New Mexico's role following Iowa Caucus

From KRQE-TV.com - New Mexico's primary is June 5th, one of the last primaries of the election cycle. Utah holds the final primary on June 26th. In recent years Republicans have picked their nominee by March. Usually following Super Tuesday which this year falls on March 6th. That's when 10 states cast their votes and after that, New Mexico's primary doesn't count for much. This year Republicans officials see things differently. A spokesperson for the party explained because so many people are battling for the party's nomination, and because there is so much indecision in the polls, this year the race could come down to the wire and actually run into June. Making New Mexico's vote crucial. State Republicans could vote to move New Mexico's primary up, but some say they like having the final stamp of approval before sending a candidate to the White House. They also say if the race does stretch all the way to June, New Mexico GOP voters will have the extra benefit of taking their time to cast the most educated vote possible.
