He’s leading in 3 early primary states and is #2 nationally.
The whole 1976 "McGovern wins New Hampshire, now all the Democratic-sheep will vote for him" bathos so beloved by political reporters (including Hugh) is B.S.
This election has had a year of run up! 10 debates!! People have made up their own damn minds and are not waiting with baited breath to see that New Hampshire loves a liberal Republican from Mass. (Big Surprise, THAT!).
Anyone remember the administration of President Tsongas? President Dukakis? I didn't think so.
You also have to credit his "bigot" theory, which he has several hours a day to trot out on his radio show. Wherein anyone not voting for Mitt because of his Mormonism is a "bigot". We'll Hugh can bully and call names on his radio show, but in the privacy of the ballot box I think many Americans will make different choices than Dr. Harvard Law suggests they make.
Ultimately Hugh is a neo-con, so he's supporting one of the two neo-con candidates. Loudly.
Here is Rasmussan daily. It shows a dead tie between all four of the "not Rudy" candidates. The only real trend I see recently is Rudy stepping away from the lot of them.
