Obama will return to New Mexico on Monday

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama will return to New Mexico on Monday, his campaign announced today.

It will be his third general-election season trip to the state. The campaign said additional details will be forthcoming.

Obama’s campaign said earlier this week that almost every scenario that would give him the 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency requires that he win New Mexico. Obama has made the state a priority: He’s already opened 24 campaign offices here and plans more, and he has visited New Mexico twice since he won the primary. He was in Las Cruces in May and Albuquerque in June.

Heath wrote earlier "Several news outlets are reporting that Barack Obama will likely announce his running mate next week."

Maybe Monday in New Mexico?

Hey--did anyone else read the hilarious account on thinkprogress.com about how the New Mexico Democratic Party staffers took a "Happy 73rd Birthday Social Security" cake to the McCain head quarters, and the McCain campaign staff ran out, grabbed the cake and threw it in the trash, yelling something about Obama sleeping with a Teddy Bear?

As I understand it, John McCain collects Social Security even though his wife's multimillions make it completely unnecessary. I guess he doesn't COMPLETELY disagree with the program, eh? Someone had better get those NM McCain folks on message, I'd say.
