Every once in a blue moon, Skip likes to remind us that NH Democrats, and especially Gov John Lynch, are all firmly against a NH state income tax. Yes, this is most definately, wonderfully reassuring!
As a matter of fact, the state Dem chant is "we hate the income tax, we hate the income tax, we hate the income tax" and then with a clear conscience they all can fall fast asleep for a good night's rest.
Question: So, what was the overall vote count for Dems vs Repubs in the primary?
Answer: Dems 287,580 vs. Repubs 238,909
Even I voted for a local Republican....yikes....what-was-I-thinking?.....honest!
A 48,671 vote differance! Here in NH, populaton 1.32 mil, 48,671 more voters chose to vote for a Democrat candidate than a Republican candidate in the presidential primary.
It would be interesting to make a comparision with previous primary numbers from the past 30 years.
Isn't that interesting........hmmm. So, what the heck does this mean? Ok, all you spinners, it's time to spin on this one.....spin....spin....spin?!
Could the CNN senior political analyst please post a response here so I will know what to think? ...thanks in advance!
Here's my instant, on-the-spot analysis, until CNN shows up. It sounds to me, that for some unknown reason, that out of a total of 526,489 voters, there were 48,671 more voters who chose to vote on the Democrat ticket than on the Republican ticket in the primary. New Hampshire is a state where you can be Republican, Democrat or Independant, and you can switch parties very easily, basically anytime, and in about ten seconds.
So, 48,671 more went with the D team, and more is better, so...gee whiz...that's got to be good news for the D team..........correct? Correct!
But, what do I know, I'm just a tractor-trailer truck driver, and for now, an unemployed one, too.
