Look later in the morning for an exciting new part of the New Mexico Telegram and Santa Fe Reporter partnership -- a new weekly podcast called, of course, the Weekly Word. The podcast will feature SFR staff writer Joey Peters and myself speaking about politics on a weekly basis. We will have a new episode every Friday, with the occasional special edition throughout the week. The initial episode will feature a talk about the New Mexico Senate race and some key legislative races. Also, Justin Horwath, a staff writer with the Reporter, has a feature on former Gov. Gary Johnson. A little something for you to listen to on the weekend to keep you abreast of the latest in New Mexico politics. On to the Word: Unsurprisingly, KOB has the report on the U.S. Senate debate between Martin Heinrich and Heather Wilson. It seemed almost a replay of previous debates -- Wilson spent her time hammering Heinrich and Heinrich tried to deflect each attack. Again, there were no game-changing moments. And with the large number of early votes already cast (see below), time is running out for a big comeback. New Mexicans like early voting.

As of October 25, 2012: Total Absentee Ballots Received and Early Votes: 173,671
