If the southern tip of New Hampshire, that part of the state closest to Boston, Mass., were to be split off and made into a separate state, which of the two New Hampshires would Republicans dominate?

Surprisingly, it would be the section full of Massachusetts transplants and which is sometimes derisively called "Massahampshire."

Well it all comes down to being a part of the problem or part of soloution. We all have to work or give something to ensuring the least damaging candidate will win. Going into the last two elections, party republicans in NH hated there own candidates, and assumed they would win as they always have. Wrong, we got Che-Porter, and Dough Head Hodes, and do nothing Lynch. The State Republican machine was at war with itself and lost big-time.

I think allot of these “advanced degreed” folks are so indoctrinated to be liberals - it’s just natrual to VOTE liberal.

Very true. I know a woman from Mass who has a bachelors degree in Electronics and an MBA. She told me a couple of years ago she would vote Hilliary in an instant. I got to talking about politics with her and she had NO IDEA whether she was on the LEFT or the RIGHT politically!! I don't think she knew if she was liberal or conservative either!

God help us!

“Liberals from MA fleeing the destruction they had caused, and going to NH to start a new round of destruction.”

Some of the same liberals say that we’ve ruined the Earth and we will eventually move to the Moon.

Yep. The Dems took over the New Hampshire legislature in 2006. The State is turning Blue. And Sununu may be a goner. Judd Gregg may be next.

What do we propose to do about it, I am pretty much game for anything and I am not one of those that likes to play nice.

When is the next Freep in Rochester? I am on the sea coast.

These newcomers have college degrees, many advanced, and work in high-tech, academia and other specialized fields throughout the state. They are affluent and very liberal.

They are liberal because they believe they are smart enough to tell everyone else kow they should live. It is the arrogance of braininess that draws them, not the usual victimology of the leftwing crackpots. They of course also naturally assume that they are exempt from following the dicta they lay down for others.
