Poll: Udall Leads For New Mexico Senate Seat
A new SurveyUSA poll in New Mexico finds Congressman Tom Udall (D), who just declared his candidacy for the seat of retiring GOP Senator Pete Domenici, to be the clear frontrunner. For the Democratic nomination, Udall leads Albuquerque Mayor Martin Chávez by a 62%-32% margin, and also does better than Chávez in the general election match-ups.
Udall leads the two Republicans, Representatives Heather Wilson and Steve Pearce, by margins of about 15% in both cases. If Chávez is the Democratic nominee, he trails Pearce by ten points and Wilson by one point.
On the Republican side, Wilson is the frontrunner for the nomination, leading Pearce by a 56%-37% margin.

"Another home for Heather" indeed.

We are getting closer to 60 seats, my friends. I predict that we pick up 7 seats in the Senate:
VA, NM, NH, CO, MN, OR, and KY.
That will bring us to 58 (57 if we take out Lieberman).
Now we could pick up more, but I'm not seeing Schumer with a very expansive strategy yet. Van Hollen of the DCCC is going to make history again in 2008 with his aggressive strategy to expand the playing field in House races. I think we may pick up a net of 15-20 seats there, too. Call me optimistic.
