There are several potentially credible candidates who could replace U.S. Sen. Pete Domenici in 2008 if he retires, according to the results of last week’s non-scientific poll on this site.
Of 222 votes cast, 51, or 23 percent, went to Albuquerque Mayor Martin Chavez; 38, or 17 percent, went to U.S. Rep. Tom Udall; 28, or 13 percent, went to U.S. Rep. Heather Wilson; 25, or 11 percent, went to U.S. Rep. Steve Pearce; 22, or 10 percent, went to Gov. Bill Richardson; 15, or 7 percent, went to Attorney General Patricia Madrid; and 13, or 6 percent, went to Lt. Gov. Diane Denish.
Thirty votes, or 14 percent, were cast for “someone else.”
