ROMNEY TOPS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE

ON NH POLL: Don't have to tell "The Mittiot" about polls. In fact, I'm the last person to which you have to explain early polling - but poliwonks know "trends do matter" - and Romney is doing well in the momentum building, EP, states (EP as in "early primary"). Gander at MI, look longingly at Iowa, and down right ogle NH (and take a squint peak at SC) - Romney's doing A-OK. _______________________________________________________________ http://www.boston.com/news/local/politics/primarysource/2007/05/romney_leads_in.html Thursday, May 17, 2007 Romney leads in second NH poll For the second week in a row, Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney is leading in a poll of New Hampshire Republicans. Romney leads the new Zogby poll with 35 percent, solidly ahead of John McCain and Rudy Giuliani who were tied at 19 percent. The poll sampled 500 likely voters and had a margin of error of 4.5 percent. A poll last week by Survey USA had showed a similar lead for Romney in New Hampshire. _________________________________________________________________ Here's the fear of your humble Mittiot: WMR peeks too early. . . smart campaigns know that momentum is best building to a lather at the end - not the beginning. Now, you don't have to pull a "Street Sense" and come from 18th to 1st with steps to go - but hanging back in a strong 3rd or 2nd isn't a bad gig. Nationally, we're there - we just have to keep trending in the right direction! Romney's a smart Jockey - we'll be fine. ON McCAIN-KENNEDY: Yeesch, eck! Your normally loquacious Mittiot is stunned! NOTE TO MCCAIN: The illegals cannot vote for you! Build the FENCE - NOW - worry about the illegals already here after the last gun-tower goes up. This is as clear as my son's Mickey blues, THEY AIN'T GOIN' ANYWHERE - THAT'S THE PROBLEM! So focus on the securing the border - before another gaggle of low-rung, would-be-burdens storms the Rio, bringing another Jihadist in with 'em. They'll be time to figure out what to do with the illegals - ONCE THE BORDER IS SECURE. ON RON PAUL: The Mittiot has already professed his love for our State GOP Chairman, Saul Anuzis! But for a little spicy-spice, I've got to disagree: Ron Paul WAS NOT the first to put forth the idea that we (the God -Lovin' U S of A) asked for the Caliphate mongers - who've been fighting this "Holy War" for 2000 years - to come kill 3,200 plus fellow citizens. In fact, right when the two-towers came crashing down and we all scrambled for something to do to make us feel more than helpless - I fired an email off to my higher ed brethren reminding them that "America is at its' best when things are at their worst" - I got an email right back stating something to the effect that our greedy control of resources and exploitation of the world's down trodden caused this massacre of 9/11. . . Oh really? We're screwing the Middle East? By how? - BUYING THEIR ONLY COMMODITY, the sludge under their feet? Seems Ron Paul and the liberals have a belief in common - "everything is the fault of the US and Global Capitalism" - a new spin on blamin' the victim! ~so sayeth The Mittiot. Here's one more to chew on: "Why are the dems more concerned that WE give-up rather than Al Quieda?" (~so"asketh" The Mittiot.)
