Why is this a surprise? North east states are liberal and they have a choice between Liberal and Liberal-Lite, why go with the Lite? Thanks, Republican Party.
Exactl;y, This is not surprising for New hampshire.
It;s a state filled with yankee liberals who cannot tell sheit from Shinola.
“Why is this a surprise?”
It isn’t. Take a look at the electoral map in a few weeks and compare it to a map of the US circa 1862. See if anything leaps out at you. ;-)
NH isn’t a liberal state. It’s more liberal than it was 50 years ago...but so are a lot of places.
So, you think Palin or Cain, or Goode would have fared better than Romney in NH?
So by your logic if they ran a conservative these NE liberal states would go for the conservative? Uhm, yeah.
N.E states? you mean most all non-Confederate states are liberal.
