Reply #11: Well, I'm ready to leave N.M...

[blueblitzkrieg]

but I'm 21 and have lived here my whole life and am ready to see someplace new, so that's probably the reason.

I'm originally from Roswell, which is Repug country..I went home for Thanksgiving and I've never seen so many Bush bumper stickers. I think I was the only one in town with my Kerry stickers. :(

I moved up to Albuquerque to go to school at UNM 3 years ago, and like it a lot better up here. More liberal, people aren't so close-minded, although there are a fair share of Repugs. Bernallilo county went Kerry though, so we Dems outnumber 'em. Santa Fe and Taos are probably the most liberal cities in NM. Very arsty, creative, nice people, and the cities are absolutely beautiful. Kind of expensive though, at least compared ot the rest of the state. I want to leave NM for sure, but I could see myself coming back and living in Santa Fe or Taos...The other parts of the state are too red for me though.
