Things just keep getting worse for the RSCC, don't they?

Bill Richardson would be our strongest candidate, but I doubt he'd jump in early -- but if he doesn't do well in the early contests, maybe it wouldn't be too late for him to enter.

In the meantime, there is bound to be a lot of jockeying with candidates... another great Democratic pick-up opportunity (and maybe Wilson and/or Pearce will jump in and open up one or two house seats as well!)
