I'm looking forward to see how the 44% of Independents in New Hampshire respond to Ron Paul. If the remaining 56% of voters were divided between Democrats (26%) and Republicans (30%), the Independents outnumber either. Early University of New Hampshire Survey Center polls indicate 55% of the Independents will take Democratic ballots, which is down from 72% in June. That's a dramatic shift in 6 months.

Here's a Boston Globe report on the Independents thus far:

"The decrease in the percentage of independents who expect to vote in the Democratic primary appears to be the result of at least four factors, according to analysts: Some independents may have concluded that Hillary Clinton will win the Democratic primary and would prefer to vote in the tighter Republican contest; some independents have shown strong interest in the antiwar candidacy of Representative Ron Paul, a Republican; McCain has ticked up in the UNH polls among independent voters; and Obama has not drawn as much independent support as some analysts had expected."

I'm in New Hampshire and I've seen lots of Ron Paul signs,
but I hear no buzz.
