Parties fear dirty tricks in New Mexico grudge match

The Democrats say that winning New Mexico in next week's presidential
election is a matter of honour. For many Republicans, it is more like
a grudge match after their tantalisingly narrow defeat by just 366
votes in 2000. Either way, the state that regularly emerges from polls
as the most forgotten is looming large in the battle for the White
House.
New Mexico may control only five votes in the electoral college - a
fraction of what's at stake in battlegrounds such as Ohio and Florida
- but it is punching above its weight in money, organisation and
attention from the national parties.
