"Beyond DeLay" primary in New Mexico: Pearce and Wilson on CREW's most corrupt members list -- as is retiring Sen. Domenici

Tomorrow, New Mexico Republicans will choose their nominee in the Senate race to replace retiring Pete Domenici:

Just two days before the primary in New Mexico, Rep. Steve Pearce is leading Rep. Heather A. Wilson in the battle for the Republican nomination to replace Republican Sen. Pete V. Domenici .

An Albuquerque Journal poll released Sunday showed Pearce with 45 percent support and Wilson with 39 percent. Sixteen percent of respondents were undecided and the margin of error was plus or minus 4 percentage points.

Domenici on Friday finally emerged from the background and threw his support behind Wilson, his longtime protegee, but analysts wonder if it came too late to give her much bounce.

We want to point out that all three of these New Mexico politicos, Domenici, Pearce and Wilson, made CREW's list of most corrupt members of Congress in our report, Beyond DeLay.
