Live Free or Die

The folks at Gang of Four asked me to predict the New Hampshire primary. Here it is:

I’m not exactly going out on a limb in predicting that Barack Obama, riding a ton of momentum, will take New Hampshire. With tremendously lowered expectations, though, a close second by Clinton would probably keep her viable for a while.

On the Republican side, it was most refreshing to see Mike Huckabee outed as a superficial lightweight in debates this weekend. His defensiveness and poor understanding of tax policy and foreign affairs should be enlightening to conservative voters. Neither Chuck Norris nor God’s Army will save him on Feb. 5th.

Senator John McCain is leading most polls in NH and I can’t see Mitt Romney sticking around much longer if he drops Iowa and New Hampshire. With that said, after McCain’s needless display of nastiness during the ABC debates and his disingenuous explanations on voting against tax cuts and supporting an unpalatable immigration bill, conservative voters may take a second look at Romney. For fun, I’m going to go with the former Governor of Massachusetts in a slim upset.
