New Hampshire Conservative cities & towns?

[seamusnh]

Concord and Portsmouth are more liberal. Just look at the voting in 2008 compared to Manchester and Nashua. If you look at the 2004 election, Kerry took the counties up north, in the west, and on the seacoast. the center of the state and the south central voted more Republican. Most of those that have moved here from MA are conservatives that got fed up with the corrupt liberal politics of that one party state. In my area, Amherst, Bedford, Hollis and Merrimack are more conservative than liberal.

Right. Benson was governor for two years and he is the source of all the problems in the state. Jeanne Shaheen (D) was governor for 6 years before Benson and Lynch (D) has been governor since January 2005. 11 of the past 13 years we have had a Democrat as governor and somehow the state's problems are due to a guy that was governor for 2 years.

BTW, I respect Benson for starting Cabletron and growing it to a significant business and employer than John Lynch who inherited his family business.

I do not agree that is still true for Hollis. When we returned here in 07 it was about 50/50 but I am fairly certain the Dem(progressives, to be specific) population has grown.

Our schools are aggressively indoctrinating and numerous grads, even from traditional families have been brainwashed. That could have something to do with it.

Also, Hollis Dems hold anonymous fundraising events - even in public town venues - 'neighborhood yard sale!' instead of 'Hollis Democrats yard sale!'.

Most conservative area's are in the South And Eastern parts of the state. Since they are more traditional conservatives, they are more Libertarian. I think Belknap County is perhaps the most conservative in the state.
