GOP VIPs ponder David Iglesias fallout
Damron from the ticket last year in favor of John Dendahl. Dendahl wound up receiving little support from the state party and stumbled to a historic defeat, then left the state with a less-than-generous benediction. "The Republican Party is mortally wounded," Cargo, who sits on the party's central committee, said. "But once Bill (Richardson) leaves and these indictments come down, there may not be much left of the Democratic Party either." For now, at least, Democrats seemed happy to watch the unfolding battle in their opponent's camp. Matt Farrauto, the executive director of the New Mexico Democratic Party, said he had little to add to what had already been reported, but did his best. Brutally parodying an episode last year in which Domenici was seen at his Capital Hill office wearing what were described as pajamas - Domenici said they were actually hunting pants - Farrauto said it was increasingly clear the venerable senator was vulnerable.
From the Editor :
Sorry to see Shaun Pollock go. I hate to think he was pushed as has been suggested by some commentators. I was lucky enough to see him almost take the match away from Australia in Adelaide in 1998 during an amazing day of bowling in typical Adelaide summer weather (bloody hot). He toiled all day (Donald was injured) and took a bunch of wickets on a heart-breaking pitch in Australia's first innings to give South Africa a big lead - the innings was also notable for Mark Taylor carrying his bat, which was probably the difference in the end between a South African win and the eventual draw. South Africa came within three Aussie wickets of winning that match. Shaun Pollock has done his gene pool proud, and that's not an easy feat considering who's in that gene pool. .
