BATTLE IS FOR 2ND PLACE. I believe Huntsman will do better than 9%, based on anecdotal evidence.

Has anyone ever won Iowa and New Hampshire but lost the nomination? Romney basically has NH locked up and he could win in Iowa because the anti-Romney vote is split 4 ways. The possibility frightens me.
Can we secede NH to France?
I could not find a news article with the numbers, so I posted it.
in case you missed it:
CNN Poll of IOWA
Romney 25%
Paul 22%
Santorum 16%
Gingrich 14%
Perry 11%
Michele 9
Huntsman 1%
none 2
NH poll included independents (as it should). IA did not include independents, which appears to be a serious flaw. They can register R at their caucus.
Perry is at 2%?
Ebola would poll higher than that.
Yup. Gingrich could set himself for SC with a decent 2nd place.
NH is an OPEN primary in which do called
Independents can vote .
The Dems have organized and registered as indies in order to screw
With the GOP primary !
Why does the Rnc still allow open primaries in the age of
Soros , Axelrod , Moveon.org !
Because Mittens would not win otherwise?
IA had the same problem
With weak registration rules the Dems
Can abuse !
A CNN Poll?... A Muppet Poll would have more credibility..
Romney should win New Hampshire. He has a house there where he lives part of the time, and he was the governor of the state next door. Second place is where the battle is here.
