Yesterday I was canvassing my neighborhood in Albuquerque and spoke to a decorated, purple heart veteran of the Korean War. He raised a point about McCain that I have not heard mentioned before, that might point to a real weakness.

We've read in several diaries that impeachment and conviction just won't happen because there will never be the minimum 16 Republican Senate votes required to convict (if we got all 51 Senators in the Democratic Caucus). We know it will be tough to get the 67 votes in the Senate, but I believe that, as happened with Nixon, it could happen with the right conditions. So who might these Republican Senators be?

News in today's Albuquerque Journal, and re-iterated on Patricia Madrid's web site is potentially very damaging to Rep. Heather Wilson (R) - it puts her smack in the middle of the Foley-Predator scandal.

According to a news release on Rep. Heather Wilson's official website, she was appointed in May of 2001 to the House Page Board, the organization that oversees the U.S. House of Representatives' page program in which several teenaged boys were participating when disgraced Rep. Mark Foley (R-Fla.) made inappropriate sexual advances toward them.

ABC Nightly News on Sunday reported that as early as 2001, when Wilson was named to  the House Page Board, pages were being warned about Foley's inappropriate behavior.
