Yes! Bring back those manufacturing jobs to New Hampshire! Reopen the Abbott-Downing Stagecoach Manufacturer! And that place that made wagon wheels for the whole nation! And the locomotive builder. Why, it's barely been a century since the textile producers and the brickworks left.

" the only state to have an all-female chief executive and congressional delegation"; also, same-sex marriage and medical MJ approved.

Due to the large number of Bostonians invading the lower half of the state (all 6 square miles of it) and turning the hardscrabble dairy farms into upscale organic weekend chalets, NH is in grave danger of becoming a blue state. Maybe they should call the League of the South for some advice.
