I think Ron Paul's going to win New Hampshire |
|
Seems to be a pretty darn Libertarian state. And they love monetary policy talk for some reason - underdogs and "mavericks", too. McCain no longer fits that bill, and Huckabee won't really connect with New Englanders. They know to much about Mitt & Rudy for them to win.
On our side, I have no idea - but Edwards really set himself apart from the others last night, FWIW.

I don't think he can win.

This is a totally uninformed opinion, so I decided to post it in GD-P.

Sorry Biden didn't get a lot of press. I'm not a fan, but the fascist media showed itself what it is again

9. Both Romny and McCain have a lot of friends in NH... |

Romny has a summer house there and McCain has spent a lot of time there working various causes.

8. Paul is a nutjob and a fraud. |
|
His economic policies are downright dangerous.
He opposes the Civil Rights Act.
His position on birthright citizenship is code for repealing the 14th Amendment, which includes both equal protection and due process.
His ties to white supremacist groups are stronger than the $500 the media made noise about.
He claims fiscal responsibility, yet adds millions in earmarks to bills he knows will pass, then votes "no" to keep up the charade.
No sane thinking person should ever consider voting for this twit unless they absolutely hate the social and economic progress this country has made in 200+ years and wish to reverse it.

It was great to at least hear someone on that stage talking about getting us out of the war.

He has done a good job of tapping into a vein of libertarian discontent, and he's probably going to make double digits, but he's not going to win. He's too closely tied to the "Free State Project" crowd, and that is a big negative with a lot of folks.
