New Hampshire Says Our Economy Sucks...

What issue loomed in the minds of New Hampshire voters as they crammed into polling stations to leacve their influential mark on the presidential elections? Immigrations? The war in Iraq? Global warming? Homeland Security? Nope, all of these headline grabbing topics took a backseat to the very unsexy subject of our struggling economy.

Republicans, Democrats, Independants...all cited worry of the nation's economic (and their own financial) future as the driving force behind their choice for president. The issues I listed earlier, the ones that seem to get the most attention, are without a doubt serious, but it is hard to worry about them when you are struggling to pay your bills or feed your children.
