Boston.com has an article today observing that pro-obama turnout in New Hampshire’s college towns is less than it was in 2008. There is very intentional mention of concerns (from folks like myself I assume) about out of state students being used to tip the election; but how no one could ever know how they’d vote, and about the promtion by Democrats of the idea that Republicans were tyring to keep them from voting which is why they should.
So much concern in one tiny little article, complete with deceptions, and a new narrative to plumb.
Well I just happen to have a very workable theory about why turnout in NH College towns was down–something I had not considered checking until now, thank you–and it ties directly to a well worn New Hampshire Democrat excuse about why they support out of state student voting in New Hampshire.
