New Hampshire, the state I know and love, will be holding their primary on Jan. 8th. This is exceptionally early and means all candidates will be on overload even on their Christmas break. New Hampshire really is a do or die state for many candidates, if not all. The republican candidates polling highest in national polls, are not polling highest in New Hampshire. None of the “front runners” are even close…. These early dates may actually dethrone candidates in the likes of Rudy Giuliani. Poor Rudy Giuliani, looks like he will lose NH by a large margin, actually. Mitt Romney is polling first, though I do expect Ron Paul to come in at least second. Hillary Clinton’s campaign will only be boosted, she looks at a win in New Hampshire. I can tell you that the polls are correct in New Hampshire, at least on the democrat side.

Candidates campaign’s are beginning to spend like this is the end of the race, and for most it will be. Ron Paul has asked that his supporters donate well before the Dec 16 Tea party. This will mean good things for New Hampshire. But, a huge show of power would be… huge on Dec 16. Knowing Ron Paul supporters, my guess is that they will just donate four times instead of once… And then donate again on the 16th. Everybody thought Huckabee support would grow in a state like New Hampshire, which it did, then it died. Ron Paul is ahead of Huckabee even in the polls, which means he is really 3x ahead of where Huckabee is.
