Republicans are gearing up to smear Senator Jeff Bingaman (Dem NM) for his vote opposing the confirmation of Alberto Gonzales as Attorney General.

Bingaman to face Republican challenger in U.S. Senate race
ALBUQUERQUE -- A former state senator says he plans to run against Democratic U.S. Senator Jeff Bingaman next year.

Think about Newton's Third Law.
Every Action has an Equal and Opposite Reaction
Here's how it works. If you push on anything, it pushes back on you. That's why if you lean against the wall, you don't just fall through it. The wall pushes back on you as hard as you push on it, and you and the wall both stay in place.
