The Latest New Hampshire Republican primary poll (12/13/11)
Note: This is a mobil post, I hope that I created the correct code and the link I provided works. If it does not I will fix it when I get my computer back tomorrow night.
The latest Rasmussen New Hampshire Republican primary poll has just been released and it shows us that one candidate appears to be surging, however that candidate may not be the person you have in mind.
According to thispoll Mitt Romney holds an advantage over Newt Gingrich by a margin of 33%-22%.
This poll shows Romney increasing his lead over Gingrich ever so slightly as the last Rasmussen poll had Romney ahead of Gingrich by a 34%-24% margin.
While the top two contenders have seen their numbers virtually unchanged here in New Hampshire it is none other than Ron Paul who appears to be gaining momentum in the Granite State.
Ron Paul has moved into third place, just four points behind Newt Gingrich and now has the support of 18% of the voters surveyed in New Hampshire.
I believe this shows that New Hampshire voters are unhappy with both of the front runners that the main stream media is trying to force upon us– Mitt (I really am a conservative now) Romney and Newt (my past is a legitimate issue until you question me about it) Gingrich–and are beginning to look elsewhere.
This race is still just beginning and while the main stream media is telling us that either Romney or Gingrich is destined to become the nominee, the fact is that not one person has cast a vote yet so it is way too early to crown a victor in this race.
We let the main stream media chose a RINO for us in 2008 and they have tried to narrow our choices down to two RINOs this time around, are we going to allow them to do this to us again?
I happen to like Rick Santorum–although I haven’t made my mind up yet– and Sarah Palin recently predicted that if Republican voters wanted an ideologically consistent conservative Rick Santorum would make a move in the polls.
I don’t think that is going to happen, but Ron Paul’s momentum in this state may offer us a clue that Romney and Gingrich aren’t as entrenched as the front runners as the main stream media would have us believe.

I’ve come to believe that others, ….. can like me (having come out of college as a hard-core leftist) and come to understand the founding father’s intent and I support Newt. Ron Paul is not in reality – he thinks like Obama that all we have to do is make “nice” with Iran and it’ll all be .ok.
For once, we disagree …..

It had to happen sooner or later. 🙂 Although I agree with you on Ron Paul, his Iran policy is much like Obama’s and it worries me to the point where I cannot support him.

Sometimes, Steve, I think that there are plenty of GOPers who wouldn’t vote for Jesus Christ Himself because he consorts with known sinners, he drinks wine (or enables those who do), has a bad temper and cannot swim.
It looks to be an interesting winter and spring in the Granite State. Friends live there; one teaches videography and his class has been taping interviews with the candidates. They’re having experiences they’ll be relating to their grandchildren.
I wish you the very best.
Take good care and may God bless us all!

I just think it’s part of the process TGY, now is the time to sort out the candidates to find out whose flaws we can best live with. There never will be a perfect candidate so we must vet the candidates to find out who has the values and beliefs closest to ours. In the end most Republicans will fall in line and vote for the nominee.

I agree with Josiahe. Ron Paul exists on another plane of reality with his views on how to conduct a foreign policy that is in our national interest….WM

I also agree, I have major problems with Paul’s foreign policy.

To accept Ron Paul’s position on foreign policy is simple but costly. Simple because the principles involved are consistent and rational. Costly because it involves realising that what has been done up until now has been wrong; that killing hundreds of thousands of people overseas had no justification other than misdirected revenge and commercial gain.
Alternatively you can support Gingrich who will do anything to achieve his goals, with no conscience. Or Romney, who will do whatever it takes to maintain hegemony and the benefits that brings.

Yeah, we really do not have any great options here.

I like Santorum and Bachmann and think they would be a fantastic team. Problem is, while Newt is not a tried and true conservative, he is the brightest guy in the room and can easily wipe the floor with Obama in any/all debates, counter all ads the left puts out etc. which explains why he’s risen to the top of the list.
Santorum and Bachmann need more air time –

I would love to see Santorum get more time but that isn’t going to happen and we will be stuck with a nominee whose conservative credentials are in doubt.

Santtorun and Bachman may be “true conservatives,” but they’re also convinced that government can be the solution to the world’s problems if they’re put in charge. Sayingg tthat the government is the problem and in the next breath trying to use the government to advance social agendas is simply hypocritical.
Saw a good poster not too long ago:
If you don’t like gay marriage, don’t marry someone of the same sex.
If you don’t like pot, don’tt smoke it.
If you don’t like liquor sales on Sundays, don’t buy booze on Sunday.
If you don’t like abortion, don’t have one.
If you don’t like gay sex, don’t do it.
If you don’t like your rights taken away, don’t take others’ rights away.
Take good care and may God bless us all!

I will agree with that point; both sides want to regulate certain aspects of people’s lives, they just differ on which ones to regulate. I personally do not care about what a person does in their private life as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone else, and the only person who feels this way in the race is Ron Paul. But his foreign policy eliminates him from my consideration.

One thing about Ron Paul, even if you disagree with some of his policy ideas, he is the most honest and consistent of the leading candidates.
I’m starting to think Newt is a bigger RINO than Mitt.
