The WMUR/Granite State Poll gives Christie a first-place 19 per cent showing among New Hampshire Republicans
But when Romney is added to the mix, he draws 39-percent support and leaves everyone else in single digits
Paul Ryan has the highest 'favorable' numbers of the field, at 55 per cent
Christie's 46 per cent favorable number is soft since a separate 36 per cent say they don't like him
When asked which potential White House hopeful they would never support, More Republicans name Christie than any other pol.
Chris Christie narrowly leads the pack of potential Republican presidential candidates in a poll of New Hampshire residents released Friday, but Mitt Romney crushes the competition when his name is added to the field.
Christie, the cantankerous and controversial New Jersey governor, emerged as the most polarizing name on a list of 13 politicians presented during a phone poll between June 19 and July 1.
While 46 per cent of New Hampshire Republicans like him, another 36 per cent don't. And he topped the list when GOP respondents were asked who they definitely would not vote for.
But with 19 per cent support in a hypothetical presidential primary, Christie has emerged as the flavor-of-the-month front-runner.
All 13 potential Republican candidates in the WMUR/Granite State Poll have either fed speculation about their plans for 2016 or allowed pundits to place their names in contention.
But former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who has said he will not run for president again, comes out far ahead when his name is added to the mix – posting numbers nearly as dominant as Hillary Clinton's in the Democratic field....

You don’t feel that Senator Ted Cruz is a viable candidate? Have you ever read his biography?
True.
I have zero experience in politics, and am generally a failure at life, and I would make a better president than most on that list.
Now it's "live free or whatever."
I was not a Romney supporter but the difference between a dictator like King Obama, I had to choice to make. Being a responsible voter to the majority of the voters was and always will be an obligation and to deny that is foolish.
A dead cat would be a better choice than the majority of the list.

At least the Republicans pretend to oppose the liberal agenda from time to time and are not looking to be obliterated in 2014. That is where we would be with Romney.
It’s New Hampshire — what do you expect???
New Hampshire gave us Juan McCain 4 years earlier.
It wasn't as clear as that: remember how there were [several] instances of things like retroactive primary rule-changes?
And then there was the whole RNC vote/teleprompter incident, oh and the bus incident, too.
Really, when?
I mean, seriously, look at what congress does[n't] do.
More like (gibsmedat) Free or your political career Dies.
I guess that Juan will be VP then....
The GOP candidate is already chosen by the time our primary rolls around. So our only voice is to either vote or not in the election.
He should try running against hillary in the democrat primary.
What are the chances of a change in this protocol in time to salvage the 2016 presidential nomination?
You don't need a crystal ball to see what's coming.
For the presidential race, it seems to me the only hope will be in an independent "second" party candidate. I hope Cruz and Palin take the risk. At the point where you are expected to vote to put into power a person you know full well will, if he wins, advance government tyranny on the same premises as the Democrats, you have nothing to lose by blowing them off and voting Second party.
C.E.W., for the first time I entertain doubts as to whether we will have an election. I will be happy and relieved to be here discussing our vote in November of 2016.
From an article in the July 6th edition of the Concord (NH) Monitor:
A thin haze of campfire smoke blurred the sunset over the hills of the Great North Woods and mingled with the tangy smell of marijuana. Welcome to PorcFest. The music came from Buzz’s Big Gay Dance Party, held June 27, the penultimate night of an annual five-day long experiment in libertarian living courtesy of the Free State Project.
The locals know what really motivates the Free Staters...
With Dana Perino as their Press Secretary.
Why do we want to run a guy who took second place, in a race with a strong running mate?
No more Romney.
We already tried Romney. He LOST.

live free or, Do ya wanta hit this man?
