Do you think the Dems will win the Domenici Senate seat?
It really has to do with the weather.
NM is very conservative in the rural areas -— really only Sante Fe and certain ski areas are liberal. This includes long-time hispanic residents and even some Indian tribes. VERY conservative, very pro-oil (only major employers).
The rural population barely outnumbers Sante Fe — BUT if the weather is bad (snow) -— the rural population cannot get to the polls and vote (NM is very much a Rocky Mountain state -— people forget).
The last couple of elections have turned on weather — one each way.
But with a RINO running for office -— we won’t bother to make the trek, especially in bad weather.
