The New Mexico governor’s race has gotten more competitive lately, according to Washington Post political writers Chris Cilizza and Dan Balz, who today moved it from “lean Democratic” to “toss-up.”
The paper rates Senate and governor’s races across the country. Here’s their take on New Mexico: “National Republicans did everything they could to ensure that Dona Ana District Attorney Susana Martinez won the June Republican primary. And, for good reason. Even Democrats acknowledge that Martinez is a quality candidate against Lt. Gov. Diane Denish.”
