With just one day until the New Hampshire primary things are looking good for Mitt Romney. Even though his support seems to have sagged by just a few points in final days all the recent polls of New Hampshire still have him beating everyone else in the field by double digits, while potential conservative rivals a fighting for third.

Santorum Stalling Out in New Hampshire |

Before the Iowa caucus Santorum’s support in New Hamshire was only in the low single digits according to most polls; immediately after Iowa he jumped up to around 10 percent. But since then Santorum hasn’t managed to gain any additional support.
GOP Clown Car Runs Off the Road, Accelerating Its Gay and Womb-Control Obsession |

These 2012 GOP Primary debates are filled with both humor and horror when it comes to LGBT issues. The fact that these straight white guys are up there talking about how to “preserve marriage” from LGBT Americans as well as basic civil rights is embarrassing. On Sunday’s Meet the Press (screen cap at right), there was less focus on TEH HOMOs, but Saturday’s New Hampshire debate was seriously out of control.

Tuesday is the New Hampshire Primary, the next stop on the road to nomination. We lost Michele Bachmann this week after Iowa, so we are down to six candidates, with Rick Santorum moving to center stage.
Santorum Gaining in New Hampshire but Romney Still Dominates |

Now that we have the first set of entirely post-Iowa polling numbers in New Hampshire we can see that Rick Santorum’s extremely close second place finish in the caucuses gave him a big bump in support.
Santorum Gets an Iowa Bump |

As expected, Rick Santorum’s extremely close second place finish in Iowa gives him a noticeable bump in the polls. Gallup’s national tracking poll found Santorum at just 6 percent in its tracking polling from 12/26-1/2. Now, just two days later, with the tracking poll including some post-Iowa numbers, Santorum is up to 11 percent in Gallup’s polling from 12/28-1/4.
Huntsman Attacks Romney, Opponents on Financial Regulation, Bank Size |
| By: David Dayen Wednesday January 4, 2012 5:27 pm |
Jon Huntsman has always been able to get some media love, and it’s interesting how he’s using it in his last-ditch attempt to salvage his Presidential campaign. He’s going after Mitt Romney for being a servant to big banks and saying the TBTF banks need to be “right sized.”
Looks Like Bachmann, Perry Out After Iowa |

To the extent Santorum can make this a race, he’s helped by winnowing the field. Michele Bachmann cancelled planned events in South Carolina and will hold a press conference back in Iowa this morning. Similarly, Rick Perry, in his campaign concession speech, said he would go back to Texas and “reassess” the results.
And Then Comes New Hampshire |

No matter what happens tonight in the Iowa caucus, a week from now it will be all about Mitt Romney. After Iowa comes the New Hampshire primary and the winner there is now practically a foregone conclusion. According to Suffolk New Hampshire tracking polling Romney currently has more than twice as much support as anything other candidate, and it will be difficult for any other candidate to change that.
