.......The following poll results suggest that John McCain may
tie -- or even exceed -- "Wall Street" George in the New Hampshire
primary.....

That is an important primary, but the record of winners in that
primary (of the REPUBLICAN party) does not mean much.....  By the
time the Republicans get to their convention ... what counts is
the (Wall Street) "establishment" of the party ($$$$$$$$$$) -- not the
primaries.....

The Republican establishment does not allow candidates who cannot be
'controlled' by the establishment ... to get that nomination......
Clearly, John McCain is one who cannot be controlled.....!!!

That past record in New Hampshire is not likely to change this year --
even with the spectacular 'run' that John McCain is making.....

It's a nice dream -- to think that the will of 'the people' might count --
but it IS a dream.......

Cheerio......

N.H. Poll Shows McCain, Bush Tied


           MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) _ A new poll of New Hampshire voters shows
 John McCain for the first time tied with George W. Bush in the race
 for the Republican presidential nomination.
           Bush had 38 percent, compared to 35 percent for McCain, a
 difference within the poll's 4 percentage point margin of error.
           ``I think (Bush) has quite a challenge,'' said pollster Dick
 Bennett. ``There's something there that some Republican voters,
 especially men, aren't buying about the guy.''
           The New Hampshire Poll showed men were more likely to favor
 McCain, while women favored Bush.
           The poll also showed McCain with the highest favorability rating
 _ 67 percent _ among Republicans. Bush's favorability rating
 dropped to 56 percent from 71 percent in October.
           Speaking Wednesday after filing for the New Hampshire primary,
 Bush said different polls are showing different results, but he
 realizes McCain is a strong candidate.
           ``This is a competitive race. I understand it's competitive and
 I look forward to working hard,'' Bush said. ``If I had to guess
 why Senator McCain is doing well, it's people respect him and so do
 I. He's a good man.''
           Among Democrats, Vice President Al Gore held a slight lead over
 former New Jersey Senator Bill Bradley, with 46 percent to
 Bradley's 40 percent.
           The telephone poll of 600 likely Republican primary voters and
 600 likely Democratic voters was conducted Nov. 4 through Nov. 9 by
 the American Research Group Inc. of Manchester.
           A WNDS-TV-Franklin Pierce College poll, released last week, had
 38 percent of likely Republican voters for Bush to 30 percent for
 McCain. The poll's margin of error was plus or minus 6 percentage
 points.
           A Dartmouth College-Associated Press earlier this week had Bush
 ahead of McCain, 44 percent to 31 percent. The margin of error was
 5 percentage points.
