Sarah Palin is relatively unpopular here...

Understatement of the year.

Well, Sarah isn't exactly despised (the way she is in large swaths of our neighboring states), but mostly as a cultural matter, I don't think her personal style wears well here. Many of us NH types are kinda grumpy and taciturn by nature - we normally don't go for big yakkers and self-promoters...which makes Romney's relative popularity a bit surprising, even given the fact of his local residence.
