The only hope for Perry in New Hampshire is an upset win in Iowa followed by a huge bandwagon effect. Except...

1) Perry won't win Iowa unless Bachmann completely melts down.

2) New Hampshire prides itself on resisting any bandwagon effect from Iowa.

Otherwise, everything looks great for Perry in NH.

If Romney wins N.H,, it will not settle anything. The other primaries and caucusses may split among several candidates. Maybe Perry wins in the south and parts of the west, Romney in the NE. and West Coast, Bachman in midwest with Paul picking up a few here and there. It could get very interesting.

So, Romney leads in NH, so what? Will NH deliver its electoral votes to the GOP even if, G** forbid, Romney were the nominee? Why should Conservatives care a whit what NH thinks? It would be a serious error to allow states like NY, NJ, Calif, Ill to select the nominee. None of the bunch will deliver an electoral vote to the GOP.

We are being set up by The GOP Ruling Elite for their Anointed One, Mittens Romney.

Start now to stop them.

I am with C lint on this. Romney is going down. There is nothing under his hat. I predict right here that Ron Paul's message of peace and proserity will carry the day in both Iowa and New Hampshire. Ron Paul also leads Perry in Texas. The fact tha Gingrich Perry and Bachman are all atacking the Fed proves my point. Ron Paul is the intellectual giant setting the agenda for the whole Republican party. The people want the Fed gone and the soldiers home with their families. They want and to foreign aid, almost all of which goes to Israel and the Arabs.

Jack gets it.

There is A Rebellion in America

And, now GOP Candidates are hustling to Parrot what Dr.Ron Paul has said for years on Issues like The FED, The Debt , Inflation, Foreign Aid down the rat hole etc.

The Tea Party Rebellion Is Here.

Rise Up In Rebellion.

Hello clueless AS blogger , the NH primary is open to anyone not just GOP voters so its meaningless in todays world.
Now that ACCORN, Obama socialist Unions ( SEIU) , and Soros have set up strong fraudulent voters scams this primary is completely useless.
Who cares about the results when a bunch of Dems voters can play games and vote for Romney or Paul . The state has been over run by granola lefties from MA for decades and its almost lost.
The RNC should have moved closed that primary or move it to a way later date.
NH results means nothing in a world in which the radical Axelrod Billionaire Soros - Buffet party is capable of really anything.

Thats right. The New Hampshire primary is open to anyone. That is just like the Wisconsin primary. If Romney has so much support from the independents and democrats he would win. Ron Paul gets the best support from these groups by far. That is why he will win the New Hampshire primary. Most people in New Hamshire are against endless war and foreign aid. They will come out in droves for Ron Paul. No Republican can win without the votes of a lot of independents and democrats. Ron Paul does the best among those groups.

Jack and Clint---you willing to put a little wager on your bloviating? I am. But all I hear in return is the sound of crickets. You stop posting if Paul wins no caucuses or primaries, I stop posting if he wins even one.

I hear nothing but the desert wind, and the sound of the chickens clucking.

Perry will win in all the southern states from Virginia on down and to AZ in the West and to North Dakota to the north. And all the nomidwestern western states including Idaho, Wyoming and Montana. End of story, who cares about Iowa and NH. They are but a couple of fleas on my ass.
