The NH Cigar Poll

January 8th, 2008 by Steve

I don’t know how well he’ll do in the New Hampshire primary today (I’ve downgraded my expectations because of reported high voter turnout), but Ron Paul just won one contest near and dear to my heart.

New Hampshire cigar shop owner Leonard Seagren is looking forward to a more flamboyant political season.

Seagren, who owns Federal Cigar, says people participating in his quadrennial Federal Forecast exhibited more “flamboyant tosses” in trying to sink a book of matches into bags bearing likenesses of their favorite presidential candidates.

This year’s contest, which ran Dec. 31 through Sunday, saw Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, capturing 31 percent of the Republican tosses and Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., capturing 46 percent of the Democrats.

“(Voters) were more in favor of their candidates this time than in the past,” Seagren told Fosters Daily Democrat.

A cigar poll is one we can be assured Hillary won’t like, too.

   Hillary’s lawyers are kicking out poll workers in NH

   ——————————————————————————–

   I’ll update this information as I get it:

   I’m working here in Ron Paul HQ in Concord and we’ve been getting reports that Hillary’s lawyers are kicking poll workers out of various precincts across the state since this morning. They’re kicking out Obama and Ron Paul poll workers, and possibly others.

   Poll workers are there to confirm that known supporters are attending. It’s part of the GOTV process, and Hillary is using strong-arm tactics to limit our (and Obama’s) ability to conduct this! Even if the poll workers are allowed back in, the damage is done because we lose track of who has entered the polls.

   Fergus Collins (the NH GOP chairman) is writing a letter to make sure poll captains know they have a RIGHT to be there. If some lawyer tells you to leave the poll, stand your ground!

   A Campaign worker here in Concord also want the media to know about this. Hopefully I’ll get more details soon.
