Hillary may win NM

It looks like Hillary may get a break and win New Mexico. It’s not final, but…
From Hotline:
Clinton - 73,105
Obama = 71, 396
New Mexico residents caucused on Super Tuesday, but with provisional ballots outstanding and a small margin between the leading candidates, the state couldn’t be called.
That’s extremely close, 1,709 votes, and not really helpful in terms of delegates given the complex proportional allocation of delegates. Most people knowledgeable about the algorithms have said Clinton needs to win by 60% or more in all states going forward to catch up with Obama.
That notwithstanding, the headline will probably be like manna to the Clinton camp.
