Jumping into second place in the latest WMUR Granite State Poll: Rudy Giuliani. Here's how the numbers broke down:

  1. Sarah Palin's poor showing only further confirms that her "power" is a myth perpetuated by a fawning media with no basis in reality.

    I'm a little surprised Ron Paul didn't fair better in NH where I assumed libertarians held more sway. Maybe NH's libertarians just don't see Paul as a realistic candidate?

  2. Ron Paul's current standing in the polls is consistent with his showing in the 2008 New Hampshire primary, when he won 8 percent of the vote. If he does run, it will be interesting to see if receives more or less votes this time around. I could see it going either way.
