What's up with New Hampshire?

Fire breathing Christo Fascists that have hijacked the GOP will doom them in NH and other tolerant states for the foreseeable future.

Ages ago, I remember Nate Silver claiming New Hampshire typically has swings twice as large as national swings in polling - thus a large base of voters who like both the candidates may result in exaggerating leads more than where they "should be" given the aggregate/average of the electorate.

This map shows where you people could be very soon if, say, a candidate Huckabee runs against a popular incumbent Obama - or, indeed, if the gradual social liberalization of my generation continues at its present pace, for the discernible future.

More likely that Republicans will begin doing what the Democrats did in the middle of the 1900's and slowly begin "liberalizing". Democrats could soon find themselves with a broadly expanded map and a coalition that includes many more "intolerant" types.

To think that New Hampshire was George H.W. Bush's second best state after Utah in 1988. This is what happens when you become a joke fundie party.

NH voted for Reagan and Bush Sr. by overwhelming, lopsided margins.  I don't think they really enjoy being a swing state.
