Frank Guinta is a longtime friend of New Hampshire libertarians.  In fact, there's also a rumor that he was once a dues-paying member of the Libertarian Party.  He is the immediate former Mayor of Manchester.  He built up a reputation of being out of the ordinary, even a bit quirky.  He never compromised on taxes and budgetary matters, and in the process made a few enemies.  He's also a diehard Tea Party devotee, and has spoken at numerous rallies.  <\/p><p>Now, the very latest poll has him taking the lead over increasingly unpopular, and ultra-liberal incumbent Carol Shea-Porter.  (The polling data also has moderate-to-conservative Republican, and former Representative for CD2 Charlie Bass with a comfortable lead, over the incumbent Dem; another GOP pick-up.)  <\/p><p>From <a href=\"http:\/\/www.publicpolicypolling.com\/pdf\/PPP_Release_NH_422.pdf\">PPP<\/a> (via Hedgehog):<\/p><p><a href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_Zm6JXvXXze4\/S9GBoXaj9fI\/AAAAAAAALCU\/TuH4aMt9ug0\/s1600\/Carolsheaporter.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\" src=\"http:\/\/euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/3af95_Carolsheaporter.jpg\" border=\"0\"><\/a><\/p><blockquote><p>US HOUSE &ndash; NEW HAMPSHIRE &ndash; CD1 (PPP)<br>Frank Guinta (R) 46%<br>Carol Shea-Porter (D-inc) 45%<\/p><p>US HOUSE &ndash; NEW HAMPSHIRE &ndash; CD2 (PPP)<br>Charlie Bass (R) 47%<br>Katrina Swett (D) 32%<\/p><\/blockquote><p>A victory in the CD1 race for Libertarian and Conservative Republicans will be especially sweet.
