Since there are more Independents than Democrats in NH....?
and they have given us winners like McCain, Buchanan, and the funny talking little guy that was a Democrat, how does anyone predict who they would vote for tomorrow? Why did they like McCain? Why did they like Buchanan? They are unpredictable.

Maybe they will come out in force for the General, because he is not a career politician, which they seem to like that fact? Or maybe they'll come out for Edwards, because he is the most comfortable person left after all the favorites? Or maybe they will surprise and go for Joe Lieberman or Dennis Kucinich?

It is difficult to predict where the mindset of the voters of NH might be at this time? Maybe most of them are anti-war? The Independent vote may once again determine who will be the surprise winner out of NH....

1. I saw an interview earlier with a half dozen NH voters
They're all over the place. I don't trust any of the polls for anything more than a minor indication of how things could go.

2. The polls
showed Bush in the lead over McCain before McCain won, right?..by how much?

What about in the other situations? Has the supposed 'front runner' and person in the top of the polls been overthrown before in NH?

4. I think Tsongas was ahead in 1992
but Clinton's second-place showing was a surprise.

6. They will not put Kerry in first place because
they like to show their independence and don't like the media to tell them what to do or who they should vote for...so they will give Clark the thumbs up and show the talking heads they are full of it.
