The Current Electoral College State of Play

By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary)  |  October 22nd at 04:05 PM  | 

Two weeks before Election Day, all signs point to this being a very tight election.  Romney clearly seized the momentum with his debate win two weeks ago – one which Obama failed to stop with his stronger performance last week.  Most national polls show Romney with a 2-3 point lead; however, the state polls show an even tighter race. One thing has not changed in | Read More »

Mitt Romney’s Bow, NH speech.

By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  July 21st at 12:30 PM  | 

Via DaTechGuy, the right note from Mitt Romney. Romney’s remarks in Bow, NH, July 20, 2012: (Transcript here) DaTechGuy reported that Romney, Senator Kelly Ayotte, and the priest brought in to offer a prayer for the Colorado dead then formed a line to greet each person who had come to what was originally supposed to be a campaign event. Which was appropriate. Moe Lane (crosspost)

Obama for America stiffing Durham, NH for… $30,000. Wait, WHAT?

By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  June 24th at 02:30 PM  | 

The very short version: President Barack Obama is scheduled to make a campaign speech on Monday, in the town of Durham, NH. This will cost the town an estimated sixteen to thirty thousand dollars in additional overtime for cops and fire officials and whatnot. The town is taking the position that while they’d be happy to eat the cost for a Presidential visit, a campaign | Read More »

Project Veritas stings New Hampshire Voter ID-less laws.

By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  January 11th at 02:00 PM  | 

Contrary to Matt Lewis, this is not unbelievable.  This is why we insist on Voter ID laws. To summarize the video, James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas sent a couple of people to New Hampshire primary polling places claiming that they were individuals that had actually died in the last couple months.  They were, of course, secretly filming the proceedings… and came away with footage of multiple | Read More »

Primary Day in New Hampshire

By: Neil Stevens (Diary)  |  January 10th at 10:30 AM  | 

I made a big deal about the polling in Iowa being skewed. However I have no reason to suspect oddness in the New Hampshire polling going into today. Open primaries are much easier to poll than closed caucuses. Jon Huntsman has rebounded rapidly, but he’ll likely finish behind Mitt Romney and Ron Paul.

NH Romney surrogate tells us to settle for his candidate.

By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  January 7th at 10:35 AM  | 

Via CNS (via Hot Air) comes this ‘argument’ from NH Romney supporter and state Senator Gary Lambert. To summarize it, Lambert wants us all to sit down, shut up, and endorse Romney despite the fact that Lambert himself is tacitly conceding that Romney does not share conservatives’ principles and beliefs. No, really.

Romney still leading, Huntsman out of the Hunt in New Hampshire?

By: Neil Stevens (Diary)  |  January 6th at 04:30 PM  | 

Three quick polls of New Hampshire came out this week to try to measure the effect of Iowa on New Hampshire. Predictably, the top three of Iowa are now the top three in New Hampshire. This matters most to the one candidate that put nothing into Iowa and everything into New Hampshire: Jon Huntsman.

Romney makes a breakthrough

By: Neil Stevens (Diary)  |  December 31st at 08:30 PM  | 

Newt Gingrich had about six weeks at the top or tied, but that run is over. Gallup has shown a slow decline for the Speaker, and now Mitt Romney benefits. He takes his first national lead since early November. Just in time for the actual delegate selection process to begin.

Don’t Settle: Rick Perry for President.

By: Dan McLaughlin (Diary)  |  December 19th at 11:00 AM  | 

Not a site endorsement; this is the view of the undersigned RedState Contributors. If this website has a purpose – if any conservative website or publication has a purpose – it must begin with electing conservatives to significant public offices. We have the chance to nominate a conservative for president and win the White House in 2012. We can fumble that chance away by settling | Read More »

The Union Leader’s endorsement record

By: Neil Stevens (Diary)  |  November 27th at 08:30 PM  | 

The New Hampshire Union Leader having endorsed Newt Gingrich in the Republican Presidential primary, I thought it would be worthwhile to look at how often the paper’s endorsed candidates actually go on to win the primary.

Union Leader Endorses Gingrich for President

By: Dan Spencer (Diary)  |  November 27th at 11:34 AM  | 

The New Hampshire Union Leader, New Hampshire’s largest newspaper endorses Newt Gingrich for president: America is at a crucial crossroads. It is not going to be enough to merely replace Barack Obama next year. We are in critical need of the innovative, forward-looking strategy and positive leadership that Gingrich has shown he is capable of providing. He did so with the Contract with America. He | Read More »

RS Interview: Ovide Lamontagne (R CAND, NH-GOV PRI).

By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  November 3rd at 02:30 PM  | 

This should have been up yesterday, but the various technical breakdowns that I was having were fairly epic.  Anyway: you probably remember Ovide Lamontagne as being a NH Senate Republican primary candidate in 2010… and for graciously conceding the race when he lost the primary, which may have well saved the GOP that seat in the general election.  At any rate, he’s currently the only | Read More »

Six weeks until the primary starts?

By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  October 13th at 01:45 PM  | 

If so, the luxury of taking one’s time with picking a favorite GOP candidate is about to go away: In a bombshell this afternoon, New Hampshire Secretary of State William Gardner raised the strong possibility of a December first-in-the-nation presidential primary. In a statement entitled “Why New Hampshire’s Primary Tradition is Important,” Gardner, who has full authority under state law to set the date of | Read More »

Romney running away with New Hampshire

By: Neil Stevens (Diary)  |  September 22nd at 09:30 AM  | 

Last time around, Mitt Romney took a blow when he took ‘silver’ in his neighboring state New Hampshire, losing to the man who’d been plotting to win the state since the last contested primary there, John McCain. This time it looks like Romney is going to repeat the McCain strategy. By never having given up on the state since November 2008, Romney looks set to | Read More »

Carole Shea-Porter… BROUGHT DOWN BY THE PRC?

By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  December 27th at 07:30 PM  | 

That’s the implication, at least: Ms. Shea-Porter is going around telling people that the reason that she lost was because of all that dirty, dirty (and apparently foreign) special interest money.  The quote: “They’re in the halls of Congress everywhere, and it means, for example, that you sit on a committee and you say something about concern about Chinese influence or something, you don’t even | Read More »
