New Hampshire Turning Bluer? Democrats Becoming the Majority Party?

By Jim on August 13th, 2008

The Dems over at Blue Hampshire are celebrating some party registration stats. Congrats to the Dems, it seems like they’ve made a lot of progress in registering voters.

Independents still hold the keys to power in New Hampshire though and I hope that they hold the Dems accountable for their uncontrolled spending, tax hikes and nanny state legislation.

We’ll have to wait for November though to see the impact of these numbers. Maybe McCain can help revive the republican party in New Hampshire.

We’ll see…
