ANOTHER MAJOR FIGURE IN NEW MEXICO POLITICS IS THINKING ABOUT JUMPING INTO THE RACE TO REPLACE PETE DOMENICI IN THE U-S SENATE. CONGRESSMAN TOM UDALL IS RE- THINKING HIS EARLIER DECISION TO STAY OUT. STUART DYSON IS LIVE DOWNTOWN WITH HOW THAT COULD REALLY SHAKE THINGS UP. UDALL AND HIS CLOSEST ALLIES HAVE CALLED PROMINENT DEMOCRATS ACROSS THE STATE TODAY AND TONIGHT - LETTING THEM KNOW THAT TOM IS RECONSIDERING - HE'S NOT REPEAT NOT 'IN' AT THIS POINT - BUT RECONSIDERING HIS DECISION TO STAY 'OUT'. OUT Q THE FIVE TERM CONGRESSMAN FROM NORTHERN NEW MEXICO'S POSSIBLE ENTRY WOULD MEAN ALL THREE OF THE STATE'S HOUSE MEMBERS WOULD BE RUNNING FOR THE SENATE SEAT TO BE VACATED BY THE RETIRING DOMENICI. REPUBLICAN CONGRESSWOMAN HEATHER WILSON IS RUNNING AND RAISING MONEY. DITTO FOR FELLOW REPUBLICAN REPRESENTATIVE STEVE PEARCE. EARLIER THIS MONTH OUR SURVEY USA POLL SHOWED UDALL SWAMPING WILSON BY 18 POINTS - AND STOMPING PEARCE BY THE SAME MARGIN. IN THE DEMOCRATIC FIELD UDALL'S MAJOR RIVAL WOULD BE ALBUQUERQUE MAYOR MARTIN CHAVEZ. ' Udall will be very popular among liberals and liberals tend to turn out in a Democratic primary - so he will be a tough contender for the Senate nomination if he does get in.' CHAVEZ'S CAMPAIGN MEANWHILE SAYS THE MAYOR HAS THE KIND OF LEADERSHIP LACKING IN WASHINGTON DC - WHILE CHAVEZ HIMSELF IS ON THE HUNT FOR CAMPAIGN MONEY. ' It could be as much as eight or nine million dollars - which is to me obscene - but I'm in this to win for New Mexico and I'm gonna do what it takes.' THEN THERE'S BILL RICHARDSON WHOSE PRESIDENTIAL RACE SEEMS STALLED WHILE HE DENIES THE WIDESPREAD SUSPICION THAT HE'LL DROP OUT AND RUN FOR SENATE. 'So Tom says no - I think I may reconsider that seat - all of a sudden no one' s talking about Bill running - now they're talking about Tom running - that's good for Bill and it doesn't hurt Tom to get a little publicity about possibly being a United States senator.'UDALL IS SAID TO BE UNDER TREMENDOUS PRESSURE FROM SENATE DEMOCRATS TO RUN FOR THE SEAT. CREWS ARE HOPING TO RE-OPEN A HOBBS MALL
