Blogs have finally arrived on the scene for New Mexico politics, and it'll be interesting to see their impact. Joe Monahan runs the best blog in the state, and it's everything a good blog should be: timely, accessible, full of gossip that real media outlets can't repeat, and wired to a network of seemingly well-placed informants who rarely fail to get the inside scoop.

Just in time for this year's legislative session, the republicans have discovered the blogosphere, and have developed a batch of blogs where they hope to mobilize their minions. (I'm not going to link to them because I don't want them feeling important.) To date, I don't know of any democratic blogs, and I'm hoping we get something up quickly.
