Independents in my state do not get to vote in the primary unless there is an independent candidate running.
New Hampshire is a primary that really means nothing,except as a money pit for the candidates.
The coffers in Red Hampshire are suffering this year...they rely on that 9% meals and lodging tax. It took a hit when Bachmann dropped out and Perry took a detour. Tourism is taking a BIG hit because there is NO SNOW at all on the ground...no snow = no skiers or snowmobilers = no sales tax revenue.
