Richard Romero says he will be a better candidate against Heather Wilson this time around.
I think he's right, thanks to Miles Nelson.
Dr. Nelson, competing with Romero for the Democratic nomination, is airing radio commercials that hit the Congresswoman hard.
You will remember that Romero spent much of the last campaign demonstrating that he is a reasonable guy. I think that's true, but nice guys finish last when they tussle with tough women with big bankrolls.
Dr. Nelson is going after Wilson on her support for the Medicare prescription drug bill. That's the bill that may help some Medicare recipients but will definitely enrich the pharmaceutical and health insurance industries.
Romero, too, should highlight Wilson's dedication to corporate welfare. (Of course, her record means she will get have all the dollars she needs from the drug barons, countless other corporations and the national GOP.)
I hope both Democrats remind voters that Vice-President Chaney, in Albuquerque a few months ago, praised Wilson for her support for the President's economic policies.
Is there anything more damning?
