In NH, 7 moderate Republicans have been "primaried" in favor of far-righties - most for the "sin" of voting against gay marrige repeal. And it was done with out-of-state PAC money. From the looks, any Repub running for statewide office has scrubbed their campaign material of GOP references or ID - even lobbyist "Odius" Lamontagne, whose (Governor)message is straight-up neocon.

There are some Romney signs here - but they are mostly on the way to Mitt's house!
