Election Night '84 - 12:27
12:27
Well it looks like one of our longest droughts of the night is over and we can make another call. The state of New Mexico goes to Governor Richard Lamm, keeping him in this race.
Anderson: 179
Buckley: 81
Lamm: 146
It’s a difficult path for him from here directly to the presidency, but not an impossible one.
That’s right, Tom. The Democrats are potentially competitive in most of the remaining states. Less so in Alaska and Nevada maybe, but those are two states Lamm could lose and still win the presidency if he sweeps the rest.
Not to mention that the whole electoral landscape is utterly up-in-the-air right now.
Anyone who went into tonight thinking they knew what was going to happen probably has a bridge to sell you, too.
