NM-Sen: Pearce Demands Firm Dates for Debates with Hippies at Woodstock

Wait, that can't be right. That headline must have popped into my head because the strange vibes of GOP Senate candidate Steve Pearce's attack on hippies are still lingering in my head. You know how it is. What his campaign is really doing is trying to set a seven-day deadline for a decision from Dem Tom Udall's camp on debate dates.

The Pearce campaign sent out an open letter to the media yesterday whining that the Udall campaign isn't moving quickly enough to finalize a set of debates. Pearce must be postively itching to get onstage with Udall and chant his drill, drill, drill and nuke plant, nuke plant, nuke plant mantras, thinking that will seal the deal with New Mexico voters. Authoritarian personalities are like that.

Udall spokeswoman Marissa Padilla says the letter surprised her because the two campaign managers had what she described as a civil telephone conversation Friday and had agreed to talk again this week to finalize the debate details. "We're seeing another disingenuous cheap attack on Tom Udall from Steve Pearce," Padilla said. "Given Pearce's lockstep support for the failed Bush administration policies that got us here in the first place, I would not be too eager to debate Tom Udall."
