It'll be interesting to see. 'Round here, he's a controversial — but still enormously popular — larger-than-life character. A fair number of controversies will probably dog him, including the pretty legendary corruption in the state government, and the disputable results of his initiatives. Also, let's face it, New Mexico tends not to rank very high on those things that you use to judge a successful state.
However, though it's a small state, population-wise, he probably will get a lot of support from the rest of the "New West," a growing political power.
And he's got big ideas and ambitions and seems able to convince people from both parties to go along with them.
You should probably follow the coverage at the New Mexican for some local perspective; state legislature goes into session for two months in January.

Remember leading Republican is Mccain so New Mexico candidate actually neutralizes his geographic advantage.
You mean he went to Tufts, not that he's fat.
