Abstract
This paper investigates the character of New Mexico's contemporary political-cultural regions. We begin by reviewing competing empirical methods devised to delineate political regions. We then use recent electoral, demographic, and attitudinal data to create a model of New Mexico's distinct regions. Finally, we test the validity of that model against statewide survey data and examine the explanatory value of the regional approach.
