Stupid. While the editors let alot of schlock on this blog, this has to be one of the worst. For years we had essentially no power in the Senate because Domenici wouldnt do anything positive for the state and Bingaman was too scared of Domenici to do anything. Any good Udall could have done in the House was totally compromised by Pearce and Wilson. Now that Udall can be Bingaman's spine in the Senate and we have a whole host of honest, New Mexico oriented, hardworking people in the House....New Mexico is MUCH better off.<br><br>What a stupid article.

Marco Gonzales lamenting on "lost power" is nothing but him crying on the power he lost. Domenici wandering around the halls of the senate in pajamas was not doing New Mexicana any good. It was time for change and now we will have it. I agree 100%. Marco Gonzales lamenting on “lost power” is nothing but him crying on the power he lost.

Yeah, Domenici has a lot of power in Congress, but he never used any of it for anyone who wasn't connected to Wall Street or the military-industrial complex. Better for the working people of New Mexico that we be represented by a bunch of babes in the woods rather than the hard-hearted cynicism, arrogance, and corruption personified by Domenici and Wilson.
