John McCain and Mitt Romney have both been criss-crossing the Granite state in one last quest for votes. McCain’s Straight Talk Express pulled a decent, but far from spectacular, crowd in Manchester earlier. Mitt Romney filled a school hall in Bedford.
There’s a bond between McCain and New Hampshire voters, as one undecided voter (she’s picking between Hillary, Obama and McCain) told me he’s a maverick and this is a maverick state. McCain was in feisty form emphasising his ability to be commander in chief from day one—working in a reference to today’s incident in the Straits of Hormuz into his remarks—and his outsider status in an attempt to deflect the Romney critique that he is a creature of Washington.
Turnout is expected to be high tomorrow thanks both to voter interest and unseasonally warm weather; the higher the turnout, the better for McCain who has a lead just outside the margin of error and polls well amongst those not certain to vote.
