More stray Iowa thoughts.
Bill Richardson should have run for N.M. Senator.
I would guess the independents in NH are more excited about voting for Obama/against Clinton than for McCain/Romney.
How low is the Romney ceiling? How many Republicans just won't vote for him?
I don't care if he was "running" or not, Rudy Giuliani should have gotten more that 4%. (His NH supporters are unhappy, too.)

This is my feeling as well. McCain is pro-war. In fact, that's really his only message here: our "enemies" only understand force and I'm more than happy to bring it to them... and I won't go all half-assed either. Unfortunately, NH independents and moderate Repubs have largely gone cold on the war. I think Obama has the reins of the New Straight Talk Express in the minds of independents.
I wouldn't write off Romney in the NH primary though. His white collar, business savvy, we're-better-than-the-working-class vibe plays well the upper income class here.

I'm just not feeling a McCain fervor.
Even if he beats Romney it's hardly beating what's perceived as a hard candidate. (And I agree that Romney can do better in NH because religion isn't an issue and his business cred is solid.
