Mitt probably should be ceding New Mexico. There's virtually zero chance that it provides the clinching vote to either candidate. In other words, if Romney wins it, he'll already have pulled 270 from other states, and NM will just be extra icing. The only real reason to compete for the state is to force Obama to spread his resources defending it, or to help downballot candidates. And at this point, even Rasmussen's latest poll of New Mexico, albeit pre-conventions, came up Obama +14. The only way to reasonably argue that it's "lean" and not "safe" Obama is to say that there's been so few polls since the conventions - only one conducted since the DNC ended (YouGov, Obama +8).
