NH Primary 2012

[Timothy]

Reminds me of when I worked in a store that sold lottery.  A gentleman bought a scratch ticket.  He scratched it in the store.  He handed it back to me and said "I think I just won $50."  I, being the honest idiot I am, checked it and said "No, you just won $500."  Sucks to be like that sometimes.

No it doesn't!

I was quizzed on an exit poll during the 2008 election in a rather liberal little town I lived in here in MA. 

My answer..."none of your damn business!  Good day sir!"

I think people enjoy these polls and don't hesitate to answer the question.

It makes them feel important, when in fact the people who actually know what dumb asses they are don't give a crap what they think.

MANCHESTER, N.H.--Mitt Romney won the New Hampshire primary Tuesday, the second state in a row he has carried in his campaign for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination.

Romney is the first Republican, not including incumbent presidents, to win both the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary since Iowa Republicans began holding their first-in-the-nation caucuses in 1976.

Ron Paul came in second; Jon Huntsman in third.

It was a start-to-finish victory for Romney in New Hampshire, who led in the polls here throughout the 2012 campaign. Romney owns a summer home in the state, which borders his home state of Massachusetts, where he served as governor from 2003 to 2007.

From here, the candidates go on to South Carolina, the first primary in the South. There, Romney's electoral dominance will not be a such a foregone conclusion. South Carolina is more conservative than New Hampshire, which will give Rick Perry--who campaigned in South Carolina while voters in New Hampshire went to the polls--and Rick Santorum a possible edge. For both of them, the Jan. 21 primary will be a crucial test of the lasting power of their campaigns. Pressure will be high for Newt Gingrich as well, in part because South Carolina borders Georgia, his home state. He did not perform well in the first two primary contests, and his ambitions could be crippled if he fails to garner many votes in South Carolina.

In addition to a more conservative electorate, South Carolina Republicans have developed a reputation for hosting rough-and-tumble presidential primaries. When Mitt Romney arrives there tomorrow, he will face a $3.5 million negative television advertising assault from the pro-Gingrich "Winning Our Future" super PAC. The first substantial and sustained attack against Romney, it will target his tenure at Bain Capital, the venture capital firm he helped found.
