Winning every county

[ottermax]

What about both Dems in NM ?

Nah, Richardson and Bingaman won convincingly their last cycles around and still didn't carry every county. That's hard to do here, because you can't appeal to every political quadrant at once and that's what you'd have to do to sweep the state. That, or have an atrocious candidate. NM wasn't swept in either 1972 or 1964...or even in 1936 or 1928.

Yeah I just watched the maps and there's this really conservative Catron county in the west of NM. I think they would have to win NM with 70% to carry this district

And Bingaman did.
