Mitt Romney Leads New Hampshire

In a surprising gain (although not so surprising if you heard the guy speak... he's great), Romney has pulled ahead of all of the competition (including Fred Thompson, who placed 4th) in New Hampshire polling.

CNN reports:

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney has jumped to the head of the pack of 2008 Republican presidential contenders in New Hampshire, according to a CNN/WMUR poll out Tuesday.

Romney, who led New Hampshire’s southern neighbor from 2003 to 2007, drew 28 percent support in the new poll. Giuliani and McCain were tied for second at 20 percent, while 11 percent backed Thompson, who set up a campaign fundraising committee June 1.
