Wow Rev, should the other candidates even try here?

Martha,
I think you may be right.
It seems that other than Romney, the more trips they make to NH: Santorum, Pawlenty, Giuliani
The lower they poll.
I don't know how many poll are needed in NH to prove that Romney is as solid as a rock there.
zeke
It's certainly an uphill climb for the others. And supposedly Huntsman is going to play here. I don't think so.
-Martha
two things have to happen here for NH to be the benefit it needs to be-
1) Mitt has to increase his lead when guiliani and daniels are not listed in the poll, if that happens then it will be a solid win for Romney. That will mean that the others are not catching on at all. the niumber will be less come the actual primary but it will still be a win
2) have to find a way to leverage a big win in NH into a SC win
do that and Fl might just be the coronation
