Romney cannot get anyone to come so they blame Paul supporters for his win? It gets more bizarre every day.

This guy, Infantine or whatever, should get the Anuzis approach.

"It's always disappointing when certain groups abuse a straw poll. That's why they lose their importance," said Infantine, a supporter of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.

WHAT IN THE WORLD?!?

Read the article. I think he's implying that people sometimes try to vote from out of state and that's why they were checking ID's. He wasn't implying Paul supporters were doing this at the poll.

Yeah, this was not a RP hit piece. If anything, whoever won 2nd place (Thompson?) should be bellyaching because every candidate except for 2nd place was mentioned! :D

I like how Cox beat Brownback.

Brownback is such a loser. That guy needs to drop out, go home, and pick up a decent biology textbook.

Facts are meaningless. You could use facts to prove anything that's even remotely true! -- Homer Simpson

This is the Team Romney approach.

The Romney guy had to be pretty dumb if he couldn't figure out that someone saying "Freedom is Popular" is going to catch the attention of people who live in a state whose motto is "Live Free or Die."

Please don't do this. The guy just expressed his opinion - he didn't try to exclude a rival candidate from a campaign event. Save the nuclear option for when it's truly warranted.

Yes, sadly biased article.

I think this is the way this paper leans, not just this journalist.

Yeah, it's called a "proportional response" :)

Ok, I do the math and Romney got 5 votes? Doesn't he have at least that many paid NH employees?
