I do think Pawlenty et al should cede NH and give Romney the Harkin 92 treatment.

[redcommander]

Wow. Republicans who don't like Romney seriously can't coalesce around another candidate?

He's the only grown-up in the race.

What about Huntsman?

[Small Business Owner of Any Repute]

Polls here are meaningless until after Iowa. (Yawn.)

What about Huntsman?

I actually like Jon Huntsman, unfortunately, I don't believe he has any chance of winning the nomination.

I wouldn't go that far.  McCain 2008's surge in the polls in NH began in late November, and was in full force in December, until he took the lead there at the end of the month.  However, I agree that June is way too early for NH polls to mean anything.

[Holmes]

Polls here are meaningless until after Iowa. (Yawn.)

Polls are always meaningless until a month or so before an election.

[Badger]

Polls here are meaningless until after Iowa. (Yawn.)

Polls are always meaningless until a month or so before an election.

I'll dicker over semantics here. Polls are not entirely helpful until the last month, but even this shows that whoever Romney's main challenger turns out to be has a long row to hoe to upset him in New Hampshire.

[NVGonzalez]

Unless Romney manages to win Iowa, New Hampshire will either be win or bust for Romney.
