Ditto the NH Republican party. Its got more Rhino's than an African Safari. And yet it still beats the Livertarian / Ronulans and Progressive Socialists.
A big problem is that the RNC doesn't support this state much, whereas the DNC and DNCC pour tons of money into Buckey's coffers. It pisses me off that we're still suffering from the reign of Fergus the Mouthbreather, and that the likes of Cilley and Norelli actually have a decent shot at the governorship. But one thing that does give me hope is the fact that Carol Che-Pelosi is still regarded as a viable candidate in 1CD. If she's the best the Dems can put out there along with Annie the Abortionist, well, we might have a shot.
But the Tea Party bit has worn thin with them not staying true to limited government principles, as has the Ronulan crap. Seriously, give up on the whole Free State Project, libertarians. You've been bragging how you're going to get 20K people here for over a decade now, and you've managed to get what, a few hundred to "promise" to show up? And most of ya'll are the LIBERALtarian types, who care more about smoking pot in downtown Keene than actual limited government/conservative principles.
But yeah, I'll take the disgrace that is Bettencourt over the embarassment that is Princess Summerfall Winterspring any day.
