Thank you for your patience during construction of The Broad Side of the Barn
Senator
McCain has an advantage when it comes to New Hampshire. His personality
fits the personality of the state. New Hampshirites connect with the state
motto, ‘Live Free or Die’. It’s on our license plates
and it’s on state welcome signs. Periodically someone complains that
it’s a bit harsh for as a greeting to tourists. The typical response
is, ‘Too bad that’s our motto; don’t like it don’t
come here.’ New Hampshire is a conservative state that has both a
libertarian and independent streak. This is part of the reason Senator
McCain fits in well up here. It’s a state that prefers a conservative
free thinker. The common request of government is stay out of my pocketbook,
stay out of my life. It’s also a state supportive of people who serve
in uniform. Senator McCain’s service, commitment to eliminating wasteful
spending, and strong character all serve him well in this state. While
the polls may favor a neighboring Governor at this time, New Hampshire
is not a state that can simply be bought through advertising. In the end
Senator McCain reflects the character of New Hampshire even better than
his locally residing competition.
