We've always believed that Heather Wilson was better positioned to beat Tom Udall in the general election and that Steve Pearce was more likely to beat Congresswoman Wilson in the primary. That's exactly the position that we find ourselves in today. It's north vs. south in the New Mexico's version of the Civil War.
Actually, civil pretty well describes most of Congressman Udall's races as he's been the ten ton hard to beat gorilla in just about every race. From last week's Eye Poll things don't look too different this time around as he beat out Congressman Pearce by a 25 point margin (read the Eye Poll results here).
The question is can Congressman Pearce introduce us to the far left ideologist that Tom Udall really is or will Udall skate by with yet another cake walk campaign born of name ID and a large war chest. Make no mistake, Mr. Udall believes that government is the rightful arbiter of our freedom - an attitude that will ultimately lead to the absence of our liberty. Ironically, in our version of north vs. south, it's the south fighting for freedom and the north advocating bondage.

Then how do you explain the fact that Steve Pearce (and Obama) voted for HR 6304 (telcomm immunity and expanded presidential power over domestic spying) and Tom Udall did not.

"A fact to a liberal is like Kryptonite to Superman."
I've never quite been able to figure out why liberals self-identify with qualities such as 'bright','non-conforming', and 'hanging loose', then turn around and demand a system of government that represses creativity and initiative, stifles individuality, robs the productive to support the slothful, and demands a high degree of unthinking conformity.... Liberals seem to think they are libertarians, but until they learn that economic freedom is more important to the health of a free society than sexual license, they will remain Stalinists in drag.
Udall will win!
The problem is the republicans wanted a more right winger. Heather was fair. I've heard comments that sometimes she sided too much with the dems.
SO WHAT! She did what she thought was right and fair for the people and not necessarily her party. Isn't that what a true politician should do?
The Reps screwed themselves by voting for Pearce.
Amen to that brother.
