My, how NH has changed

In 1996, NH republican voters chose Pat Buchanan in the primary. What an independent bunch of of voters willing to look outside the establishment and return to more fiscally conservative government! So I thought surely Ron Paul would fare well here, especially after getting 10% in Iowa, where the voters tend to be much more conventional. Well, despite our best efforts


Ron Paul only got about 8 or 9% of the vote. Wow. What surprise! And one situation has come to light that gives me a sinking feeling - some people in Sutton, a town next to ours, noticed that it was reported that there were 0 votes for Ron Paul, even though they knew they had voted for him. Apparently the town made a mistake in reporting their numbers to the state. That one was easy to catch - but what if there are more "mistakes" like that? It's a depressing scenario.

Here's a new article I read today that describes a lot of the characteristics that I have noted about Dr. Paul, both in watching him in appearances and in conversing with him during lunch (scroll down for that)!
