Game's ON... My prediction... Obama in a blowout, McCain by 5.
He’s already paid (allotted) for Kansas *after* Feb 5...
Awesome! Thanks for the link!!!
Nice map. Useful. Mitt should have a rally at Cowpens. A great place to rally an upset and a place that remembers when northerners were on the side of the South.
For a sometimes entertaining view, from space somewhere, of all the candidates check out Star Wars Guide to the Candidate The source isn't conservative but isn't humor free either. With one female and one dark skinned role to be played the assignments are interesting, and arguably correct.
Straw man. Independents can vote for whomever they choose. They do now. If evangelicals departed from the GOP en masse, they would have that same right. So......what’s your point? Can only vote for a Republican if you’re a party member?
Oh bother....sigh....read my question again...you can leave, where else are you going to find a viable candidate?
You’ll end up voting for a Republican anyway, whether you’re in the party or not...strawman...lol Straw hat!
Interesting. Thanks for the information regarding the Cougar Club. I notice that my previous post included a typo (the word “not” shouldn’t have been included, as the two men reportedly were both members of that organization).
You just aren’t paying attention, are you.......
Seems to be a common problem around here lately.
Did you catch Ted on Dennis Miller last week? Priceless!

Well if a scam was done, it was NOT done proportionally.
We need only look at the five counties of Coos, Hillsborough, Rockingham, and Strafford where Hillary got over 41% of the vote.

Your figures show that the Dem increase was quite similar across all the ocunties, which means that the "invisible buses" full of clinton voters had to have fanned out across the whole state
Instead, as Barone showed on his blog today, the Obama- CLinton pattern closely replicated the Bradley-Gore (and Hart-Mondale) pattern. Obama did best in upscale trendy areas, Clinton did best in Blue Collar and Industrial areas. The county pattern you displayed shows exactly that.
Invisible buses? They made the news. There was plenty of talk about Hillary busing in people for the campaign stops.
and no, the New Hampshire state numbers don’t show a ‘fan out across the state’ result. They show primarily a heavy increase in Hillsborough (18,100), Rockingham (15,368), and Strafford (7,022).
U'm... that I won? Please, I was not even a candidate.
The analysis was on the counties that Hillary won by a margin that was the mirror image of Obama's expected winning percentage and the percentage that he won in Belknap, Carroll, Cheshire, Grafton, Merrimack and Sullivan.
I did not 'assume' a "true" vote. I was saying that if we are going to look for localized cheating, we should only look in the counties that Hillary deviated significantly above her polling numbers in. Those counties are Coos, Hillsborough, Rockingham and Strafford.
If you are going to post about others blogs, please post a link so we can find them. By the way, his analysis would not hold water. The polls were all fairly accurate on the percentage turnout for all the other candidates. The main flier being Hillary getting an unexpected 9 point boost from somewhere.
Anyway, I don’t see why there is an assumption that they would take buses. It is a very short simple car trip.
The most likely places to look would be those that H pulled in the most votes.
The top three voting spots where she got the most votes are:
Salem Rockingham
2,869 votes for Hillary (51% Hillary 27% Obama)
Derry Rockingham
2,387 votes for Hillary (45% Hillary 31% Obama)
Merrimack Hillsborough
2,325 votes for Hillary (43% H 35% O)
She also heavily beat her standard percentage.
The standard candle should be Edwards. He ran in both races, so we have a measure of how he should do in each county.
Deviations of Edwards votes from average votes in 2004
Belknap 1.0%
Carroll -1.7%
Cheshire -0.5%
Coos -0.4%
Grafton -2.5%
Hillsborough 0.5%
Merrimack 0.6%
Rockingham -0.2%
Strafford 0.9%
Sullivan -0.1%
TOTALS 0.0%
The next spots to check after that would be:
Hudson, Bedford, Goffstown, Pelham, Milford, NashuaWard5, ManchesterWard1, NashuaWard1 in Hillsborough county.
Hooksett in Merrimack
Londenderry, Hampton, Exeter and Windham in Rockingham
