It's still hard to believe we're in the final weeks before the election we've been anticipating for so very long, but it's true. It's so close to election day that it's time for newspaper endorsements to start rolling in. The first one just arrived.

Today, the Santa Fe New Mexican endorsed Rep. Tom Udall for U.S. Senate, saying, “If ever honesty – and respectable independence – were needed in the Senate, it’s now.” The New Mexican cited Congressman Udall’s integrity, independence, and nonpartisan approach to solving the nation’s problems in their endorsement. At a time when the White House and its partisans in Congress “have done enormous harm to this country,” the New Mexican wrote, “Tom Udall is the voice for reform our state, our nation, and the world need.”

“This is a national-level lawmaker who can – and does – work with allies as well as opponents, with a better nation in mind. His collegial approach to problem-solving is in too-short supply in a Senate long in the stranglehold of partisanship,” wrote the New Mexican. “The 111th Congress faces crises foreign and domestic – maybe even disasters by the time it convenes in January. Its members, especially in the Senate, must be decisive, thoughtful and well-informed. Those qualities, and integrity to boot, are what Tom Udall offers – and New Mexicans should overwhelmingly accept.”
