NH is a suburb of Boston. Fugetaboutit.
pulled only 45 percent of the vote, which is actually a higher number than any poll reading she recorded this year.
Of course the GOPE has been busy making anti-conservative rules
NH has no business determining the Republican Presidential nominee, nor does Iowa. Two states that have voted precisely once for President in the general over the span of three decades.
Let’s see how the national Democrats would react if their nominee was chosen by Wyoming, Oklahoma or West Virginia today.
Giving “moderates” control of the republican party would be like the allied forces in WWII giving control to Japan in their fight against Germany. Makes no sense.
Who are these Republicans of “a certain age” who remember Rockefeller “fondly”? I’m 70 and I remember him for exactly what he was: a northeast liberal (like all the northeast Republicans of his time) who refused to support Goldwater or any other conservative who didn’t suck up to the GOPe. Sort of like today...
Romney does this every 4 years.
Romney, author of ObamaCARE with Gruber, IS the GOP.
N.H. may as well be a Boston suburb. Why do we keep thinking the GOP can win there?
The GOP’s first caucuses and primaries should be in Texas and Utah. The candidates won’t get questions like “what do you plan to do for children’s health care?” and will get questions like, “Should we give Muslims a 3 day warning before we nuke Mecca, or just do it right after your inauguration?”
John Sununu, who brought the Republican Party, David Souter as a Supreme Court Justice (which would be tantamount to the Democrats putting Rush Limbaugh on the Court) sees his life mission as doing all he can to insure a liberal Republican emerges from New Hampshire and secures the Presidential nomination. John McCain and Mitt Romney both had Sununu support. Sununu is poison to conservatives. And the rule changes are all part of the package, along with “open primaries” in early states where a conservative might win a closed primary.
All these things are reasons why we need a new conservative Party. The Republican Party has decided to be the minor leagues for the Democrats. Good conservative elected officials and alumni can make this happen fast. The Repubiican Party will spend the next two years targeting conservatives and collaborating with Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi and Obama. Get used to it.
