...it's now within sight (apparently will coincide with the conclusion of Larry Craig's list).
I wish Sen. Domenici good luck with his incipient brain-rotting condition, but his foul luck should be the Democrats' good fortune with regard to his seat.
Heather Wilson may be able to hold the strong military and lesbian voting blocs in New Mexico, or at least their intersection, but she should be tasty fodder for a well-schooled Dem with statewide name recognition.
We made our endorsement months ago and will stand by it: Richardson for Senator! He would, of course, deny any interest in the job while he's still running for President. By Feb. 15, though, he should be clear on the likelihood of that occurrence, and by March 1 he should understand the probability of running in the second spot on the national ticket.
Although he's certain to be short-listed, I'd put my money on the second-place finisher between Hillary (that's right, Hillary!) and Obama. Either would make a superb VP choice, while Bill is just a damned fine one.
If Richardson persists in his determination not to seek the job (and assuming Tom Udall will be unshakable in holding on to his comfortable House seat), my next choice would be the mayor of Albuquerque, Martin Chavez.
