Well, it’s easier to win when a second Democrat runs and gets over 20%. We need Romero to run as an independent for the ABQ congressional seat. : )
That’s the same Richard Romero who was Heather Wilson’s opponent in 2002 and 2004 (getting 45 and 46% in each race). He’s an ex-Republican. If it goes to a runoff, there may be an even chance he endorses Berry, since he hammered Chavez pretty hard (and Chavez’s campaign attacked him in turn, calling him a disloyal Dem for being a prior Republican).
