Romney confronts New Hampshire occupiers
From Fox Nation
Presidential candidate Mitt Romney held a rally at McKelvie Intermediate School in Bedford,NH where he was interrupted by ‘Occupy’ protesters. Though the interruption was drowned out by the crowd chanting “Mitt,” Romney fired back and said, “How about instead of shouting, why don’t you say what you think, say your view!”
John Sununu: Gingrich Makes ‘Serious Mistake’ With ‘Anti-Free Market’ Message
In an interview today with Larry O’Connor of Breitbart.tv, Governor John Sununu attacked Newt Gingrich and his backers for being anti-capitalist. Newt Gingrich has “gone anti-free enterprise,” Sununu told O’Connor.
“What I’m shocked at is someone like Mr. [Sheldon] Adelson, who is a smart, free-enterprise guy” using his money to attack free-enterprise. “Those attacks… are on the investment community of this country.” Newt’s “defining himself in the Obama corner.” (Sheldon Adelson is one of America’s richest men and a casino mogul in Las Vegas.)

Mitt Romney Sharpens Attack on “Crony Capitalism”
Unveiling what may become a central theme of his presidential campaign, Gov. Mitt Romney on Thursday blasted President Barack Obama’s controversial decision to circumnavigate congressional approval of his three appointments to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) as yet another example that Obama is a “crony capitalist” and “jobs killer.”
At an event in Salem, New Hampshire, Mr. Romney laid out his case that Mr. Obama uses political appointments to reward his supporters—in this case Big Labor—and political cronies:

Occupiers plan gay pride parade & ‘funeral for the American dream’ to disrupt NH primary
From The Blaze
With several attention-grabbing protests before Iowa’s caucuses, Occupy Wall Street activists proved their movement did not end when its encampments in big cities dispersed. But they also showed the group hasn’t matured into a political force, and it’s not clear whether it will become a liberal counterweight to the tea party this election year.
Following Tuesday’s vote in Iowa, on which the movement had little impact, Occupy organizers are pledging to stage more protests in New Hampshire and South Carolina as the presidential nomination process moves east. But the smaller-than-expected crowds, a muddled message that was mostly ignored by candidates, and tactics that seem to limit their appeal raised questions about its long-term viability.
Can Romney Win the South? and Other Questions As the Republican Primary Race Prepares to Go Southern
In heaping scorn on Mitt Romney’s presidential prospects, George F. Will points to Romney’s poor record at winning votes. He points out that Romney has won 5 out of 22 elections in which he has run, making a batting average of .227.
Will could have gone further. He doesn’t mention that Romney has never won a primary in the South where the Republican party is at its strongest, and where the country as a whole is moving. Thanks to shifting demographics, the South recently picked up 7 new electoral delegates. That is good news for Republican candidates come the general election, but first they must survive the South’s primary contests.

Will an Open Primary Sink Romney in New Hampshire?
Mitt Romney currently maintains a long-standing lead in New Hampshire, according to the Real Clear Politics polling average, 17 point ahead of Newt Gingrich and 18 points to Ron Paul. This is not surprising, as Romney has lived in New Hampshire for the last four years. At this time in the 2008, campaign Romney similarly had a lead, although not as pronounced, and went on to lose to John McCain 38%-32%. Could a similar upset be awaiting Romney in this cycle as well?
