"New Hampshire voters do not support Obama strongly."

Maybe the fact that NH went for Obama by ten points had more to do with McCain - I don't know. It does look like things are trending a bit more to red. I hope so.

My state is Washington. It is very close to falling completely subservient to one world environmental zealots. If Obama declared that all people should surrender their passports and bank accounts to the government as a matter of national security, I truly believe that most of this state would be stampeding to government centers to be the first in line.

Ironically a state poll just showed Obama down by 9 to Santorum. But, I don't believe it.

Your suspicion is well-founded: McCain was not well-liked here in NH (even though he narrowly won my county); he frequently came off as disingenuous, not taking our state's interests seriously. When he came to my office to speak, even the hard-core GOP people I talk to daily were far from impressed. And although Romney won our primary (with less than 40% of the total vote) he doesn't exactly set us on fire, either.

I must commiserate with your situation in Washington. You've not only got that whackjob Patty Murray in the Senate, but also Baghdad Jim McDermott, an outright Marxist in the House. I'm sure a lot of it has to do with the King County/Seattle metro area, without which most of Washington would be pretty conservative.
