McCain wins big in New Hampshire

My friends, it happened again. Mitt Romney has failed to win a state he’d spent millions on and spent a year vying for. This time, it was his backyard state, New Hampshire, where he was leading in the polls until a week ago.

The state where Romney vacations and where he has been pestering voters for over a year rejected him by a wide margin tonight. And that’s not McCain supporter spin; its fact.

Going into the election today, all the pundits were saying the Republican primary would be close and indecisive. That happened, but not on the Republican side. The voters of New Hampshire gave their support to John McCain, with his straight talking, no-nonsense style, over the fluff and slickness of the silver tongued chameleon that is Mitt Romney.

For team McCain, it’s on to Michigan, South Carolina, Florida, Super Tuesday and the general election in November!

Congratulations are also due to Governor Mike Huckabee, who went from polling 6th in New Hampshire two weeks ago to third in an un-evangelical, moderate state. Huckabee and McCain are on the rise and are showing voters who the real choices are for the Republican Party are. This is despite the efforts of people like Hugh Hewitt and Rush Limbaugh, who choose to look at the issues of this race within a philosophical vacuum, despite the reality that America will not elect someone who is as “conservative” as George W. Bush.

John McCain is conservative where it counts and the people of this country are beginning to see this and, for America’s sake, lets hope the momentum from New Hampshire can build upon itself and propel him to multiple victories and the nomination.

Today is a good day for America. With the Democratic race once again a cloudy, uncertain one, and the clear frontrunners beginning to emerge in the Republican race, we might just get the right man yet!
