9. GOP Name-Recognition Carpetbagger running for Senate.
Thu Oct 31, 2024, 03:47 PM
Oct 31

Pete Domenici's daughter, who hasn't actually lived in, or been involved in any state governance in New Mexico but still has an address here, is running against Martin Heinrich, on the strength of the Domenici name.

Given how desperate the GOP is getting to protect their presumed Senate control, it's not surprising they wheedled him into a NM appearance, but I don't think it's necessarily going to be helpful.

The Domenici name is still one to conjure with here, but Senator Heinrich is well-liked and has a strong incumbency advantage.

This is a real Heil Mary.

So to speak...

amusedly,
Bright
