Hey, I've got a novel idea. Why not let the voters of a conservative state (like Oklahoma, Idaho, or Mississippi) pick our nominee instead. New Hampshire gave us John McCain in 2000 and in 2008.

Romney's commanding lead in NH can be dismissed as being due to the proximity between New Hampshire and Massachusetts.

As a matter of fact, New Hampshire is getting a lot of "pollution" from Massachusetts lately. In other words, Massachusetts people are moving there.

I believe poll results will be much closer in states which are not right in Romney's backyard.

"Live free or vote for Romney" should be the state's new slogan, I guess...

NH Republicans voted for Romney in 2008...NH 'independents' (democrats in disguise) voted for McCain in the GOP primary, because they felt either Obama or Hillary would kick his ass in the general, and they were right.

They will do the same in 2012.

Interesting that you quote George Romney. Also interesting that you signed up the same day I did.

POST OF THE DAY, if I may. And why, why, do we debate on the marxist cable and network channels. Republican conservatives are the flavor of the day and we need to debate on our terms, on our battlefield, FOX! Not CNN, with the marxist reporters and pundits harrassing us all night long. NO MORE.

This reminds me of why I've long loathed the presidential primary system. No matter how early other states move their primaries, it's "all over" by the time more than a few states have voted.

Republican's don't get a battle like Obama & Hillary had. We get some ego candidates who have no shot, those the press pimp as 'worthy' fodder and then the establishment candidates at the top.

Iowa voters will only support the candidates who want to keep the ethanol subsidies.
