Top results from our first Straw Poll of the 2012 cycle.
NH Gov 148 Votes (poll excluded John Lynch) * Mark Connolly - 46 votes (31.08%)
* Jackie Cilley - 33 votes (22.3%)
* Maggie Hassan - 26 votes (17.57%)
* Undecided - 16 votes (10.81%)
* Other - 9 votes (6.08%)
Ed Note: Who is Mark Connolly? (Rhetorical) Strong showing for someone little name rec, at least outside of politico circles and in the eastern part of the state. Congress NH-01 109 Votes * Carol Shea-Porter - 82 votes (75.23%)
* Mark Connolly - 12 votes (11.01%)
* Other - 7 votes (6.42%)
* Joanne Dowdell - 5 votes (4.59%)
Ed Note: As one would expect, strong support for CSP from the denizens of BH. Is it strong enough to to keep others out of a primary?
Congress NH-02 96 Votes * Ann Kuster - 78 votes (81.25%)
* Katrina Swett - 5 votes (5.21%)
* Jay Buckey - 4 votes (4.17%)
* Other - 4 votes (4.17%)
Ed Note: Even stronger BH support for AMK. I suspect we will not see a primary here, but agree that candidate Kuster was well served by the primary in 2010.
We encourage all the folks mentioned above (particularly in the Gov. Category) to create accounts on Blue Hampshire to join the conversation.
