Heather Wilson has diverged and will diverge again, I suspect, from the GOP House leadership as we approach November. She wants an image like Steve Schiff's - the "moderate" Republican.
But she is no moderate. When the chips are down, she will cast her vote with her increasingly far right party. So whem the House was given a chance this past week to "exempt libary and bookstore records from the reach of the USA Patriot Act," she voted "No." (So did Steve Pearce. Tom Udall voted "Yes.")
The exemption was defeated on a tie vote, 210-210. (That's according to Roll Call, whose description of the measure I have quoted above.)
Will Richard Romero attack her on that vote? Or will he persevere in his effort to persuade the voters he is a reasonable fellow? Stay tuned.
PS Roll Call's syndicated report on how legislators voted the previous week is published Sundays by the Albuquerque Journal - a fine public service.
