NM-Sen: Pearce Campaign Can't Identify Tom Udall

For the record that's NM's Tom Udall (left) and CO's Mark Udall (right)

Yes, this is some of the weirdest news I've encountered on a long day filled with weird reports about GOP lies, flip-flops and negative campaign predictions. With each passing day, the GOP and its candidates seem to be sliding closer to the edge of confused disaster, and it's not even July.

You couldn't make this up if you tried. Seems that the Pearce for Senate campaign sent out a press release criticizing Rep. Tom Udall, the Dem candidate for U.S. Senate in New Mexico, for offering an amendment on preventing oil shale leases. The only problem is that it was actually MARK Udall's amendment. Mark is Toms' cousin and he's running for U.S. Senate in Colorado. Quite a spectacular error on the part of the Pearce campaign. Then again, we're getting used to Pearce et al. having a little trouble absorbing and communicating facts.

You really must read the Pearce press release -- and don't miss the Tom Udall campaign's three word response -- over at the TU blog.
