One question...if the people of NH are so concerned about their rights and freedom, WHY did Obama carry their state and why do Democrats keep getting elected in their state government?
Ditto MN, MI, OR, WA. Some of these state don't make sense.
they are just posers!
“..the people of NH are so concerned about their rights and freedom..”
Just big talk, that’s all.
Because NH is split between solid, freedom loving conservatives (and a few libertarians), mushy moderates, and liberals. Many of the liberals and moderates moved to the state in the last 10 years from Massachusetts.
Democrats win in NH because they dominate the electorate in our college towns -- no surprise -- and because there is a huge influx of money and organizational support for Democrats from out of state. Even in a local state rep race the Democrat has a budget measured in thousands, full time 'volunteer' staff, etc. The Republican is spending their own money, and has real local volunteers. The Republican volunteers have real jobs, the Democrat 'volunteers' are frequently full time community 'activists'. But even with the help in many local races the conservative candidates are contenders.
Obviously the conservatives need to get better organized and funded, but we're actually doing pretty well considering the flood of out of state liberal money and people the arrive to influence our elections. Just to narrowly win the liberals need to outspend us by ten to one, and import their campaign volunteers.
Our top line Republican candidates lose for the same reason their national counterparts do - they try to pretend they are liberals to appeal to the moderates. But even mushy moderates prefer a real liberal to a fake liberal, and conservatives don't get excited by RINOs.
