CNN will be hosting the Republican Debates tonight from Manchester, New Hampshire – the debate will be co-sponsored by WMUR and Union Leader newspaper (both of New Hampshire).
CBS News gives some insight about what to look for in tonight’s debate including Romney’s potential New Hampshire strategy:
“New Hampshire Republicans are more fiscally conservative than socially conservative, so Romney’s efforts here play along with his focusing the attack on President Obama on the economy.”
CBS also notes that New Hampshire has a lot of independents, but there are also Conservatives (although I am a Democrat from New Hampshire):
“We’ll hear a lot about New Hampshire primary voters being more independent and moderate, especially compared to Iowa’s, and how those groups are important. True. But in 2008 New Hampshire was still mostly made up of conservatives (55%) even if not as staunchly so, and of Republicans (61%) as opposed to Independents (37%).”
I will be live-tweeting during this event, which begins at 8 p.m. EST.
