Romney pulling in a reported 35% of the vote in NH is pretty weak

. . . considering that it's right next door to his home state. That's with a turnout slightly above last time's presidential election. I think McCain pulled in 37%.

This is after only winning Iowa by a disputed 8 votes. That's pretty weak.

Looks like President Obama is getting over 80% of the Democratic vote.

streaming doesn't work either. I miss the cable news programs. Really leaves a gap on election nights.

Then again, I've been spared from their ups and downs in coverage and opinions. I'll just have to click my way to knowledge and enlightenment.

His numbers are falling, showing discontent with the base.

. . . is that there will be a race to the right in SC, pushing these radical clowns even further away from views of the mainstream voters.
