NH Union Leader takes front page shot at Romney on election day.

Now it’s New Hampshire’s turn to decide

<snip>
Voters here may decide that Newt Gingrich was right on Sunday to call Romney’s claims of being a non-politician “pious baloney.”

Romney claimed that he didn’t move to Massachusetts “to begin a political career, running time and time again.” But that is exactly what Romney did, running for senator in 1994, governor in 2002, and running non-stop for President since 2006.

Voters here may decide that Jon Huntsman was right to smack Romney’s cheap shot against Huntsman for having served his country as U.S. ambassador to China. Romney suggested such service was anti-Republican, but his own big local supporter, Judd Gregg, had accepted just such service before backing out of becoming Obama’s commerce secretary. And what did Romney think of Huntsman’s own two sons, serving their country in the U.S. Navy?

Voters may even decide that Romney’s promise to let “the generals” tell him when to start or leave a war is not what they expect from a commander-in-chief.
