Martin Heinrich Takes Another Step in Bid to Oust Heather Wilson (R-NM)

In what I think should quite possibly be the #1 target of national Democrats in the 2008 US House elections, Albuquerque City Councilor Martin Heinrich took another step towards cementing his position as the Democrats' nominee. As Joe Monahan reports (scroll down to Thursday's report), the dreamy progressive has announced he will not seek reelection to his current position in order to focus all his energies on his '08 campaign. Gov. Richardson is clearing the field for Heinrich, and given Rep. Heather Wilson's troubles in the wake of the David Yglesias controversy, this would seem to be one of the Democrats' best chances for a House pick-up in 2008 - perhaps the best.

And no, Monahan doesn't use the language "dreamy progressive", but if the shoe fits ...
