I think Dean will be close to Kerry. An outside chance he could even win it.

New Hampshire knows Kerry, many of its residents fled MA to escape the kind of politics that Kerry and Kennedy represent. And Kerry has a pretty repulsive history.

I don't think most people know it but Dean is actually far less of an America-hater than Kerry is. Kerry really is the French candidate for president.

I don't think Lieberman breaks 10% in NH. I think Clark has cracked up. Clark and Lieberman and Kucinich fade to obscurity after NH.

I see Kerry and Dean at the top with no big runaway by whichever wins. Then Edwards, maybe as high as 20%. The rest of them will be under 15%, I think.

Zogby says Dean has caught Kerry. Dean back in dead heat with Kerry

It sounds like a crazy poll but we have learned not to doubt Zogby over the years.

I hope you're right, Dean is unelectable. OTOH, I think all of the candidates are unelectable. The only ticket that (some say) gives the Democretins a chance is Kerry/Edwards. Or Dean/Clark. The trouble comes from the extreme factionalism in the party. This may be due to the behind the scenes machinations of the Clinton Gang to try to put Hillary into the White House. The ONLY thing the Democritics have to keep them from flying apart is Bush Hatred. They've not been in this bad shape since they lost a squeaker (about 100,000 votes nationwide) in 1968 and had Nixon Hatred to unify them. They lost 49 out of 50 states in 1972. Only George Washington has won all the Electoral College votes.

New Hampshire Democratic Presidential Primary
Washington Post
The 2002 elections treated Republicans in New Hampshire well. Not since 1994 have Republicans dominated an election as they did last year, sweeping top offices and making big gains in both houses of the Legislature. Part of the Republican sweep in 2002, Republican Gov. Craig Benson's anti-tax platform easily trumped Democrat Mark Fernald. Benson will seek a second term in 2004. Republican Sen. Judd Gregg also faces re-election for the seat he has held since 1992... Benson and the Legislature clashed when he vetoed the budget this past year. He said he felt it spent too much money and would result in an income tax... The eventual budget Benson did sign increased spending by roughly 8 percent over two years, when federal money, gasoline taxes and other funding sources are included. In the 2002 elections, Republican Rep. John E. Sununu led a statewide GOP rout by narrowly defeating Democratic Governor Jeanne Shaheen in the Senate race. Shaheen has since been named national chairwoman of Democrat John Kerry's presidential campaign. In the House races, moderate Republican Jeb Bradley defeated Democrat Martha Fuller to win the seat which Sununu gave up to run for the Senate.
