First time reader of this blog stuff. Very disappointed. Back to talk radio where people LISTEN to each other.

What amazes me about many of these comments is the unwillingness to think that those NH folks with opinions different than theirs are legitimate points of view. I do not dispute that one can disagree, but to put people down because they think differently than you is another matter. This, sadly, is the reason that politics has become so polarized; because people are emotional (I hate/can't understand people who think this way) rather than rational. We as a country would do a lot better if we tried to stand back and (a) realize that everyone's view is a legitimately held one and (b) carry on the discourse on the issues rather than impugn people's brain power or integrity.

RE: Art from CA "What's wrong with hate? There's LOTS of things that are GOOD to hate, Republicans, being near the top of the list."

Much is "Wrong" with hate Art. In this instance its pitting us against one another. That's not to say, "you and I" at odds, our political leanings are probably similar as I think Bush is a really dangerous creep who's done stunning harm to our country. When we succumb to the hate people like Rush Limbaugh and his ilk feed to us we all lose, and creeps like him and Bill O'Reilly grow ever more popular and powerful. The average republican wants many of the same things we all do and they just believe (wrongly in my view) that the GOP has the best way to get them that. When you hate them you just give devisive rightwing mouthpieces a better chance at getting them more of the only thing that really matters to them, a bigger paycheck.

Defuse the hate and hyperbole get back to calm rational debate and let real truth and smarts assert themselves. If history teaches us anything it shows that love is the best motivating source on the planet, leave the hating to the Islamic nutcases that have thrived on it for so long.

10% are "enthusiastic"??? WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE???

RE Yikes:

The Dem leadership in NH makes no difference as to the individual NH republican's (those who were asked in this poll) blatantly dim view of the real world that we humble, low income, folk live in. Though I welcome the discussion, your point is not very valid my friend.

Thomas from Denver correctly predicted the cascade sycophants coming to the defense of administration with of poorly reasoned, ill-informed responses like:

"Millions of arabs owe him there [sic] freedom and lives"- Millions? MILLIONS? From the surge? I think not.

Or "the war was NOT illegal. It was voted on by congress" – The Iraq war was arguably a war of aggression, a violation of international law to which we are signatories and hence illegal in the US – congress's vote notwithstanding.

Or "WWII was illegal then, seeing how Germany did not attack us." – Sorry. Not possible since the international law that makes Iraq illegal didn't exist before the war.

The only thing that makes me sadder than the knowledge of such poor reasoning, is that there are apparently so many of my fellow Americans incapable of rising above them.

While I was living in the USA people were NOT afraid to speak out about important issues. The "either with us or against us" mentality exploited by sly GW since 9/11 has been used to blackmail and silence the citizens of this great country.
Pause and ask yourselves why Americans swallow the lies fed them by their government? Why has there been no popular movement to impeach Bush & Co. for their crimes and misdemeanors? Why do American mothers remain silent when the costs of financing 10 days of war in Irag could pay for 1 year of health insurance for ALL children under the age of 18? … The list is long.
Bush & Co. have ignored the international Geneva Convention under the guise of protecting you against terrorism. Don't succumb to their home-grown fear tactics and relinguish your individual freedoms quarenteed by the US Constitution.
Eight years ago Bush gained the presidency through fraud, but nevertheless four years later the majority of Americans re-elected him to a second term. In Europe people often say – Americans got what they deserved.
This election, THINK BEFORE you vote in November?

Yikes, where do you get your (mis)information?

I mean, calling Ron Paul "pretty frightening – racist/homophobic/conspiracy theorist/apocalyptic and borderline megalomaniacal."

Listen to a couple of his speeches on UTube before you repeat this garbage. Garbage is what it is — the Neocon smear of Paul. I can understand why some people might think Paul is wrong on the issues (I agree with Paul, personally). I can also see why some people might argue that voting for Paul is letting the best be the enemy of the good. But the argument that Paul himself (you're not talking about his supporters, but the man himself) is this frightening megalomaniac is absolutely nuts. Call him boring and pedantic if you must, call him misguided, call him quixotic, or call him a fool. But he is no megalomaniac hater. If you'd spend a half hour listening to him speak you'd see that for yourself.

