trails Romney by a mere seven points, 18% to Mitt's 25%.
Excuse me, but to paraphrase the late H.L. Mencken, I may need a stadium to guffaw in, if this thing shakes out the right way.
Don't forget, this time in 2007, the convention wisdom held that Romney had a lock on the Granite State and John McCain was being fitted for a star spangled straitjacket.
THe jaded xenophobes of New Hampshire have a history of voting for sociable freaks in the GOP Primary, John McCain short fuse and all and before him, Patrick Buchanan. Much is made of the state's stoic Yankee reserve, this is nonsense though, New Hampshire loves a gaffe-prone giddy gaudy clown as much as the rest of the country.
And right now, that clown seems to be Michele Bachmann, mighod I'm not sure she has said a single sensible thing in the past six months!
Mitt must be tearing his perfect hair out.
And if Bachmann really can bootstrap herself into the challenger's position in New Hampshire against Romney, it will be a jubilee!!
Just remember, 25% is a puny plurality, and Mitt has messed up a sure thing New Hampshire before...
