Eh, this will be a second tier race at best. I like the guy, but I don't expect him to be able to pull the upset.

That said, if he runs a respectable race, he might well have a future, but I really don't expect him to win this time around.

"this will be a second tier race at best"

Unfortunately, I think Red Dog is right. We could have made this a first-tier race had Congresswoman Wilson or the state senator who ran for governor in 2002 (Sanchez?) run, but Pfeiffer faces rather long odds here. Still, one never knows when lightning will strike, and had the GOP run better candidates in New Mexico, Nebraska, California, North Dakota, New Jersey, Wisconsin and Connecticut in 1994 we could have gotten 60 Senators by January 2005. Pfeiffer will at least keep Bingaman honest and could pull off the upset if we have a better-then-expected Election Day 2006.

Second-tier is right, but every election cycle features second-tier races producing upsets.
