Is this really a “nice win,” as Ben Smith of Politico writes, if it comes more than a week after the voting was finished and means nothing as far as stopping Obama’s momentum? But at least NM is in…

The official tally gave Clinton 73,105 votes to Obama’s 71,396 votes. Clinton wins 14 delegates while Obama claims 12 in the race for the party’s nominee.

Hillary issued a statement congratulating herself on this “victory”:

“I am so proud to have earned the support of New Mexicans from across the state.

From strengthening the economy to providing health care for every American to jumpstarting a clean energy future, New Mexicans want real solutions to our nation’s challenges.

As president, I will continue to stand up for New Mexico and will hit the ground running on day one to bring about real change.”