The dunderheaded "Germany did not attack us" argument rears its ugly head yet again. Was that on a talk radio show today or something? Immediately after Pearl Harbor, Germany declared war on US; we declared war on them in RETURN. They had also been attacking our Atlantic shipping for months. Get it?

Charles,

Yes, I am aware of the historical significance of the Tripartite Pact, and why Germany declared war on us first. Terrorists were attacking us for years!! Throwing out terms like "illegal" war has no more relevance now than it did then. That is my point. Senseless war will be judged by history, as will all the other comments I responded to in my original post. So, you see, I do get it.

I am an Australian veteran and a staunch supporter of the American alliance. I was permanently disabled going to the aid of my American comrades under fire and I would do it all over again if necessary.

In 1997 I told our countries what they would be doing in Afghanistan and Iraq and it all happened just as I said it would. They went in with no long term plans and they did exactly what they did in Vietnam just as I said they would.

We both have more enemies now than we have ever had.

The next President will face WWIII as it continues to escalate. It started in 2001.

The Taliban had opium production down to 400 tonnes (from 4400 tonnes) which was enough for medical production in Europe. Production is now up to 8400 tonnes more or less equally split between the US and British sectors. Who allowed that and why do you think?

GW Bush is regarded as a very dangerous man outside of the US and by many inside. We were all lied to about WMD and the rest. The Bush family has the mosty massive conflict of interest I have ever seen in government but so do many of them in that administration.

The Democrats had some 224,000 votes in Iowa and the Republicans even though they set a record still only had under 120,000. The Republicans content with Bush have their heads in a paper bag. Ron Paul seems the only truly genuine and long term politician they have. Remember Sinclair Lewis did say in 1935 (It Cant be here) when Fascism comes to the US it will be wrapped in a flag carrying a cross. It is there now and in control.

Religious idiocy determined this administration and is being used by the neocon fascists in the US and you are all being "dumbed down."

Do not be swayed by rhetoric. Protect your freedom and your constitution and Habeas Corpus. Get rid of the Patriot Act and balance your budget. We need each other in sane thinking under God to survive.

I am following the primary from here in New Zealand…Hi ….. but wished to say how amazed I was to see such a high approval rating for the Bush government.
We view him as genuinely evil over here and his team as self serving rapists of your fine land. Our media freedom may have a lot to do with that, I couldn't imagine a more disasterous period for the U.S. than what the Bush Govt. has dragged you through and yet their is still a level of popularity that beggars belief.
Good luck is all I can say and here's hoping that you don't drag the rest of the world down the toilet with you.

I find your practice of refusing to put Ron Pauls name on the pie chart to be very childish & dishonest. You put Richardsons name on the Demacrats chart with only 4 % but you just couldnt be honest about Ron Pauls numbers which were constantly less than 100 votes less than Giuliani. Put his name on the chart

Joel in Corona wrote: "Conservatives are, in fact, as open minded as most liberals. Liberals hate as much as anyone else."

What's wrong with hate? There's LOTS of things that are GOOD to hate, Republicans, being near the top of the list.

President Bush is doing a great job! Too many Republicans won't stand up for what they believe in, and too many uninformed Americans listen to the bad news liberal media!
Surge is working, US is safe, taxes are down. Works for me.

