A coalition of environmental groups is targeting the U.S. Senate race in New Mexico to help swing that seat into the Democratic column.
The coalition plans to help Democrat Tom Udall in the race against the winner of the Republican primary, either Steve Pearce or Heather Wilson.
The coalition says voters already are talking about what they pay at the pump while oil companies rake in record profits.

Ask this pinko the following question; how much of the known oil reserves do the Big Oil Company own:
