Of course it’s far too early to read much into this, but Romney wins the New Hampshire straw poll…I can’t help but wonder what this means for the 2012 Republican field.
The leaders of the New Hampshire Republican Party have spoken, and they have given Mitt Romney the early presidential lead in the Granite State. In the first-of-its-kind straw poll of members of the New Hampshire Republican State Committee, Romney drew 35% of the total vote. Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) came in second with 11%.

Does this mean Romney’s more moderate positions he held as Governor of Massachusetts will get pushed even further to the side? Can we hope that he’ll tack more toward the center to try and win swing democratic votes?
