Election Notes

A representative of Tom Udall came to my door last night at 5:30 p.m., asking if the family Democrat had voted. This level of effort in a heavily Democratic precinct suggests that the Udall campaign is well organized.
The Steve Pearce election night party was at the Albuquerque while the Republican party was at the Hotel Albuquerque. A Pearce staffer maintained the separation was happenstance, purely a function of where Pearce was staying. There was no other motivation, the staffer maintained. I take the staffer at his word. Certainly the Hilton is closer to the Albuquerque airport than the Hotel Albuquerque and Pearce had an early plane this morning back to Washington.
However....
The Pearce / Wilson battle was fierce and the GOP establishment came down for Wilson in the form of Domenici's endorsement. Why bother to go were one is not wanted?
And....
Pearce certainly could have gotten space at the Hotel Albuquerque had he wanted.
