Republican and Conservative political analysis and commentary

Per Jonathan Martin:

Romney: 33
McCain: 18
Giuliani: 16
Paul: 8
Huckabee: 5
Thompson: 4

What stands out the most is the effect of Ron Paul's advertising, who has gone from being an asterisk a few months ago to a candidate gaining momentum. The poll also brings good news for Romney, however he is beginning to run the danger of setting high expectations. He has sat atop the polls in the Granite State for months now, and anything less than a 12 point win would be a poor return on his investment.

Additionally, the North-South dynamic we've written about before is most obvious here. The Southerners in the race are content to sit this one out, while the rest of the field is using New Hampshire to sort itself out.
