New Hampshire is a very war and military oriented state |
|
NH has more soldiers per capita than any other state. I believe that Hillary's fear card worked well up there. They really buy into the whole 'terror' stuff and that's why McCain done so well.

Those people voted for Republicans. We are actually very well educated near the Mass border (professionals) and are 50% of NH's population. Hillary had a margin of over 10000 votes in the southern part of the state.

2. It's not a liberal state...voted for Bush in 2000 |
|
Hillary was smart to play the Al Queda card and it worked cause the more conservative you, irresprective of your political identification, the more you're going to be scared of the muslims. McCain is the biggest war mongering in the whole field and Hillary is the most war-mongering Democrat. It makes sense that both of them won.

5. I hated the stupid Al Queda card |
|
It had no effect on my feeling that she was being ass-raped by the media just for fun. We said "shut the fuck up!" tonight.

3. McCain did well because, for some bizarre reason, he appeals to Independents. |

11. McCain did well because the repubs here don't like bush Or |
|
"mitt" or "rudie"-
They didn't like bush sr- or jr- McCain's win in 2000 really pissed off bush- I believe that was so pleasing to my repub neighbors that they can't forget.

4. That's why they voted for two staunchly anti-war Representatives in 2006? |

9. what do you know about us? |
|
and who are you to say who we are?
The 'fear' card doesn't work well here at all.
We aren't fear based people- Stubborn- hell yes, independent- too much so, but the 'terror' card doesn't play well here.
If you knew anything about us, you'd know that.
it's been a hard day- wish I had more patience but I'm sick to death of being characterized as "lilly white"- "ignorant" "racist"- "backwards" "odd" etc.
We're every bit a part of the whole that is America- thank you kindly~

14. Actually, I thought it was my state of Vermont that has |
|
more soldiers per capita than any other state. I know we've had more soldiers killed in Iraq per capita than any other state. And we are definitely not a war and military oriented state. And neither is NH. And no, exit polling contradicts your loony assumption.
Do you know what a logical fallacy is? Your post defines it.

15. NH spoke. No excuses. Applaud them for exercising their rights. |
|
But I'm not going to applaud them lying to pollsters.
Still, the only thing that matters is the results, and the results are in. As long as there was no monkey business, they have spoken as is their right.
