Suffolk Poll: Romney Edging McCain In New Hampshire
The Suffolk University tracking poll, departing from most other polls except for Zogby, shows that Mitt Romney is ahead in New Hampshire after the Iowa caucus. The thinking is that Romney can dominate among core Republicans, while the pool of independent voters is shrinking as they go to vote for Barack Obama in the Dem contest.
Here are the numbers, as compared to yesterday's tracking poll:
Romney 30% (+0)
McCain 27% (+1)
Giuliani 10% (-1)
Paul 9% (+1)
Huckabee 7% (-4)
The survey was conducted entirely after the Iowa caucus.

I cant help but feel that Mitt is probably a decent guy, but hysterically bad candidate.
If the polls were accurate, we wouldn't need elections.

You know, part of me thinks we should all just STFU about supporting Mitt before the wingnuts catch on. But, then, I think about all the "which cup contains the iocane poison" theorizing that goes on here whenever some righty says something favorable about Hillary or Obama and I realize its all harmless.

Romney waiting for someone to stumble? Mitt is doing enough stumbling for the whole field.
