Poll: not a lot of Jesus-rode-a-dinosaur voters in NH
But there are many pro-multiple choice voters.

Election 2008: New Hampshire Republican Primary
Thursday, December 13, 2007

Huck-a-mania has not made its way to New Hampshire.

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of the state shows former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney with 33% support and a fifteen point lead. That’s the third straight Rasmussen poll to show Romney leading by at least fifteen points in the Granite State.

The new primary election poll shows Arizona Senator John McCain in second place at 18% followed by former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani at 15% and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee at 14%.

Fred Thompson, at 2%, has fallen so low that he now trails both Ron Paul (8%) and Tom Tancredo (3%). Duncan Hunter earns the vote from 1% and 7% are not sure. In September, Thompson earned 19% of the vote in New Hampshire.

Other than McCain picking up three percentage points, the current results show essentially no change over the past two weeks for the leading candidates. In that late-November poll, Romney led by nineteen points. Earlier in November he was up by fifteen.

Mitt Romney 33%
John McCain 18%
Rudy Giuliani 15%
Mike Huckabee 14%
Ron Paul 8%
Tom Tancredo 3%
Fred Thompson 2%
Duncan Hunter 1%

1. Boy, Thompson left a real crater in NH. New Hampshirites hate taxes--
and are not as gullible as Iowans when the tent revival comes to town. I would guess that's why Hucksterbee is not doing as well there.

3. This is New England. Even the regular church goers (which is a minority)...
don't believe such moronic things.

Zie Huckster is going to have a difficult time making it to the top in NH.

4. It was Noah who rode the Dinosaurs
It was Noah who rode the dinosaurs and not Jesus. Remember that these idiots think that the dinosaurs were made extinct and the Grand Canyon was carved in the great flood.

6. He was >600 years old when he rode them. They found a saddle recently and are putting
it into the Creation Museum in KY. Not sure if it was his saddle or one of his sons.

7. I went to the creation museum in KY
And it claims that Noah, as requested by God, put about 50 different "kinds" of dinosaurs on his ark. They didn't become extinct until later. I'd LOVE to see a human put t-rex and his buddies on a boat.

5. The business of his taking gifts as governor won't help either.
"A $1,000 pair of cufflinks from a supporter, tens of thousands of dollars of clothing from a wealthy Little Rock businessman and thousands in gift certificates and cash from staff and appointees were among the lavish gifts given to Republican presidential candidate and unexpected frontrunner Mike Huckabee while he was governor of Arkansas.
The gifts fell within Arkansas's ethics rules but have raised questions among the governor's political opponents and ethics analysts at a time when scrutiny of the candidate is intensifying, and are at odds with the humble persona Huckabee has adopted on the campaign trail.

A review of state records by the Guardian indicates that during his more than 10 years as governor, Huckabee received thousands of dollars in presents almost every year: gift certificates to sporting goods stores, clothing boutiques and Wal-Mart, a $3,695 pair of cowboy boots, a $500 belt and more"
