Straw Poll Results

by: Mike Hoefer

Fri Apr 22, 2011 at 09:57:17 AM EDT
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.

We will conduct our second poll June 15th.

Mark Connelly (0.00 / 0)
a stand in for Lynch for those who still want the pledge?  Sorry, but I had to ask.  
I hope he will speak up and tell us if he is considering a race, and how he approaches our tax structure issues.
Gov race (0.00 / 0)
is clearly split... If Lynch does not run we will clearly have an interesting primary.

Hope >> Fear

All races with clear frontrunners (4.00 / 1)
And though I look forward to supporting Lynch, Shea-Porter, and Kuster, I hope to engage with any and all candidates, here and in the "real" world.

I'd also like to point out, particularly with respect to the Gubernatorial straw poll, that this isn't an actual measure of viability, nor is it even a measure of potential support from BH's loudest--there are not 148 of us.

The REAL winner of the poll (0.00 / 0)
are the voters of New Hampshire.  

The future of NH will be bright because great citizens step forward to lead the effort for a better tomorrow.

The NH Republican negative message of divide, selfishness and hate is turning off the voters by the day.  NH Democrats will have a team worthy of their votes, dreams and aspirations.

Have you told a stranger today about Bill O'Brien and his Tea Party agenda? The people of NH deserve to hear about O'Brien  and his majority committed to destroying New Hampshire and remaking it into a armed survivalist preserve.
