Newsmax John LeBoutillier on New Hampshire

January 10th, 2008 • Richard Cochrane

Kiss kissNewsmax’s John LeBoutillier gives this gritty post
New Hampshire assessment paraphrased as follows: McCain’s support is among the so-called mainstream media, independent voters, and a thin slice of Democrats. Romney is an empty suit – when you look deep into his eyes all you see is the back of his head. Huckabee is a damn good candidate but he doesn’t have broad enough support. Ron Paul isn’t getting anywhere. Fred Thompson is a political dead man. Hizzoner Rudy is fading fast. Maybe the Republican candidate hasn’t even started yet.

So far Democrat voters have been concentrated on the far left. The notion that a community organizer from Chicago who has done nothing substantive in his life can be president is laughable. Or that a little weepy talk/crying jag can become an asset is also a window into the feminization of the Democratic Party. Edwards will stay in as he has no other option except learning to chew plug tobacco at the fish camp near his house. The odds are still with Hillary.

LeBoutillier’s conclusion: In both races, we could be in for a long, protracted run. And it is entirely possible that the next president is not yet in the race, he says. Neither Iowa or
New Hampshire votes have done anything to clarify matters – it is still clear as mud.
