Gov. Lynch sees record voter interest
Governor John Lynch predicted a record voter turnout in New Hampshire today as early reports filtered in about some polling places running short on ballots.
Lynch cited Secretary of State William Gardner's projections that 500,000 voters will cast ballots in the primaries, more than 100,000 above the previous record in 2000.
"We're seeing tremendous excitement and enthusiasm across the state," Lynch said on CNN. He said the buzz is particularly strong on the Democratic side, mentioning Gardner's prediction that 150,000 independents will vote, and 90,000 will choose the Democratic ballot.
But voters of both parties like the bipartisan cooperation in New Hampshire and are frustrated with the partisan bickering in Washington, Lynch said.
"I don't really characterize New Hampshire as a blue state or a red state," said Lynch, a Democrat whose wife Susan endorsed Hillary Clinton but has stayed neutral in the race. "....We pride ourselves on our independence."
So she endorsed Queen Hillary....what a Dunce/BabyBoomer...LOL....Obama is projected to whip her old and lame tuffet by double digits ....[ 20+ points ]....Hillary's political career/future has taken a Direct Hit forevermore...I'm elated...stunned...but filled with euphoria...WoW...imagine, knowing Hillary is politically dead before the voting booths close in 5 hours....this is one for the records of a bombastic and crushing defeat....three cheers for young Obama [ the winner] in closing the casket on the wicked witch so suddenly....Hillary is already booked in to be in the same nutcake rehab/joint with Brittany Spears......YEEEE-HAAAAW!!!!
Wow, I'm happy to see Hillary or Obama come out on top. Hell, if they'd team up together the white house will be just another step away!
I hope the increase in voter turnout in N.H. represents a new and fresh excitment about voting and about electing new leaders who can improve the state and condition of America. Maybe, just maybe the illusion that voters can make a difference is a renewed, real and meaningful illusion.
wow I'm always impressed with the idiotic posts by Joe Bascopolis. Someone should tell that guy to get a day job!
