Hey New Mexico, heads up – you matter.
You are one of the 14 cherished states that actually matter in the 2012 election cycle.
Now, I have my own reasons (in my head) as to why you matter, but that’s a later blog. (You know why and feel free to comment.)
You can hate Karl Rove all you want for naming you as one of the top 14, but I’d advise you to get over it. Get over it fast.
Please take a moment and have a read to find out why he listed you as one of those states that matters.
Here we go, New Mexico, here we go.
PS: And, yes, I am a cheerleader for your state – despite never actually having cheered. (That said, my mom was a cheerleader for UMASS – does that count? My little sister too… who is currently living in Santa Fe.)
