You mean Mitt Romney doesn't have Nevada tucked into his electoral back pocket yet?
Thats a switch, Nevada was easy Mormon-rich territory for Romney in 2008, now per Matt Visor's above article, Sharon Angle & her Tea Partei legionaries are supposedly waiting to eat the Former Viceroy's lunch.
Interesting...
Said article also notes that South Carolina and Iowa are also very iffy for Romney if not outright hostile territory on the GOP presidential primary map.
So if you add it all together, then New Hampshire becomes Mitt's firewall must win state next year.
On paper he ought to win it in a walk (currently he is polling well up there but he hardly has a lock on the Granite State). However let us not forget, Romney is one of two Massachusetts pols who lost the New Hampshire Presidential Primary (the other being the late Edward Maximus)...and this is Willard we are talking about, he has a zen-like affinity for turning triumph into catastrophe.
New Hampshire is a mercurial primary state in a volatile presidential election, a lot can happen to upend the conventional wisdom.
Shit, right now an ass-clown like Donald Trump could blitz the Granite State and pull off a Eugene McCarthy in the dead of night.
Granted I doubt very strongly Trump will get in, he loves attention, not full on press scrutiny, and his campaign finance filings will be epic reading to be sure.
No...It may not be Trump but it will be someone.
If I was running against Romney I'd challenge him in his strongest areas, his alleged job creation skills and his record as a super-manager. I'd forget about health care, likely Mitt is well armored in that area. Break him where he thinks he is strong, that much he won't suspect.
And whatever you do, don't let him cop to being the only grown up in the room.
