Review of The Economist Swing State Reports: New Mexico
Terrific, concise, to the point. Cultural analysis little short of brilliant, light years beyond what passes for much of the political reporting from American sources.
In the weeks leading up to the election, these would be wonderful drop-ins at any point in the day, above and beyond typical news blocks.
