New Mexico Tobacco Documents
Actually, life here has not been so stable: the pueblos were built in sudden spurts; the Spanish conquistadors and priests brought the Catholic religion, the baroque accents of the adobe buildings, and the Spanish language in a rush; successive waves of American settlement have changed New Mexico...

Debate here is conducted and votes are bartered often in Spanish, but the Republican and Democratic parties have been firmly established here for a century, and there has been nothing smacking of cultural revolution or massive income redistribution coming from any politician. Quite the contrary: politics here tends to be a cynical, sometimes corrupt, business; loyalties run to families and communities more than to principles or parties.
