McCain no longer rocks in Granite State - by Brett Arends at Boston Herald

McCain no longer rocks in Granite State

"As Mitt, Hillary, Barack and a dozen others jump into the presidential stampede, something interesting is happening in New Hampshire.

For seven years, conventional wisdom has said that the state�s pivotal independent voters would line up behind maverick Sen. John McCain, as they did so famously in the 2000 GOP primary. But new polling data, to be released later this week, will suggest that might no longer be the case.

Manchester, N.H.-based American Research Group finds that McCain�s popularity among New Hampshire�s independent voters has collapsed.

�John McCain is tanking,� says ARG president Dick Bennett. �That�s the big thing . In New Hampshire a year ago he got 49 percent among independent voters. That number�s way down, to 29 percent now.�

5. Read an amusing comment today

by one of our paper's columnists. He mentioned that the Senator has "perfected the art of straight talk from both sides of his mouth".:rofl:

7. McCains last best shot at the WH was as Kerry's VP. That ticket would have

likely won and McCain would have had a leg up to follow Kerry. He isn't likely to get a chance like that again.
