NM-03: Adams' Petition Challenge Against Wiviott Dimissed By NM First Judicial District Court Judge
First Judicial District Court Judge Daniel Sanchez today dismissed the petition challenge filed by Jon Adams against Don Wiviott, a candidate for the third congressional district.
“I’m not surprised by today’s outcome. I have been a champion of ballot access for candidates so that voters have a choice at the polls,” Wiviott stated.
“I’m running for Congress so that I can fight for change in Washington—bring new energy and new ideas to begin repairing the damage that George W. Bush has caused over the past seven years. I will fight to be a leader in the tradition of Tom Udall: working as he has to end the war, protect the environment, provide affordable health care for all, and fight for the federal funds needed to ensure good schools, adequate water resources and economic development in all our communities.”
Here's my post reporting on the petition challenge by Jon Adams. To see all my previous coverage of the 2008 NM-03 race, visit the archive.

Jon Adams is blowing up, but not in a good way. The bomb he was building blew up in his face. It's a shame, too. Adams would have been a good policy guy for the eventual winner's Congressional staff. Now, not so much.
P.S. Jon, learn how to file a motion. I'm embarrassed for you. An attorney shouldn't screw up this kind of thing.

I second Proud Democrat's sentiments. Jon touts his legal skills and experience but fell short today. The dismissal along with his over the top charges the last few days show that he doesn't have the judgement or temperment to represent New Mexico in Congress.

I agree with the first two posters. It has become pretty evident lately that this guy is just nuts. Smart or not, you can't get into office if you're irrational and a lunatic, because people notice it. And goodness knows, we don't need another disaster entering our political system.
