MAN IN THE STREET
This week we asked independent, undecided voters in New Hampshire:
Q: With the primaries fast approaching, who are you more likely to vote for?
Jules ("Julie") Rudiani, Manchester: "Although Romney looks good in a suit, I'm leaning towards that New York fella who singlehandedly took on the terrorists and the liberal firemen's union. Hello? What? Oh, and his wife's great, too."
Chelsea Hill (Berlin): "It sure would be a fun experiment to have an almost African-American president, but I think this country's craving for a strong, capable woman and, I guess, by process of elimination, the only strong, capable woman in the race is that smart and sexy Hillary Clinton, if I'm not mistaken."
Brock O. Bomma (Nashua): "Personally, I can't stand black people, but when you compare the lackluster choices offered by both parties, this Mr. Obama seems to be the cleanest, most articulate candidate in the bunch."
Mutt Rooney (Concord): "I can't decide between the serial adulterer Giuliani and the family man Romney, but given I have to answer the question, it would be the morally superior Romney."
Edward Johnson (Keene): "First I liked Clinton, then Obama, but then I heard Edwards was going to work hard for all hardworking Americans and bring our troops home as soon as possible and provide affordable health care to all and that kind of tipped the scales ever so slightly for me."
