The Boston Herald reports on NH voting to allow gay marriage and comments on how the state seems to be turning blue:
New Hampshire is shedding its image as a reliably Republican-red state, reflecting New Hampshire’s changing demographics as younger and more liberal.
Lawmakers last week passed bills allowing gay marriage and medicinal marijuana.
The talk is about demographics but the real story is social liberals fleeing high taxes in Massachusetts.
If you drive from New Ipswich to Nashua you see so many business’ that weren’t there twenty years ago that you have trouble finding landmarks that you used to use.
The question on where NH will go in the presidential elections will depend solidly on fiscal conservatism. If you are fiscally conservative you can win in NH. That has to be the stress of any candidate.
Believe me by 2012 if anything turns NH red again for the general election it will be that and the president will be a big help along that line.
