Domenici Jr. Flier In New Mexico Brags Of "Great Success" At Convention -- Only To Lose At The Event

[ccharles000]

Pete Domenici, Jr., a son of former Sen. Pete Domenici (R-NM) and currently a candidate for governor of New Mexico, made a very amusing gaffe -- with his campaign seemingly bragging in advance about his great performance at the state Republican convention, only to crash and burn at the event itself.

The Albuquerque Journal reports that Domenici's campaign mailed out a flier that arrived at some homes on Saturday, the same day the convention was taking place: "The 2010 Convention Was A Great Success! Thousands of Signatures Put Pete On The Ballot!" However, the convention turned out to not be quite a success -- Domenici scored less than five percent of the delegate vote, far short of the 20 percent needed to gain an automatic place on the primary ballot, and thus requiring him to gain ballot access through a petition drive.
