  • New Mexico was the forty-seventh state to join the union on January 6, 1912, one month before Arizona and five years after Oklahoma.
  • Population, as of 2010, is 2,059,179.
  • Senators are Jeff Bingaman (D) and Tom Udall (D).
  • Representatives are Martin Heinrich (D), Steven Pearce (R) and Ben Lujan (D).
  • New Mexico has five electoral votes. Historically, the state has voted for thirteen Democrats and twelve Republicans. As split as New Mexico’s votes have been over the past ninety-nine years, they have remarkably only voted for the losing side twice (Gerald Ford in 1976 and George W. Bush in 2000). Barack Obama defeated John McCain 57% to 42% in 2008.
April jobs +244,000, yet unemployment back up to nine percent. Fannie Mae reports $8.7 billion loss for first quarter; seeks $8.5 billion more from taxpayers. Gas national average $3.99. No word of 2012 budget talks in the news.

1,351.3 miles to go.
