the first place? Hispanics aren't their own throat-cutters, surely, or is NM-02 not very Hispanic?

The three districts are about similarly hispanic, actually, the difference being that NM-03's Hispanics are typically US citizens of many generations standing, while NM-02's are typically first-generation immigrants who don't vote much - many aren't entitled to.

Good explanation of why NM is "upside down" politically (following other states' patterns it'd get more conservative the further north you went, not south)
