I sure hope not. Having lived in New Mexico for many years, the author of 'GRIP' ("Governor Richardson's Improvement Program" - not funded by a penny of Richardson's own money, of course) was my favorite pick for the Obama ticket VP slot.

[And on an unrelated topic, the quote in my tagline is from a federal official who was the BLM State Director in New Mexico in the 1990's - which tells you something about the federal government, and also something about New Mexico... ;>]
New Mexico has a history of graft and corruption (and possibly even murder) going back to statehood. This is not a reflection on its people but on those who've strove for office on their backs. It could be considered where "special interests" was originally defined.
