I've been having a rest day, and haven't kept up with my reading. Thanks Lowell.


No worries. (Lowell - 4/28/2008 7:28:42 PM)
Thank YOU for your continuing, excellent contributions to this community blog!


I thought Heather Wilson (R-NM) was retiring? (proudvadem - 4/28/2008 7:26:38 PM)
Is this just the remainder of her war chest?


She's retiring from the House to run for the Senate. (James Martin - 4/28/2008 7:50:14 PM)


re Heather Wilson (j_wyatt - 4/28/2008 7:56:49 PM)
Congresswoman Heather Wilson is running for the New Mexico Senate seat of retiring Pete Dominici.

Not only is she the first woman representing New Mexico since the 1940s, she's got a terrific cv including a magna cum laude degree from the Air Force Academy, was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford and also served on the White House National Security Council staff.  Unfortunately, she's a Republican.

In any case, she's going to have her clock cleaned this November by Democrat Tom Udall of the renowned Udall Western political clan -- as in Mo and Stewart Udall of JFK fame.

Note to those who might reasonably assume that all Mormons are bedrock Republicans:  though the Udall clan is mostly Mormon, they are liberal Democrats as well as pioneering environmentalists.
