What is the deal with Fred only getting 1%? Did he air an ad insulting New Hampshire beers? Or perhaps they finally found out that he was the one who broke the Old Man of the Mountain (because there can be only one mountain man when Fred is in New Hampshire).
Fred didn’t get any support -- they disdained him for being a southern conservative, but they hated him for blowing off the state.
NH voters have never been real fond of Southerners. Also, he ticked off the NH GOP from the get go, because instead of attending the GOP debate on the evening before he announced, he opted for going on Jay Leno to announce that he was entering the race. I think they got their knickers in a twist and were against him from the beginning. Fred did do some campaigning early on in NH, but anymore, they're not his kind of Republicans.
