McCain looks to focus on New Hampshire

John McCain is starting to return to New Hampshire, which he plans to win over in the state's primary as he did back in 2000. Back in 200 his win was over George W. Bush, but now he feels like he must return and remind these people of why they liked him. He plans to go to the people, even if it consists of many small house parties. But there is also another thing hovering over McCain and that is that recent polls are beginning to show that New Hampshire is no longer filled with the independent voters that helped him back in 2000. These polls are beginning to show that these would- be supporters are leaning towards voting in the Democratic primary in New Hampshire.

I personally think that McCain needs to set his goals higher than small house parties in New Hampshire, for numerous reasons. He needs to make sure that he gets more support from other states, and correct me if I'm wrong, but focusing on one state so much will not get him that many votes in the long run. Although his method of giving people answers to questions face to face is a great personal connect, at the same itme it doesn't go very far when you need millions of votes.

He should focus on just more than one state. One states vote will not help him win the election. Hopefully he will start to focus on more than one state.

I agree with Cody that just focusing on one state will not let McCain get so far. He needs to do something more broad that will touch almost everyone in the nation, not just the state.

I agree that he should concentrate on more than one state because if you want to win the election you always got to focus on more than one states. Even though he gets the majority votes from New Hampshire, he won;t be able to win.

I also think that McCain should focus on a more national level. Winning the votes of a single concentrated area will not really assist his campaign much. I also believe that he needs to find other ways of getting public support, public support from people all over the nation.

Past 4 comments all said that they agree with Cody, so i kind of want to disagree. But, I think I will just agree. McCain does need to start concentrating on increasing the number of the states to focus on in order to get more votes. Focusing on one state isn't the best thing to do, although there is still time.

I guess that McCain is lazy. If not, he should go further and think deeper to be a President.
