« Reihan: Hung! | Main | Reihan: Wham Bam Thank You Cam(eron) » Reihan: Bill Richardson for Senate?04 Oct 2007 12:41 am Yglesias says yes. I did too, but then a resident New Mexican explained to me that Tom Udall would have a better shot. We might then have two brothers, Mark and Tom Udall, in the US Senate. Is is too much to ask for two African Americans? P.S.- I knew they were cousins! Argh! Of course, this makes my not-so-funny gag inspired by my Muslim origins utterly obsolete. Comments (4)
I don't know that I would say that Udall has a better shot than Richardson absolutely, but I would say that Richardson won't run and doesn't have any incentive to run. Given that, Udall is your best bet. 
Tom Udall would be a terrific Senator. Not as handsome as his cousin Mark, but a better politician.
TOM IS MARK'S FIRST COUSIN. I think Richardson MUST continue his fight for the Presidency; HE IS DOING SUCH A GREAT JOB IN FACILITATING THE END OF THE IRAQ WAR!!!! As a Northern New Mexican, I say this: Udall has my vote and full support for the U.S. Senate. He's the best for the job, and he could beat Heather Wilson. No one else could. I don't see New Mexico ever becoming completely blue, however. Y'all ever been to Hobbs, New Mexico or Texico, right on the border? Stephen Fox

I think Mark and Tom Udall are actually first cousins. Both are also second cousins with Gordon Smith.
