Land Of Enchantment And Deadlock

Don't look now, but with 98 percent of precincts reporting, Barack Obama leads in New Mexico by exactly 71 votes. However it turns out, Hillary's going to win the district-level delegate count in the state by one. Obama prevailed in the first and third congressional districts, but since they both have six delegates, it was a three-three split in each. Clinton won the second congressional district, which has five delegates and will split for her 3-2. It looks as though nine more delegates are awarded proportionally based on the statewide vote, so whoever can pull out the statewide win get a 5-4 split.
