Former U.S. Sen. Pete Domenici Sr. acknowledged that the 2010 GOP gubernatorial race was more divisive than the usual jockeying for the state’s top post. It was “pretty divisive,” Domenici said. “But we’ve never had five candidates before. It’s hard to keep five candidates in check.”
But the 36-year veteran of the U.S. Senate said there’s plenty of time for the party to get ready for the general election in November.
Noting that there’s five months between the primary and general elections, the former senator said “There’s a lot of time to heal.”
