Anyone from New Mexico or familiar with the state who can enlighten us?I would say it's pretty unlikely that Romney will win NM. Later in an article update Rasmussen has it 52-38 with 9 points for “some other candidate,” likely Gary Johnson. This poll was taken last Tuesday, August 21.

More distressing is news from the US Senate race between Heather Wilson and Martin Heinrich. Heinrich is a left wing environmental radical who opposes oil and gas drilling in favor of windmills and solar panels. He probably will lose the oil patch but his railing against fossil fuel drilling and infrastructure (e.g. Keystone pipeline) likely will win the ABQ area and for sure the SF-Northern NM Dem region. Rasmussen also has Democrat Martin Heinrich up by 7 — 48-41.

What is distressing about Wilson is that she has thrown the Ryan budget plan overboard saying "Had I been in the Senate and on the budget committee and the Ryan budget came over, I would have worked on getting an alternative," and further elaborated that she has worries about what the Ryan plan would do to Medicare. I'll post a separate post with this info. She was going to get a donation from me this weekend but I think it will go to Steve Pearce and Bachmann instead.
