In New Mexico, we move at our own pace - or why Super Tuesday results ain’t complete


Manana


Twenty-one states that held presidential primaries and caucuses on Super Tuesday dutifully counted the votes cast and reported their results like the conformists they are.

But New Mexico, where the state Democratic Party held a caucus, dared to be different.

We’re mavericks here in this Enchanted Land. We’re rebels, freethinkers. We’ll count our votes when and how we feel like it. We won’t cater to CNN or MSNBC. Or the people of New Mexico.

We might know who won New Mexico by the end of the week.

Or we might not.

A proper chuckle from Steve Terrell.

Steve is a damned good political writer, fine musician and radio DJ. And the poor devil looks like a younger edition of me.
