Recovering from an Election Night Hangover

I think our entire station has been in full-on recovery mode since last Tuesday. The weight of all those month of election preps just got to be too much to bear! Not that it wasn't plenty exciting, because it was that and more. Still, I think there are a lot of leftover questions this state and nation face, one week after Barack Obama's historic win. Here are just a few that come to my mind:

*What will President Elect Obama's immediate agenda be, and will that agenda include any prominent New Mexico politicians?

*If Governor Richardson leaves for a post in an Obama cabinet, will that be good or bad for the state overall?

*What will the Republican party do to regroup and reorganize after this huge trouncing?

*How will that Dem. trouncing affect the Roundhouse come next year's session?

*Is it time to put an end to straight party ballot voting?

*Do Heather Wilson and Steve Pearce regret both entering the U.S. Senate race, thereby putting their relatively safe House seats in jeopardy (both of which went to Dems)?

*Is single party domination really a good thing for New Mexico's congressional delegation?

Just a few issues I know we will all be watching and talking about for months to come! Let us know what you think are some other lingering questions after the election. Either leave us a comment here, or email us at infocus@knme.org.