Rich, I can't imagine where you read your survey, but one of the hallmarks of the Bush administration has been that they and their supporters are not part of the reality based community. They set the facts about the policy rather than shape the policy based upon the facts. That certainly is not very pragmatic. It also stands that the generally held opinion is that most people considered to be intellectuals are more apt to be liberal rather than conservative. I am a college graduate and attended graduate school and most of the tenets which are held by the neoconservatives are, quite honestly, in my opinion, laughable. One of the most important things I learned from my schooling was to seek out the facts without a predisposed propensity for facts which fit my opinions, and then after wieghing the facts, form my opinion. "There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which can not fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance-that principle is contempt prior to investigation."
–HERBERT SPENCER

You make a very good point about Ron Paul. However, don't you think the days of "experience" in the White House are over. I mean, look what Bush did with his "experience". We need someone young who hasn't been exposed to all the political crap. That is… Barrack Obama. He will really change things up in Washington.
…………………………………..CR………………………………

Are you saying experience will inhibit him from doing what he thinks is correct? Has it ever? Is this how people reward consistency?,
Would you pass-over an experienced lawyer to handle your life-and-death court case because he's spent 20 yrs in our crazy judicial system………and take a chance on an unknown….I doubt it?
If you feel the political stage is grungy, wouldn't experience and consistency make all the difference….perhaps ultimatly be the deciding factors?
By the way……………..hasn't our country turned out like the rest of Gearge W's previous business ventures……….bankrupt and only clinging to life due to the contributions from selfish benefactors like the saudi's……..

I can't believe so many of you are getting so uptight about an exit poll. Statistically speaking, voluntary polls have about as much significance/truth as examining entrails to predict the future. Liberal/Conservative shouldn't matter. Vote your conscience, regardless of what it tells you. That is what our system is about. Of course, if we would have listened to another George (Washington, that is) we wouldn't have parties.

You can count me in with the 10%

Not angry? it's not the fact that he invaded Iraq, it's the fact that he botched it. Yeah sure, you took over the country, but they never considered how to manage it after they took it over. Than to make matters worth, they started to dismantle it's structure for no apparent reason – thus THEY created the insurgency.

One voter in New Hampshire said she was trying to decide between Huckabee and Edwards. Huh? This shows you the depth of understanding people have who are going to influence this important election. Anyone who doesn't understand the difference between a Repulican candidate and Democratic candidate has got to be tested for brain damage.

I feel that the GOP is done for a long time because of George Bush. I've been a life time Republican and have never regreted my vote until now. Bush has done more damage to the party then even Richard Nixon back in the early 70's. With all that said I still can't support any of the Dem's because they can't see how the illegal immigration problem is killing America. I wish that Americans would really take a look at Duncan Hunter because he seems to understand just how bad the illegal aliens are bankrupting our communities and country. It not about race, it's all about being a nation of laws, not to mention our security.

Ted,

The dunderheaded "Germany did not attack us" argument rears its ugly head yet again. Was that on a talk radio show today or something? Immediately after Pearl Harbor, Germany declared war on US; we declared war on them in RETURN. They had also been attacking our Atlantic shipping for months. Get it?

Bush impeachment '08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Angry? You bet I'm angry. I've been angry since the first filmings of the "Shock…and Awe War." Bush seemed to be not the president of the U.S. but a film caricature. Does he understand that this is not a movie angling for the Oscar's but true-to-life-blood of Iraqi innocents along with American innocents? One day, President Bush, and all other presidents who act on unverified information, our young people will not commit themselves into the hands of a president to be killed for his, his father's and their cronies own gain.

I just have to add, being a woman who has seen and known many 'jerks' like The Bush, the short-lived power of the Shock and Awe War might have turned you on, but I would image P. Bush as your popularity shows, the lasting effect is impotence.

Judy Haney

I once read a survey that stated the vast majority of people with a college education and beyond tend to vote Republican and the rest prefer Democrats. In other words, the more educated you are, the more you tend to vote Republican. Reading some of these comments seems to confirm those survey results.

Wow! No wonder people of NH are naive enough to elect Obama! 50% of them actually approve of Bush! Wow.

Mr Ed- It's the incredibly liberal like yourself that has ruined this country, so maybe you should stick your head somewhere for awhile. What part of my post is wrong, and base it on facts rather than rhetoric.

Mark,
What all of the news sites are saying is based on surveys that THEY'VE taken, the polls in NH haven't closed yet, it's all preliminary.

