Most likely.

Paradoxically, I think that New Hampshire is beginning to slip from the GOP's grasp, but even more importantly, veering away from liberatarian conservatism into the morass of Northeasten liberalism.

That's why I thought that former Gov. Benson's warm reception of the the "free-staters" was a wise political maneuver.

If the Republicans can engineer a ticket containing both him and Gov. Owens-another executive from a state that the libs are furiously besieging-then I don't think Hillary-or Edwards, or Bayh, or whomever-has a shot in hell of capturing the White House in '08.

Maybe the good folks of New Hampshire be more learned if they suffer through a few years of Socialism, a Commie pretending to be "independent", businesses driven out of state, and tax hikes everywhere.

Those who voted for that Socialist AARP bus-driving scumbag of a Governor here in Montana will hopefully learn their lesson well. He's already made a going concern of driving business out of state. I'm contemplating moving out of Montana. I'm sick and tired of it. The Republicans here in Montana are gutless morons.
