The race to replace Pajama Pete Domenici in the US Senate from New Mexico got simpler this morning when Albuquerque Mayor Martin Chavez announced he is withdrawing from the race.

Chavez announced at the same time that he will endorse Rep. Tom Udall (D, NM3) for the spot. Chavez said he was withdrawing because he believes NM Dems needed to unite behind a single candidate, and that the candidate with the best chance to win the seat was Udall.

Udall polls between 10 and 20 points ahead of possible GOPuke contenders, Rep. Heather Wilson (R, NM1), and Steve Pearce (R, NM2).