What a disgrace for the US to have kept Bush in the White House …. instead of the White Jail!!!

Every other site is showing different numbers from the NH Primary than what fox and cnn have on their front page. Cnn is showing Ron Paul in 5th place when in actuality he is in 3rd place. Does fox and cnn also manipulate the facts?

The reason why America is upset at its officials is because they skirt the law and deceive the public and… yes, misrepresent the people.

New Hampshire: The "Live free to detain people indefinitely or die fighting 100-year long wars in the Middle East" state.

What I can't understand is why the American public is so upset about their elected officials and the policies they have adopted. It seems to me that when the electorate is swayed by the sound bite, populist rhetoric and other superficial nonsense they should not then be upset when they are duped by the body politic. Look at the current crop of candidates, it appears that Dr Feel Good's save the world speeches and a teary eyed confessions of a privileged middle aged Democrat are the stuff of substance for the electorate. Why is this so, it’s basically because the voting public does not want to sit and listen to the real, often long and complicated answer, which invariably involves hard choices. Choices, that in order to be made demand a real and deep understanding of the underlying issues to make informed decisions. In fact I think most would say, "Well that's why I elected her or him to represent me." Yet scant few will actually take the time to under both the issue and the candidate’s positions relative to the issue. Furthermore, the press won't actually take the time to flesh out the real issue with all the relevant facts; details and complications associated with a given issue and confront the candidate’s with the facts. For two reasons, one it invariable will look like a liberal attack on the establishment, justified or not. Second, and more important it will involve more then a sentence or two develop a coherent and insight for question and answer, which the public lacks the attention span required to comprehend the answer. No, the body electorate is like an impatient child suffering from attention deficit disorder and can’t understand why things didn’t go their way. So I say flip a coin and vote anyways keep the candidates guessing and who knows maybe we’ll get lucky.

Post by Francisco : January 8, 2008 6:56 pm ET

I´m European (Portuguese) and I think Bush will have a good place in history.
The next President it´s going to be worst, democratic or republican.

+++++++++++++++++++

Francisco, I think you are absolutely correct. While no one can be certain, I believe history will look favorably on Bush, depending, of course, on the ultimate outcome in Iraq. Not to say he hasn't made mistakes…he has. He is also one of the worst communicators…leading some to believe he isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer. Say what you will, Bush bashers, he endured a torrent of hate and name calling for the past 7 years, but refused to stoop to your level. That's class…I wouldn't expect his haters to recognize it.

No doubt: Obama / Mcain in November.
It was not preferable to have Bush?
No doubt.

Jeff,
You make a very good point about Ron Paul. However, don't you think the days of "experience" in the White House are over. I mean, look what Bush did with his "experience". We need someone young who hasn't been exposed to all the political crap. That is… Barrack Obama. He will really change things up in Washington.

Get out of your bubble Phil and Darth, you sound like that reporter in the 80's who was amazed when Reagan got elected and was quoted saying "I didn't know anyone who voted for him."

One thing all of us Americans have to embrace is democracy! Can you imagine with this president no term-limits? America would be in the hands of the rest of the world in four more years.

America's empire has stood by it's economic power and with economic power comes military power.

Our dollar is losing value, we are going into a major recession, unemployment is rising, the housing market is a bust, we are in a three trillion dollar deficit, our education system is broken, our healthcare system is broken, global warming, social security is close to extinction, unless we borrower more money to pay the retired back and we continue to fight a war that should have never been fought!

Our foreign policy is only as good as our domestic stabiltiy. Embrace democracy! Our country needs salvation and it ain't going to come from a Republican president. Their agenda is not with the American people.

For those conservatives who still support Bush, what would Jesus really think?

Dr Nicols:

What are you talking about? NH has a Dem Gov and Dem congress!

Well, the votes might not get counted accurately but at least voters are showing up to voice their displeasure with the current state of affairs.

