New Hampshire...The '08 Decider.


After the Stirring results of the Iwoa primaries, putting Huckabee and Obama as winners for the Republicans and Democrats respectively, and the memories of Saturday Night's Debates still fresh in our head, more attention has been put on New Hampshire, both by the candidates and the media. The New York Times reported today that the candidates themselves, as well as private backers, are pouring their money into political advertising in the "Granite State".
Some of the major players in this spending spree are Hillary Clinton's most supportive supporters; The American Federation of teachers, spending over $140,00 in ads directed at women voters, and the Emily's List Political Action committee, spending over $100,000 on a pro-Hillary campaign. The republicans are dealing with this issue as well. Mitt the *"stormin' Mormon" Romney has been the brunt of a negative campaign in NH for some time now. This Race is Getting as bad as the election of 1968, when the country was fraught over who would end Viet Nam, and today, the political climate is quite similar.
