Many here have mentioned Romney's low rating in Ma, which is a largely blue state. No state is 100% either red or blue.
But I have yet to see anyone mention what I would bet is a fine indicator of Mitt's chances in NH.
His vote total and percentage vs Scott Brown.
Both will lose, but unless MR actually polls several points better than Brown in Ma, I'd bet he loses NH, and quite frankly, it is a good indicator of how Ma feels about him.
After all, if Brown does better, it means folks who split tickets more often voted Brown, and not Romney, vs Romney, but not Brown.
Well Bob, I live in NH and I will be getting up bright and early tomorrow morning to do my part to remove Obama from office.
The average granite stater does not care what Romney's approval rating was when he left MA. A lot of independents I know are voting for Romney. If I had to make a prediction I'd say Romney carries NH by 2 to 5 points.
By the way, what the hell are you rambling on about Scott Brown relating to Romney in NH for? it makes no sense.
I am comparing Brown's poll numbers in Ma to Mitts'. Its embarrassing for an ex gov to fare worse than a Senator. That is not Ma being blue, it is Ma residents voting for Brown, and against Romney.
2010 was a tiny voting block, and they are aware Mitt left Ma with a 30% approval rating. Now if he fares better than Brown in Ma, NH goes Mitt.
From what I know, Mitt is very well liked in NH which has to be a reflection in some part of the job he did in Massachusetts. Him carrying NH is a bit of a stretch but not impossible.
So did my home state - Pennsylvania. That was 2 years ago ... ancient history in the world of politics.
I am confident Obama will carry both New Hampshire and Pennsylvania.
What makes you so confident that Obama will carry NH?
