Gov. Richardson Says Romero "Surging"

OLD TOWN--MaryAnn and I went to a fund-raiser at the Sheriton-Old Town Thursday night for Richard Romero. Gov. Richardson spoke and said a couple of interesting things about next week's election.

• Romero has pulled to within half a percentage point of Wilson.
• As of Thursday morning this race is the #1 watched congressional race in the country.

Wilson's ads attack Romero. She hasn't really pointed out anything she has done. Actually her ads attack Romero for attacking her. I don't think most people feel he has done much of that.

I also ran into Councilman Martin Heinrich. He actually reads this blog occasionally. He said he liked the Rt. 66 ideas, but not getting rid of the Nob Hill parking meters. He thought the merchants wanted them because they kept turning over customers. We did plan to meet for breakfast at the Flying Star after I get back from the Tucson bike ride.
