“I left Massachusetts because I hated Romneycare. At least if the Supremes toss Obamacare it is very unlikely he can pass it again in a second term. Not so sure about Mitt”.

That’s my guess anyhow.

That was my thought - since when is NH a “swing state”?

I remember when the Free State Project decided New Hampshire was the place to go. I guess they were duped by the “live free or die” on the flag.

What internals? For all I can tell, PPP surveyed New Hampshire woodland creatures. (I don't buy this poll for a minute.)

You are correct...the problem is more New Yorkers than Massholes...not sure which is worse...the NY’ers, or ticks. Of course; they are BOTH parasites.

Got to remember that NH is in the northeast. Obama has pretty much lost what is called “flyover country” . Still pretty much one and done.

In 2010 the voters of New Hampshire kicked *both* their Congresscritters (who were Rats) to the kerb and replaced them with Republicans.And at the same time they elected a Republican to the United States Senate.And now,all of a sudden,they're gonna give Osama Obama a landslide victory?

Sorry,I'm not buying it! Not for a minute.

Not only is the new senator a republican, but also she is a tea partier.

Wow, New Hampshire.....how many electoral votes is that?

This is gonna be a close one.Anyone,on either side,who says otherwise is delusional.In 2000 algore came within something like 1000 votes of carrying NH.And if he "had" carried it the "hanging chads" would have meant *nothing*,algore would be "former President algore" today.Check the stats.

WE MUST FIGHT FOR EVERY ELECTORAL VOTE!

PPP is an arm of the Dem party. Rasmussen is the only poll I believe in. Obama is sinking fast in NC per Drudge headline 51%-43%. NC is also a swing state.

Ditto, I call BS on this NH poll. Obama is NOT popular around here at all. Also, most Massholes who move up here, tend to be the conservatives that did it to escape Mass.
The problem has been New Yorkers and other people form the mid Atlantic that are retiring to their lakefront vacation home.

However, 2 years ago NH swung back to Republican in a huge way. We retook the NH house, NH senate, both US congress seats and kept retiring Judd Gregg’s US Senate seat. So unless they polled Keene, Durham and Hanover(all college towns)I call BULL SH*T on this poll.

In 2010 the voters of New Hampshire kicked *both* their Congresscritters (who were Rats) to the kerb and replaced them with Republicans.

Pro-choice retread Congressman Charlie Bass...Republican, a la Collins, Snowe, and Romney. Many in NH voted GOP in the belief that they would make the attempt to overturn the 'gay marriage' law...of course; once the GOP legislature was seated; repeal of gay marriage was relegated to the back burner. (Suckers.) Bass and Guinta were the beneficiaries of the 'down ticket' vote. Even at that, Bass barely eaked out a razor-thin victory over baby-butcher 'Annie' McLean Kuster. She is running against Bass again...

Ayotte? ROTFLMAOPIMP! Sorry...Sarah screwed up with that endorsement...Ovide was the conservative; she barely squeaked by him in the primary. Let it go, folks...NH is not a conservative state. It will trend more and more liberal as conservatives continue to leave the state...
