There have been reports of enormous grassroots support for Paul in NH. Lots of it independent. lots of it young.

1. No - He hurts McCain and Romney |
|
There are a bunch of Libertarians in NH, and they will fall in behind Paul.

is spot on I believe- The only support I've seen for Paul here is from those who are more likely to lean right than left- He'll pare down some of McCain's supporters, and perhaps some of Romney's- but I doubt he'll have much impact at all on those who are leaning towards Obama-
I believe Obama will do very well here, as will McCain-

...but the Paul supporters are people who would mostly vote in the Republican primary anyway.

4. Obama's appeal isn't as anti-war... |
|
Yeah, it's part of it, but if anyone from the other camps thinks that is his only drawing point for people then I think they'll be using the wrong playbook.

5. The McCain-Paul fight in New Hampshire works against Obama in New Hampshire. Excluding Paul from the |
|
debate was probably the worst think for Obama because it will rally independents to Paul.
