A moderate effort — Can former Rep. Heather Wilson (R-N.M.) mount a comeback in her Senate race? Our colleague Krissah Thompson says she faces tough odds — but she’s trying to make inroads with the all-important Latino vote.

Supreme pad — Supreme Court Justice Sonya Sotomayor has bought a sweet condo in the U Street corridor, the Reliable Source reports. Drinks at Marvin, your honor?
