But she also faces the same U.S. Attorney scandal baggage that would have affected Domenici’s reelection campaign. Fired U.S. attorney David Iglesias said both lawmakers pressured him to be more aggressive with his corruption cases during the 2006 campaign.

Typical enemedia reporting. The fired U.S. attorneys were only the worst of the Clinton holdovers. GWB hamstrung his own administration by not firing them all.

I am not from New Mexico and do not know much about Heather Wilson, but I do know that a lot of Soros money has been employed against her and that alone would make her an excellent Senator, in my opinion.

"The fired U.S. attorneys were only the worst of the Clinton holdovers. GWB hamstrung his own administration by not firing them all."

I hate to correct you here, but Iglesias was a Dubya appointee and active Republican (barely losing the open race for Attorney General in 1998). The problem is that he was clearly not aggressive enough in prosecuting the multitude of rodent corruption in an unusually corrupt state. Domenici and Wilson's roles in the matter were along the lines of inquiring "Why the hell isn't he doing his job ?" He was dragging his heels, so there should've been no surprise when he was canned. ALL U.S. Attorneys serve at the pleasure of the President, and if they aren't doing their jobs effectively, they can be replaced, period. This was a non-scandal.
