This bothers me NH has Rs for all statewide offices and the Senate/Legislature is a huge majority of Rs. How can Kerry be ahead!! Anyone have any incite as to how this will play out? Also since it is so close anyone have any insight as to how good Bush's Ground Game is in NH?

The last governor's race gives us a good clue. Though Republicans are the majority party, Independents are a close second, and Democrats a near third. And though Republicans are generally popular with the electorate, Bush and *his* war are not.

So far, only about 200-300 of us have moved to the state, since the Free State Project agreement only obligates one to move when 20,000 members are recruited.

Of course. But there are always those on the cutting edge blazing the paths for others to follow. Arlen Specter's recent squeaker makes it clear how important even a handful of dedicated and active voters can be, and now that the worst of this year's late Winter and early Spring weather is out of the way, that number will hopefully continue to grow even before the entire 20K sign on and begin their move.

And, of course there are some who are and have been NH residents all along, who have the experience and background as to how the game has been played in NH up to now. I believe that's about to change.

You can't swing a stick in southern New Hampshire without hitting a MassHole.

Get more sticks. And swing them more often.

Get a couple for friends, too. Reinforcements are coming.

Amish? do they even have phones?

Just black ones. Very plain, and without zippers.

Unfortunately Bush will drop a bit more in the polls because of his Iraqi policies.

If they win, look for Kerry to never travel without Hillary.

If they win, look for Hillary to never travel with Kerry.

Actually, a preannounced public deal between presidential candidate and his VP that the president intends to serve only one term, then to hand the candidacy to the VP in the next elaction 4 years hence would probably be a smart and popular move, if the VP were a single term senator who had held no previous political office. That'd gain the VP candidate at least some appearance of global foreign policy/foreign relations experience, especially if there was also considerable sympathy for the candidate by virtue of her being a recent widow.

Maybe the illegal votes he's depending on from unregistered Mexican citizens will save him.

Their previous poll in February had Kerry up 15% over Bush.

The honeymoon would seem to be over for JFK.

I will vote for him but I no longer expect him to win. All those fine words in the speeches mean nothing if you don't deliver. "Overwhelming force" was promised but now the terrorists have won the first battle for Fallujah because Bush et. al. lost their nerve.

That is incorrect, very very incorrect. Voting against someone is a big motivator, often more of a motivating factor that voting for someone.
