Guess Who Won New Hampshire in 2000
Jan 28th 2008ScottAmerican History & Politics & conservatism & elections & worthwhile reads
Granted, conditions in 2000 were quite different than they are now, but the thought came across my mind. People seem to invest so much in the New Hampshire Primary that it is almost sickening. So, after a little searching I came across the results from their primary eight years ago.
There is one common factor in 2000 and 2008: Sen. John McCain (though in 2008, if RNC rules stand at convention, his NH delegate support dropped).
Another interesting bit: the Arizona Senator seems to support disenfranchisement. He has yet to pledge that he would seat all the delegates from penalized states (WY, NH, MI, SC, FL), and in two of those states, he is the victor! Even certain Democrat contenders have more smarts than the Media Darling. It must be nice not being the delegate front-runner–one less promise to make.
