Romero To Run for ABQ Mayor?

According to a story on Greg Payne's blog NoPayneNoGain.com, Richard Romero may be contemplating a run for Mayor of Albuquerque. Romero last ran for Congress in CD1 against Heather Wilson. Payne bases this on a phone survey he participated in recently. And here's an update on the story, which includes this paragraph:

Make no doubt about it, judging from the number of first-hand reports received, Romero is actively soliciting support for a mayoral bid -- despite downplaying his intentions in some quarters -- and is making calls to key constituencies pitching his candidacy.

So far, only City Council member Eric Griego has officially announced his candidacy for the mayoral race.  Others reportedly contemplating a run are current Mayor Marty Chavez, Bernalillo County Commissioner Alan Armijo and Judy Espinosa, former secretary for the state Transportation and Environment departments.
