#1 When the default is so well known they only need to name the party in the rare instances the default criminals are not involved.

#2 In this case, its less party and a far more 'good old boy'-clan-blood thingy. It has the flavor and markings of the PRI tradition from across the border rather than something you'd link with an Illinois, New Jersey, or Massachusetts machine. Think Juarez with Spanglish.

#6 Yeah, far less registrations of Bobby O'Neil, Jan Walkowski, and Jamal Sufi on the rolls. Seems the vast number of the names have a very distinct linguistic heritage. Not quite multicultural as you'd find much further north which usually includes some sort of dealing between 'interest groups' for their piece of the action. The competition for ~~graft and looting~~ resources is far less. Of course, being New Mexico there are less resources to ~~pillage~~ go around so they have a tendency to keep it in the 'family' and among friends of the 'family'. See patron-peon abstract at cite. For a lot in the local population, they're not interested in the ritual of democratic voting as much as affirmation of the existing social arrangement. It's all personal rather than something dealing with efficient and honest government.

#7 I'm hoping the Pubs take off the gloves in the Presidential election. If Romney is unwilling, then I hope the PACS go after the first gay-lebian, black, Hispanic, Jewish, Muslim, Cherokee victims-everywhere President for all the $hit he has wrought upon us.

#9 Do a "not" search. If "corrupt" and NOT "Repub", should turn up most.

#10 g(r)omgoru, technically that's the official state motto. Locals sometimes use the unofficial motto - Home of the flea, Land of the plague.

#11 Now slow down P2k, I lived in New Mexico for 6 year---some of my fondest memories are of that place.