I'm not thrilled with any of the Democratic candidates, but I'll vote for the final nominee over any Republican. I have to say that the extreme excitement over Obama mystifies me. Shirley, rural Georgia

As a conservative (in some ways) New Hampshire republican, the Bush administration has been an enormous failure on almost every level. I do admire that he had the courage to take a path that almost everyone was screaming was the wrong path, but as it turns out there were reasons everyone was screaming.

The biggest error of the administration wasn't Iraq (though that was pretty serious), it was the total loss of control of spending and the ballooning of beauracracy in Washington, making Clinton look like Ron Paul in his spending. And while I sympathize with portions of Ron Paul's agenda, the man himself is pretty frightening – racist/homophobic/conspiracy theorist/apocalyptic and borderline megalomaniacal.

You all should keep in mind that NH voters are pretty politically savvy, and very likely the results are skewed at least somewhat by responders limiting the political damage of a poll totally skewering W.

God Bless America.

Just consider the source, these are people who still support the GOP even after the nightmares of Gingrich's Contract (On) With America and the Bush presidency.

Why would anyone vote for a candidate with less than 8 years of political experience?……hell, it takes at least 2-3 years in office to just learn the ropes and start to make alliances with your fellow legislators.
How much experience does hillary, obama, edwards, thompson, huckabee and romney have?…….Add it up, and i think you'll find the total to be in the general area of Ron Paul's years in Congress.
Do any of the above politicians have his steadfast, consistent record in there short terms as a professional politician?
Will any of the above risk their parties backing and their fellow legislators ire because its the right thing to do? You know he will!
DO NOT LET THIS ELECTION BE WON OVER BY SLICK "LIP SERVICE" and "CATCHY PHRASES"
Want changes…..get up some nerve and vote for the straight shooter……………………..RON PAUL

OK. 10% of Republicans need a frontal lobotomy. 40% already had one. 33% show a glimmer of human intellect and 16% are viable homo sapiens. Anyone who isn't disgusted with the lying, pseudo-Christian war criminals of the Bush administration and ready to throw the bums out is a certifiable fool and no friend of this country.

if 10% was enthusiastic, I think the poll was taken inside the White House.

Bush was/is better than the first Clinton and the 2nd Clinton will not even have a chance to sit in the Oval office, so it doesn't matter. If you want change vote for Ron Paul.

Ted Riverhead-It's the incredibly ignorant like yourself that has set back this nation for decades. Your post displays such a lack of knowledge about current events that you should be given an accolade for the depth that you've apparently thrust your head up your excremental aperture. People like you have no business voting or impacting the lives of other people in any way.

I´m European (Portuguese) and I think Bush will have a good place in history.
The next President it´s going to be worst, democratic or republican.

Any Republican who still supports this administration is an idiot.

You want real change? Vote Ron Paul. Look at his Congressional voting record over the last 20 years. Read his book. Read the Constitution.

David–I have to disagree, and the argument that genocide would have occurred in Iraq if the US had not invaded is absolutely wrong. Saddam Hussein had been contained militarily by the time we went in in 2003, and did not have the capacity to threaten much of anyone. This much we know now, though some knew it then and were ignored. And those history books you are imagining are already being written–many of them are arriving at the same conclusion: President Bush invaded Iraq with too few troops and no plan for what to do once Baghdad fell. As a result, Iraq and the region are heading down a dangerous road. Bush's legacy will be one of arrogance, incompetence, and lives needlessly lost.

How the Republican primary voters in New Hampshire can't see this is beyond me. But then, they couldn't see Bush's lack of wisdom when they elected him in the first place, so I don't suppose I should have such high expectations now.

Thanks Ted, from Riverhead, NY… & Wayne & the rest of you hate-filled neo-nazi communists.
Conservatives are, in fact, as open minded as most liberals. Liberals hate as much as anyone else.

The other response left off the questionaire:
Honest 16%.
And David, at 6:24 PM, your assertion that there would have been Genocide had Bush not had the courage to go into Iraq is either the most uninformed statement I have every heard or it is simply an example of the flawed reasoning demonstrated by those few people who cannot objectively view the disaster that has been the George Bush Presidency. Oh, wait… I suppose it could be both.

