(Community Matters) This is a super story. It’s going on all over the country. Treat yourself and read beyond the small, pasted snippet.
John Kerry beat George Bush by 5,700 votes and a little better than 63%-36% in McKinley County, New Mexico. That’s a mirror image of the 5,988 votes by which Bush won statewide.
