If they are basing their calculations on evangelicals alone, they would be right. But Cruz has also been courting the libertarian vote, which is significant in NH. Ron Paul got 23% in NH in 2012. And with Rand Paul out, there are no other candidates appealing to that group.

Starting to see Trump slip a little, I see. It will be interesting to see tomorrow with the effect of yesterday’s “Trumpertantrum” in the mix.

Hmmm, interesting analysis. I had not thought about the Libertarian vote.

Someone else on another thread posted that he "knew a guy who refused to vote for a guy who colored his hair with Tang!

So besides those Paul Libertarians, there could be a strong anti-Tang vote that we're failing to take into account!

Bingo, the narrative about Cruz only being about religion may look good to the media but he has a very strong libertarian following based on things like his 10th amendment stance, taxes etc.