I am not shocked by what the NH primary voters are telling the pollsters. I AM shocked that we are even in NH (or Iowa) – what the hell are we doing there? There are more people on 38th Street at 11 O'Clock in the morning than there are in the entire state of NH or Iowa…these two caucus/primaries are ridiculous in 2008. One national primary day – no one out-influences anyone else.

Do you realize that the evangelical vote in Iowa skewed the vote? And so did the 'young' and 'newcomers'…this has to stop….

I have to respond to David.

I am a liberal Democrat who never had any use for George Walker Bush.

That said, after 9-11, unlike many of my fellow liberals, I wholeheartedly supported his actions in Afghanistan.

I believed then, and believe now, given what we knew about the Taliban and its enabling of al Qaeda, that no sitting American president would or should have done anything else.

To this day, I do not understand why the neo-con Bushies dropped the ball in Afghanistan to pursue their march of folly in Iraq.

To just what "genocide" in Iraq is David referring?

Saddam Hussein was a vile dictator, no one disputes that.

But so is Hosni Mubarak of Egypt, Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan, and countless other despots the Bushies support and enable around the world.

In terms of the "genocide" David refers to, he's no doubt talking about Saddam's heinous actions against the Kurds.

but david might also want to remember the helicopters and other aircraft used to deliver the poison gas against the Kurds were provided to him by Ronald Reagan and GHW Bush.

Is there and equivalent poll for our beloved Congress?
The angry meter should be higher than Bushes as our congressional folks have managed to screw things as well.

she bullies when she's up in the polls, then she cries like a baby when she's down, or throws a temper tantrum like a two-year -old. Sorry, Hill, but not every democrat likes you, not every woman likes you. She claims to have 35 years in government service…there are housekeepers that have scrubbed toilets in Washington for longer, and I am sure that there are "escorts" who can claim 35 years in government service . All she has done is ride on Bronco Billy's coattails, then claiming his ideas as hers…wonder whose idea it was to give Vince Foster a "going away present". Would like a scandal -free White House for a change, and am tired of the bush-clinton-bush-clinton years …hard to believe that the last president we had whose last name wasn't Bush or Clinton was Reagan…almost 20 years of the same faces…maybe that's why even Ron Paul is looking better to voters than Hillary. Someone, anyone is better than a Clinton or

So, I have these questions for you.

What will it take to make you angry? People like you

I mean, besides things like abortion and gay marriage. These are major issues???

We already know that anyone having other values than yours makes you seethe with rage. No it doesn't

But really, how many more of our men and women in uniform have to die or come home without limbs? War sucks, and this is a reality. Bet they said that in 1776, and how did that one turn out again??

How many more children have to grow up without fathers or mothers because they died in a senseless and illegal war? Ask an adult who had one die in WWII. Oh, and let's see.. WWII was illegal then, seeing how Germany did not attack us.

How low does the dollar have to fall in value? It will bounce back, just like housing.

How much deeper in debt do we have to get? That's what they said in the 80's, but things turned around pretty well BEFORE Clinton even took office.

How far do the stock markets have to fall? Fall???? They set new highs since 2000, and output has increased in record proportions.

How much are you willing to pay for a gallon of gas? If we explored domestic options, we would pay less. Oops, liberals won't let us.

There are a thousand other questions I could ask..but you get my drift. You are wasting your time

Who cares. Bush is DUNZO. You want another Bush, vote Obama, want change and a future, vote Edwards.

you are misjudging Bush..Look at all the disasters that have occured during his terms…The war is NOT illegal. It was voted on by congress, and Bush is getting a raw deal. since the Democrats took over, they have done everything in their power to discredit him…He will be remembered as a very good president, who kept us from many drastic Jehadist attacks.

[We already know that anyone having other values than yours makes you seethe with rage.]

