Romney falls to 33% in latest Suffolk University NH tracking poll (down 10-points in six days)

I hope/wish in the end he would get under 30%--that would be an embarrassment in one of his home states:

New Hampshire (CNN) -- With one day to go until the Granite State's first-in-the-nation primary, two new polls indicate Mitt Romney remains the clear front-runner, with Rep. Ron Paul of Texas in the second spot in both surveys.

According to a Suffolk University/7 News daily tracking poll released Monday morning, 33 percent of likely New Hampshire Republican primary voters say they are backing Romney for their party's nominee, with 20 percent supporting Paul, the long time congressman from Texas who's making his third run for the White House. Romney's lead in the tracking poll has shrunk over the past four days.

The survey indicates that former Utah Gov. and former ambassador to China Jon Huntsman is at 13 percent. Huntsman skipped the Iowa caucuses, which were held last Tuesday, and is spending virtually all of his time campaigning in New Hampshire, hoping that strong finish will propel him on to South Carolina.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who finished a disappointing fourth in Iowa, is at 11 percent, with former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania at 10 percent. Santorum finished a strong second in last week's caucuses, losing to Romney by just eight votes. Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who is skipping campaigning in New Hampshire to concentrate on South Carolina, is at one percent.

1. Not according to the Corporate Media. CNN has been licking Romney's ass all weekend.

...and most of these corporate outlets are still suggesting that Romney is a shoe in.

Here's what I say:

Mittens was at 41% after IA. He's now between 33%-35%. I suspect that he'll end up between 25%-30%.

Yes, he is successful if he beats his standard 25%. But, NH is one of Mitten's home states. He has spent more money in NH than any other candidate. And the Corporate Media expected him to win big. But if the reality is that he only hovers around 25%-35%, I wouldn't call that a big success. I would have cause for concern.

2. DNC and Obama Campaigns Ought To Start Stocking Material NOW

The Democratic National Committee and the Obama Presidential Re-Election Campaigns ought to start stocking opposition-research material on the likes of Gingrich and Santorum, just in case.

I realize that the corporate media is all a-flutter with love for Republican "moderate" Romney. But the Hard Right base of the GOP isn't, and unlike some of the surviving saner elements of the Republican Party, the Republican Party's hard-right base comes out to vote in primaries. I would not be surprised if the hard-liners successfully push Santorum or one of the other not-Romneys over the finish line ahead of Mitt-sie.

As incredible as it may seem to the corporate media's talking heads, Democratic Party consultants, and other self-important but unobservant people, the Republican Party's hard right might successfully force the Republican Party to nominate someone like Rick Santorum as their party's presidential nominee.

I hope that someone on the progressive good guys' side starts assembling material to use on the GOPster candidate and his matching Tea Party set.
