Romney wins New Hampshire, demands we offer an “alternative vision.”

Mitt Romney has won the New Hampshire primary, a week after winning the Iowa caucus.

That’s historic, if you didn’t know.  As John English accurately observes, no Republican candidate for President has won both Iowa and New Hampshire.

“We have to offer an alternative vision,” says Romney upon winning New Hampshire and that alternative is a path to a place “where we are lifted up by our desire to succeed, not dragged down by a resentment of success.”  In case anyone is forgetting, this election is about the economy, and Mitt’s proving that people want someone who they trust on the economy.

Below is Mitt’s high energy victory speech.

APROPOS: Between Mitt Romney’s 39.3% and Jon Huntsman’s 16.9%, New Hampshire gave 56.2% of its votes to Mormons…could that indicate that the LDS faith is less of a liability for Romney than some Baptist preachers and Texas politicians might want?

  1. I think the northeast is more open-minded, and the Mormon issue will manifest itself more once these southern states start voting. Hopefully the impact will be minimal… we’ll see!