The people were asked to share their views of Bush's presidency. They answered what they thought. Who is seething with rage or desiring to see more soldiers with missing limbs? This is a gross characterization of people just because they hold values different than yourself. It is this kind of nasty debate that is pushing Obama ahead in the polls.

I cannot believe that high satisfaction % – they must all be dingbats or insanely wealthy and thus benefitted from Bush being in the White House. And I say that as a very angry Republican.

All 16% – Ron Pauls

I see that 40% of the Republican primary voters are satisfied with Bush in New Hampshire. N. Hamp. and Iowa are the main states involved in deciding who becomes the president because we all know the news media goes along with them. I would hope that someone would give this some thought and decide why this foolishness is thrown upon the American people. To me it is like having the residents of Mayberry and Green Acres voting.

If the Democrats had their way there would be genocide in Iraq, George Bush had the patience and the courage to proceed with the surge against the tide of public opinion and millions of arabs owe him there freedom and lives .Like Truman history will judge him kinder than his contemporaries

What's far scarier is the incredible adoration and adulation of Obama. The guy's running for President not Savior of the free world. The way some people worship him you would think he's either Elvis or Jesus.

OK, if this is really the way New Hampshirites feel about Bush, none of the results from today mean anything! Talk about living in another universe!

Exactly. Look how long it took us to recover from Jimmy Carter's Presidency!

It is frightening, isn't it?

Fifty percent of republicans in New Hampshire actually want MORE of the disastrous policies of the last four years?

So, I have these questions for you.

What will it take to make you angry?

I mean, besides things like abortion and gay marriage.

We already know that anyone having other values than yours makes you seethe with rage.

But really, how many more of our men and women in uniform have to die or come home without limbs?

How many more children have to grow up without fathers or mothers because they died in a senseless and illegal war?

How low does the dollar have to fall in value?

How much deeper in debt do we have to get?

How far do the stock markets have to fall?

How much are you willing to pay for a gallon of gas?

There are a thousand other questions I could ask..but you get my drift.

And I don't really expect any legitimate, sensible responses, because anyone who is "satisfied" or "enthusiastic" with what Bush has done is incapable of such.

We are spiraling into an abyss that George Bush sent us into and these people want to continue on that journey.

If America is going to be saved, we must vote for radical change…not just for president but at every level.

It's time to stop letting the political parties rule our country because they care more about winning for their party than doing what is right for our country.

Vote for change…vote for moderate candidates…who care more about fixing the economy, the health care system, our global reputation..than about controlling other people's lives and choices.

Pity the poor Republicans in NH.

Their denial, especially among those wealthy Republicans along the seacoast where I grew up, of just what a disaster the Bush/Cheney regime has been would be comical if its implications were not so disturbing.

Whatever happens tonite, the reality is the United States will struggle for years to dig itself out from under the economic damage at home, and diplomatic damage abroad, this most incompetent and corrupt of administrations has inflicted upon us.

You left off a category:

"Prays daily for impeachment proceedings to finally begin"

Some people gauge success in this day and age by whether or not we have another 9/11.

I expect more from a candidate, and the polling numbers from the dems will show that.

I'm not surprised……The Bush Administration has been an embarrisment to this country internationally and here in our own country for the past 7 years.

As the entry says, this is among people voting in the Republican primary – which is to say those NH voters believing that their influence would best be spent affecting the Republican nomination. From this, I would suspect that the majority of the independent voters chose to vote in the Democratic primary. All in all, when combined with the higher than expected voter turnout, this leads me to believe that it will probably be a very good night for Obama.

It's even scarier that 50% of repubicans want a more conservative administration.

I can't believe that only 16% of people are angry. People should be outraged at what has happened the last 7 years.

No, 50% of polled New Hampshire Primary voters hardly equals the GOP in total. The national satisfaction on both sides of the aisle has remained far, far lower for years.

….50% of the NH Republican Primary voters. It isn't a statisically valid sample.

There are 50% of republicans that actualy support what our chimp in charge of the country.

WOW, talk about delusions.

50% of GOP are satisfied with the Bush administration? That is scary.
