NM-Sen: The Last Days Of Pete Domenici

Senator Pete Domenici (R-New Mexico) couldn't be more enravalled into this Alberto Gonzales Prosecutor scandal if he was the Attorney General himself.

This whole scandal really erupted when Senator Domenici admitted to contacting David Iglesias, the fired New Mexico federal prosecutor, about indictments against a Democratic state Senator on corruption charges, but claimed he did not pressure Iglesias or seek his ousting.

He did, apparently, seek his ousting.

As I said in a previous post, Domenici is up for reelection in one of the most volatile swing states in the country. The Republican bench is thin, thanks to Republican Congresswoman Heather Wilson's involvment in this scandal.

Democrats should be prepare for the possibility of another open Mountain State Senate seat. I don't see how Domenici runs for reelection with this on his back.
