Sickening. Teeps up in NH have surrendered to the republican establishment. I hope this doesn’t spread.
That is exactly what all these polls are trying to do!! Trying to demoralize the conservatives into voting for Romney. Sorry but I think Newt will do much better once the voting actually begins.
This is a dopey thread. NH is the home of the peasants with pitchforks. Buchanan and the old Flat Tax Jerry Brown/Steve Forbes did great in the Granite State. In the last election the Dems lost 300 seats in a 400 seat legislature after their rising tide in 2006 and 2008. There are Teep’s everywhere. It’s a mish mash of lefty’s, RINO’s and Teep’s. Just like every friggin’ place else.
That said, Romney has super close ties to the state. The Boston & Manchester TV stations only cover him and Gingrich. Newt is being swept along by the Union Leader while the Sununu’s (and the old GOP’ers) hate Gingrich. There is a news blackout on Santorum and Bachman.
As a simple matter of “who can win in the end” it’s obvious why folks would lean toward Mittens. What possible good could come of nominating Santorum or Bachman (my faves) and losing 40 states so we can all be pure and Obama gets 4 more years to dismantle our wonderful country ?
All we have to choose from is Newt, Mittens, Santorum, Bachman and Paultard ! This after the McLame and Dole fiascos. If you take the leap that Gingrich is a ticking negative-ad time bomb and not really that conservative and we MUST win the election what else are you going to do ? Write in Coolidge?
