Obama has an early lead in New Mexico

With four of the state’s 33 counties reporting, Barack Obama is leading Hillary Clinton 52-48 percent in New Mexico.

Results from Curry, Hidalgo, Los Alamos and Mora counties have Obama with 2,042 votes and Clinton with 1,905 votes. That includes a large margin of victory – more than 400 votes out of about 2,000 cast – for Obama in Los Alamos County.

There are a combined 559 provisional ballots yet to be counted from those counties, including 391 from the storm-battered Mora County.

I’m reporting results as quickly as I can, but I’m having to add up the county results to get a statewide tally because the party isn’t doing it on its Web site.
