Last I checked, the state was still undecided.  Can anyone update me on the situation?

Yea, they're still waiting on about 17,000 votes to come in last I heard.  I don't know if those are absentees or what.  But she is ahead for the moment, and also leading in the delegate count for the state by 1 for right now.

CLinton will win - by more than it is right now - bank on it.

Well, she certainly won the delegate count in the state; she won NM-02, which is the only of the CDs in the state with an odd number of delegates (this was expected). Even had Obama led the popular vote by around 5, she would have won an extra delegate.
