The race for New Mexico's First District between GOP Rep. Heather Wilson and Democratic Attorney General Patricia Madrid has been ugly all along, and the final hours promise to be no exception, with each side accusing the other of using dirty tricks to drag down turnout.
After months of nearly constant negative advertising, voters in New Mexico's First District could be forgiven for just wanting a little quiet. But the old adage proves true yet again: Be careful what you wish for.
New polling suggests that Republican Rep. Heather Wilson and Democratic challenger Patricia Madrid are fighting to a photo finish.
Democratic Attorney General Patricia Madrid has continued hammering New Mexico Republican Rep. Heather Wilson over the Rep. Mark Foley scandal, even after Wilson promised to donate any campaign contributions from Foley to charity.
