New Hampshire not feeling the love for Tubby, and yet, NH is the only state where he has done any real campaign work. This is to be expected if you are from NJ. The more people see, the less they like. It has ever been thus. New Hampshire debate watchers have a message for Chris Christie: Get off the island - Poll In an exclusive USA TODAY/Boston Globe/Suffolk University poll in New Hampshire, 41% of likely Republican primary voters who watched last week's debate cited the former New Jersey governor as the winner, or rather loser, in a question of which of the seven participants should drop out of the presidential race first.

It's a real uphill battle for Haley or DeSantis. Not only do they have to work their butts off to even be in a weak second place behind Trump but if Youngkin enters in November he will pull ahead of them within a matter of days and they will slide down the totem pole again. Nikki Haley rises to second in pair of early-state GOP polls Two new Republican primary polls of the early nominating contests of New Hampshire and South Carolina have the same two top takeaways. Former President Donald Trump enjoys a significant lead in both early states, and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley has established herself in second place — for now.

Quirky. RNC will not allow Vivek and Christie to go face to face outside of an "official Ronna McRomney" debate and outright threatens them if they do. At the same time, they allow Desantis and Newsom to go head to head in a debate on Hannity. Yeh, I get that Newsom is outside the republican club so it is not officially a primary debate, blah, blah, blah. Just points out though how frigging boring and useless the RNC debates are. And the free market media tries to get some better discussions going and they kill them because they are a threat to the RNC productions which, as I said, are useless and low quality. RNC shuts down Chris Christie and Vivek Ramaswamy Fox News debate with "code red" Ramaswamy confirmed the news in a reaction on social media, where he criticized the RNC for "[calling] a code-red" on their event. "Both parties are so corrupt, it's sick," he wrote. "Think about what exactly the Establishment is so scared of. It's not hard to figure out." The businessman also pointed out that the RNC is allowing Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to hold a televised debate on November 30 with California Gov. Gavin Newsom. Christie issued his own response, arguing that the party "needs more debates and in-depth discussions not less," and expressed that the RNC stepping in is a "real cause for concern."

As discussed, Youngkin will have an election in Virginia in exactly one month from today or tomorrow. If he makes/continues to make big republican gains there he will use that as a springboard. If he does not then he won't. But the second place behind Trump is there for him right out of the gate if he wants it. Look at where Pence is. Give up the ghost, mate. A USA TODAY/Boston Globe/Suffolk Poll shows Haley with the support of 19 percent of likely Republican primary voters in New Hampshire.

DeSantis stepping up the attacks on Trump but still too little and too late. All things considered this attack on its own is not strong enough even if DeSantis had leveraged it when had momentum.
