In NM, Pete Domenici, Jr. has entered into the Gubernatorial race (on the GOP side), which is giving expected Dem nominee Lt Gov. Diane Denish heartburn. Domenici’s father beat Denish’s father in 1972 for the Senate seat, and she doesn’t want a second-generation repeat. I think we have a very strong chance to take this open seat.
Is Clinton’s pimp no longer running or is he term limited out?
Thanks! I hadn’t seen reference to him.
I liked Pete, Sr.
My first reaction was “oh, no!” at the thought of Pete Domenici running for governor .. then I saw “Jr.” Pete Sr. was a really good senator for many years, but was wise to retire when he did.
Interesting to note the (mustached) Ex-governor of Iowa Terry Branstad would grind Chet Culver into a fine paste.
He seems a tad “establishment” to me. How was he as Governor? Conservative Bob Van Der Plaats leads Culver too.
Oregon needs to get with the program. They have gone the longest without a GOP Governor. Not since 1982 has the GOP won that office. State Sen Jason Atkinson seems like he qualifies as a “major candidate” to me. The rats may be hurt by their primary featuring far-left (and mustached) ex-Gov John Kitzhaber and Sec of State Bill Bradbury.
Still waiting for a ruling on whether the rat Governor of Wyoming is termed out or not.
