I voted "no" but I have been out of New Mexico for almost 5 years now. WMS should have the real scoop on this topic.
Maybe.
King is probably correct - there don't seem to be any serious stirrings in the NM Reps. Then again, the NM Reps spend half their time fighting with each other.
Sanchez, if he runs for something else, isn't going to run against a Dem incumbent. Domenici is staying where he is as long as his health holds up. Pearce and Wilson (and Udall, for that matter) are all waiting to see if either Senate seat ever opens up (last open seat, 1982!) but I don't
think they'll risk losing their House seats unless it's open or unless Bingaman looks vulnerable. Both parties have done bang-up jobs in managing to pick crappy candidates in races in recent years...
(John Sanchez?! Art Trujillo?! Aaaaaaigh!)
So I'm sure Richardson will win again and he'll see if he can create any
more patronage government positions for his campaign donors like he did after his first victory.
