Agreed. Used to be red. Then purple. If we had honest elections would probably still be slightly red. They’ve a horrible tendency to support RINOs, but still have never been legitimately “blue” by an honest count.
There are more people who call themselves Independent/Undeclared than either Dems or Reps in NH now.
However, I when I speak to a lot of these people and ask them their views, they tend to be more Liberal than Conservative.
Most of them really just hate politics in general. They really do not like either side. Unfortunately, they also tend to be misinformed because they care more about the Bruins & Celtics and other forms of “bread and circuses” than politics.
The biggest issue in NH politics is that the Dems are BETTER FINANCED and BETTER ORGANIZED than the Republicans. I just spoke last week to a wealthy lawyer who is a major figure in a small bank I am an investor. He told me about how this woman who clerked with this DC person and who worked with this other prominent Dem in DC was going to run for the Congressional seat #2 that Annie Kuster was retiring from.
This woman has worked in DC for 20 years. So, she will have big Dem money funding her campaign for Congress NH2. Meanwhile, we have Lilly Tang Williams as the main person running on the Republican side.
