Here's today's key story out of the New Hampshire local press: The Union Leader reports that New Hampshirites have been getting push-poll calls — that is, calls disguised as polls but are actually meant to communicate negative message about a particular candidate — targeted against Mitt Romney.

The calls, which among other things attack Romney's Latter-Day Saints religion, have reportedly been traced back to Utah-based firm Western Wats, which has done push-polling in past general elections against Democrats as well as primary campaigns against Republicans. The calls do not specify which candidate is being supported by them, as is required under New Hampshire law.
