New Mexico Leans Obama?

[davidosborne]

What is going on in New Mexico that would cause RCP to change New Mexico from "TossUp" to "Leaning Obama"?

[icwhatudo]

Si

[davidosborne]

Anything I missed I New Mexico over the last 48hrs to cause this shift?

[johnny7]

Have you been to NM recently?

[davidosborne]

ahhh is that it?

[Clemenza]

Residual ill will due to stock market shenanigans.

[cherry]

this is not news...NM has been leaning Rat for some time....that is why we must hold all Bush states except Iowa and New Mexico....

SurveyUSA poll released a couple of days ago has Obama +8 in NM. There's the shift.

Dennis Kookinich just landed his Obamabot UFO army at Shirley MaClaine’s ranch.

Idiot Americans.....everywhere.

They’re factoring in the Richardson fraud machine, most likely.

NM has been drifting toward a socialist hell hole for a while. I left in ‘83. My folks retired and mooved to AZ.

I’ve been in fights just because I was white.

Maybe you could head on down there and make a list of everyone who’s voting for Obama just to make sure. :)

New Mexico went for SoreLoserman in 2000.

I spent some time in Santa Fe this summer. I thought the traffic was horrific, the attitudes leftist, and the prices high.

In fact, aside from the natural wonders of the state (the caverns and White Sands) I couldn’t find much that would bring me back.

if I want to experience granola heads, I will simply drive up to Amherst and hang out at UMass.

Don't know. I'm doing my best to spread the word (hard to do). Got my wife registered here finally. She doesn't vote, normally. But we lived in NH, got her to register and vote for Bush in '04 and have successfully gotten her to register here. Not a fan of Nobama. Really likes Palin, not sure on McCain. So really, she's voting for Palin and against Obama.

For me, this is the first election ever, that I'm actually enthusiastic about the ticket (thanks to Palin). Too young to have cast a vote for Reagan, but would have done so proudly.

Governor Richardson.

The People’s Republic of New Mexico is a banana republic. You want to see a laboratory of unchecked Democratic rule, visit New Mexico. With the climate and beauty, it should be the top economic growth state. However mix in liberal high taxes, crappy schools, and cronyism, you get 49th place.

RealClear does nothing but average polls done by other people.
If their rating changes, some poll changed.
