THE NEW MEXICO DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS IS UNDERWAY. DEMOCRATIC VOTERS HAVE LESS THAN THREE HOURS TO HEAD TO THE POLLS... TO MAKE THEIR CHOICE BETWEEN HILLARY CLINTON AND BARACK OBAMA. ANTOINETTE ANTONIO IS LIVE WITH HOW VOTER TURNOUT HAS BEEN. ANTOINETTE? EVERY POLLING LOCATION WE STOPPED BY TODAY HAD A LONG LINE OF PEOPLE... FROM WHAT WE'VE SEEN... VOTER TURNOUT SEEMS TO BE STRONG AND STEADY ALL DAY LONG. THIS LOCATION NEAR MONTANO AND I-25 WAS PACKED WITH VOTERS DURING THE LUNCH HOUR. WE'RE TOLD IT TOOK ABOUT 20 MINUTES TO GET IN AND OUT THE DOOR. OVER AT HIGHLAND HIGH SCHOOL VOTERS TELL US IT TOOK THEM EVEN LONGER THAN THAT TO CAST THEIR BALLOTS. WE TALKED TO ONE WOMAN WAITING IN LINE .... AND SHE SAID SHE HAD BEEN THERE FOR AT LEAST AN HOUR. . 11:47 'but you know what, in a way, I really don't mind because i'm exercising my right to vote.' 13:11 'voting is very important to me, so to see this kind of turnout is just awesome' ABOUT A WEEK AGO ... THE NEW MEXICO DEMOCRATIC PARTY ESTIMATED ONLY ABOUT 40- THOUSAND PEOPLE TO HEAD TO THE POLLS TODAY.. THAT'S ABOUT SEVEN PERCENT. BUT WE SPOKE WITH THE PARTY CHARIMAN THIS MORNING AND HE SAID WITH THE AMOUNT OF PHONE CALLS IN THE LAST FEW DAYS AND THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE HEADING TO THE PARTY'S WEBSITE... HE NOW EXPECTS THAT NUMBER TO JUMP DRAMATICALLY. AND FROM THE LONG LINES WE'VE SEEN AT THE POLLS TODAY... HE JUST MIGHT BE RIGHT. REPORTING LIVE NEAR I-25 AND MONTANO ... AA... EWN4. HILLARY CLINTON IS PUSHING FOR MORE VOTES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. IN AN INTERVIEW WITH EYEWITNESS NEWS FOUR THIS MORNING VIA SATELLITE, SHE SAID SHE'S OPTIMISTIC ABOUT HER CHANCES HERE. 14.21 I feel very good about my campaign in new mexico. Support is very broad across the state. 14.33 SHE ALSO SAYS SHE'S NOT WORRIED THAT GOVERNOR RICHARSDON DIDN'T ENDORSE HER. SHE CLAIMS THE ENDORSEMENT OF VOTERS TODAY IS THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS. BARACK OBAMA IS ALSO TRYING TO GET EVERY LAST MINUTE VOTE HE CAN..... OBAMA TOLD EYEWITNESS 4 JUST A FEW MINUTES AGO NEW MEXICANS CAN MAKE A CHANGE IF THEY JUST HEAD TO THE POLLS.
