From the more rural parts of northern New Hampshire to the coastal area, the weather for Tuesday’s primary is looking promising –which could tempt more people to go to the polls. rtx5b7b.jpg
 
Republican former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and Democratic New York Sen. Hillary Clinton have both lost their leads in opinion polls for the state and they are trying to claw their way back against Republican Arizona Sen. John McCain and Democratic Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, respectively. 
 
A warming trend has spread from the Midwest to New England with temperatures hitting the upper 40s and only a chance of a scattered shower. That’s about 10 degrees warmer than average this time of year, according to Weather.com.
 
Here’s the forecast for Manchester, Portsmouth and Plymouth

I am very concerned about the “wave” of voters that are following Obama, please keep in mind that we are electing a President not a cult leader. I have seen many Presidents go through the election process in my 60 years, those that
have had more experience than Obama and those that have served in our armed service. I do not think his current experience qualifies him for this job no more than a mayor would be qualified.
I understand the urgency to remove Bush but we need to not just hastily elect to get someone new, as they say, “be careful what you ask for you may not like it”. I have overdosed on the debates and the ralleys this past weekend purely because I want to be informed. I hope others start to do the same.
Thanks for reading

It is indeed a spectacular day here in New Hampshire! After a brutal cold snap a few days ago, “change” is in the air… it’ll be pushing 60 today… One might say that “things are heating up” here in NH! ;-) Seriously though, for expert forecasting of the political kind, check out this unique research, which used social media measurement data to predict Obama’s surge before it happened. http://kdpaine.blogs.com
