Former Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney holds a commanding lead in New Hampshire in the early stages of the race for the 2012 Republican Presidential nomination, according to a new survey commissioned by NH Journal and conducted by Magellan Strategies. The survey is the first statewide survey of Granite State Republicans and Republican-leaning independents in 2011.

Romney leads former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin by 23 points, with Romney earning 39% and Palin earning 16%. Mike Huckabee (10%)...

[ The NH GOP does NOT like conservatives or the Tea Party. ]

True.. but you cannot get rid of the RINOs overnight..
As the federal government is defunded they will deport themselves back to where they came from..
With No(or less) money to steal being in government will lose its glitter for many in Washington D.C..

The reverse engineering of federal government is a process..

Eyes, I heard Mark Styne say, on Rush, that he was Broadcasting from Grafton County in East Vermont. I didn't think you people had radio over there.

[Past Your Eyes]

I was hoping Kimball was going to run for governor again next time. Instead he’s doing this. He’s a good man and would have been a great governor.

[who knows what evil?]

I really hope Kimball wins...

[Past Your Eyes]

Yes, mark has reappeared. I’ll be seeing some of his neighbors tomorrow evening and I’ll get the latest on him as they know it. He lives in Lyme, just north of Hanover which is the extreme Left Coast of NH.

[Little Bill]

As much as I dislike PAPA Sununu, the guy can organize. After Cullen, the Mouth Breather, he put things together, I hope that those that follow him, including you and I remember how to run campaigns, Kimball has the right views on politics but can he organize.

[JoeFromSidney]

These media polls are going to continue for the next year. We must reverse them before they harden into fact. We need to make the primaries a real horse race, by getting genuine Conservatives out front now. We can't wait until next March or thereabouts. Name recognition is important. Getting the names of genuine conservatives in the news now matters.

[o2bfree]

New Hampshire should be disqualified and placed at the end of the calendar.

The fact NH allows democrats to vote in the republican primary means that should have no say whatsoever.

Bill, speaking of Grafton county, you might be interested in this.

In case you didn’t know it, Ray Burton has been part of the problem for a long time. I’ve known Ray about all my life. The rest of us Grafton County Republicans tried to talk Burton out of what he did but he wouldn’t be turned. He’s “in bed” with Cryans.
Omer Ahern is a good friend of mine. A better guy you won’t find on the right.

You really think democrats were crossing over in New Hampshire when they had a highly competitive race on their side?

That's what I've often wondered when reading these crossover explanations for McCain's win in NH. And Obama had won Iowa and NH was a comeback win for Hillary. It's hard to believe that large numbers of Dims skipped that race and voted in the Republican primary.

And McCain did go on to win South Carolina. After that, his wins were mostly in blue states and Florida.

First, it was an autodial survey of likely 1,451 Republican
and independent voters
by a firm that helps paid RINOs.

Second, want proof:

"Recent polling from Magellan Strategies indicates
that both Governor Mitt Romney and Meg Whitman,
former CEO of eBay.com, are in early pole position
for their relative offices"

[Diogenesis]

"One of the traditional methods of imposing statism
or socialism on people has been by way of medicine..."

Death Panels imposed by Mitt Romney (ObamaCARE=RomneyCARE).

[Little Bill]

If things in 2012 are as I expect, you people in Grafton County won't have a problem booting the dead wood. 19 new relatives on the pay-role for a new jail, why?

[Past Your Eyes]

Why? Because the damm Democrats ran the rod to us, that’s why. A $35 million project and we don’t even have a clerk of the works to supervise the construction. You can thank Ray Burton for that, too. He’s been a county commissioner for a long time in addition to governor’s council.

[CharlesWayneCT]

There was a contingent here at Free Republic that were supportive of a conservatives vote for John McCain in NH; they wanted to stop Romney in the belief that McCain could never win anyway, and stopping Romney would clear the way for Fred Thompson.

Whether that movement had any effect or not, I can’t say.

[Little Bill]

Why don't you, when you are making your political rounds, sound out the selectmen into asking the question why? You have a legitimate reason to ask and if you get enough complaints you can refer it for inquiry.

[Past Your Eyes]

Hey, I’m part of the county delegation and we did all we could to get that fixed here a couple weeks ago. Our delegation is half Democrat. Don’t forget, we have Lebanon and Hanover to deal with along with Plymouth - all Dems in those super enlightened college towns, don’t ya know. Just like Durham and Keene.

[magritte]

If Romney runs, odds are good he will win NH. McCain voters will most likely turn to him, and Huckabee and Thompson combined only got around 11% or so. NH is a symbolic victory at best...4 of the last 5 winners of the primary have not reached or lost the general election...just ask Pat Buchanan....magritte

[Little Bill]

Does the General Court have a Committee on Counties? Look at the numbers after you ask for them or get them by other means. You and I have run crews most of our lives, sometimes the specter of a watcher with experience can upset a few people.
