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.
That's my whole point. Why let these people choose our candidates for us? We should have our earliest primaries in states like Oklahoma, Texas, Georgia, Mississippi, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, and Arizona. We are shooting ourselves in the foot by allowing frontrunner status being assigned by Iowa and New Hampshire.
