The Congressional district boundaries in NM are already pretty wacky. Where I used to live in Rio Rancho was about the only portion of that city in District 1. Heather Wilson is already at a disadvantage in her district.

Wilson won against a hapless Dem who basically promised to raise taxes -- by just 875 votes. Admittedly, it was a Democratic year, but the Dems only need to add 10,000 Dems to the district (a tiny number) to make it impossible for her to win a competitive race.

They're going to try to redistrict Placitas out of the 1st district and put it in the 3rd district so that the Santa Fe Socialists can dilute the vote of the rich folk that moved into Placitas.

Northern New Mexico would elect Hugo Chavez if they could.

On the way into Tierra Amarilla there is a big billboard that says on one side: "Vivan los Zapatistas!" and on the other, there is a masked man with a pistol to the head of a blond woman with the title: "Tierra O Muerte!"

No kidding..... Those are the people who elect Hefe Beengamong and Beel Reesharsong every f'in election.
