McCain outflanks Giuliani in N.H.
2007-12-19
Sen. John McCain's resurgent strategy to capture independent voters in New Hampshire is forcing a flagging Rudolph W. Giuliani to scale back his efforts in the state and pin his hopes on later primaries.

The Arizona senator this month swept into second place in state polls, besting the former New York mayor for the first time since July, and yesterday Mr. McCain picked up the endorsement of a former Democratic senator admired by many New Hampshire independents. "McCain's gain is Giuliani's loss; the two are tied together," said Dante Scala, a political scientist at the University of New Hampshire. "They both appeal to a somewhat more moderate Republican voter, so I think if McCain is going up, it's likely that Giuliani is drifting downward, and that's exactly what has been happening the last month."

#8  KBK: I was filling my wife in on how to be a spoiler (we're both undeclared) - question is, should I vote for Hillary or Obama?

Vote for Obama. I would prefer to see an Obama effect in the general election than in the Democratic primaries. Besides, an Obama effect would be more memorable in the general election.

#6  NH lets unregistered voters vote in primaries.

"undeclared", actually. You do have to be registered, though it can be done earlier on election day. But no longer is it anything like having to be a male landowner who's lived in the state for five years.

#1  Whoever wrote this story has less brains than Mr. Potato Heads Bucket of Parts.

They are making an honest effort to convince us that McCain is picking up registered Republican voters in the Republican Primary because he got endorsed by a former Democrat senator who is admired by independents.

This is some far fetched shit. I'd sooner believe that the optimum water to ice ratio in Frank G's bong is 100:1
