New Mexico News

From Cogitamus, news of my one-time home state: New Mexico has approved the National Popular Vote

So if enough other states also approve it, NM (and those other states) will pledge to their electors to the winner of the national popular vote. I think this is an interesting idea, and I'm all for having votes count for something. 

I confess, though, that I am not all that well-versed in the arguments for and against the Electoral College. 

Also, apparently Val Kilmer is considering a run for governor of New Mexico. I swear, I go away for 14 years and somehow completely lose touch with the goings-on out there.
