Chasing Tom Udall

Julia Goldberg

When I got the press release that US Rep. Tom Udall, D-NM, would be early voting at 2:30 pm, Saturday, May 17 at the Santa Fe County Fairgrounds, I decided to gamble that most reporters would be too busy having lives to show up and that, perhaps, I would be...

Candidates Mostly Ignore Project Vote Smart

Julia Goldberg | Posted May 13, 2008 | Politics


Julia Goldberg

A recent press release from Project Vote Smart, a national research organization caught my eye because it was titled "New Mexico candidates stonewall public on basic issue positions."

That's one way of looking at it.

PVS' site is worth checking out. It includes lots of candidate bios, campaign...

Glenn Hurowitz

New Mexico congressional candidate Bill McCamley (who's running for right wing Republican Senate candidate Steve Pearce's seat), just came up with a very creative idea for taking the rug out from under self-financing candidates. In this case, the self-funded candidate in question is his...

While the media is busy catering to the press releases on Gov. Bill Richardson's astonishment and surprise that the Clintons are angry with him (Breaking News: Top Politicians Share Angry Words Over Key Endorsement!!!!!) John McCain is sticking his red white and blue flag in the "Aztec Ruins" of New...

The Day Hillary Clinton Knew She Had Lost

Earlier this week, Hillary Clinton was back in Michigan, a full two months after its "primary," pleading with the state legislature to allow a revote in the state. As she stood in downtown Detroit, it was becoming increasingly clear that there would be no do-over and she looked for the...

I think there are a few lingering questions regarding Bill Richardson's endorsement of Barack Obama. This is what he said on CNN on February 25 regarding the role of superdelegates:

BLITZER: All right. So you say you will...

After a week in which the Clinton campaign has sunk yet further into the gutter with its aggressive manipulation of Geraldine Ferraro's mad comments, the time feels about right to send a clear message to our superdelegates, specifically those whom we elect to public office. To start with,...

The Democratic Party's Clintonian Rules

Paul Jenkins | Posted March 11, 2008 | Politics


Paul Jenkins

On the surface, it is easy to dismiss the Democratic Party's current nomination struggles as a mix of incompetence and bureaucratic procedure gone mad. There is some of that, of course, but it is mostly there to hide the fact that Democrats, like Republicans, have designed a system that will...

Clinton's General Election Disaster in the Making

Paul Jenkins | Posted March 9, 2008 | Politics


Paul Jenkins

Of the many strange spins the Clinton campaign has sold the media, few are as troubling as the idea that she is the stronger general election candidate: pretty much all polling, sound judgment and anecdotal evidence point to the contrary, but we are led to believe that New York...

Friday Talking Points [18]

Chris Weigant | Posted February 8, 2008 | Politics


Chris Weigant

I'm going to start off with a quick piece of advice for both Democratic campaigns (or perhaps for Howard Dean) -- spend the next few weeks taping everything John McCain says publicly. He is in the midst of shoring up his support in the Republican conservative base, and hence will...

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Democrats prepared Wednesday to examine nearly 17,000 provisional ballots that will determine a winner in New Mexico's tightly contested presidential caucus. With 183 of 184 of precincts reporting, Hillary Rodham Clinton held a lead of 1,092 votes...

My Super Duper Tsunami Tuesday Primary Picks

Tomorrow is... (drumroll, please)... Super Duper Tsunami Tuesday!

[OK, I'm already tired of typing that, so henceforth it will be referred to as SDTT, which makes it sound like something you could catch from a toilet seat. Ahem.]

This means we return to our "pick the primary winners" series, for...

When I took a leave of absence from my job in Washington in 2000 to work in the Montana Senate race, I didn't have much clue what I was in for. Growing up on the East Coast, I thought of the Intermountain West as a huge, far-off, mysterious place of...

Alex Flores

The Movement to Draft Tom Udall to run for the United States Senate from New Mexico is getting more and more attention everyday, including from the national press.

Shortly after Senator Pete Domenici (R-NM) announced that he would not seek re-election, Congressman Udall too abruptly announced that he would...

Brighter Skies in New Mexico

Albuquerque, NM -- The New Mexico license plate features a bold, graphic sun, so it's ironic that the single biggest obstacle to getting more federal support for solar energy and other renewables has been New Mexico Senator Pete Domenici. A month ago, the Sierra Club, having decided to...
