In the heart of New Hampshire, a few miles south of the Old Man of the Mountain in Franconia Notch State Park lies a natural travel wonder carved out of rock over millennia. A superb three kilometre (two miles) walk traverses covered bridges, glacial rocks, tumbling waterfalls and a staggering narrow passage called Flume Gorge. In fall, the reds, bronzes and yellows of the surrounding trees

New Hampshire does not recognize single member limited liability companies for tax deferred exchange purposes. They treat each single member limited liability company or LLC as a separate and distinct entity for state income taxes. This can significantly impede the tax deferred exchange transaction when you want to dispose of real property through a single member limited liability comp
For many millions of years, the Old Man of the Mountain stared unflinchingly across Franconia Notch (a few miles north of the superb Flume Gorge) perched precariously on an upper granite wall, almost 400 metres from the base of the gorge. The Old Man had the enigmatic look of a craggy Mona Lisa, neither smiling nor frowning. His fixed gaze oversaw a park full of great walking trails, fine

It was a great experience for me because I had never worked on a Presidential campaign before, and I had never been to New Hampshire or Nevada before.New Hampshire was absolutely insane because it was the first primary in the country. I talked to a lot of people on the streets and they were very nice. Even people from other campaigns like Ron Paul, John McCain, Mike Huckabee, Barack Obama, and John Edwards were very fun to talk to on the streets even though we had our political disagreements. (I avoided Hillary supporters at all costs....) I was based in Concord, New Hampshire, and did a lot of canvassing there. I would say of everyone I talked to abo
Robert Novak has a column out this morning in which he says last night's loss in New Hampshire for Mitt Romney was devastating:Romney's loss here was devastating. He planned to boost his modest nationalratings with wins in Iowa and New Hampshire, where he led in spending,organization and polls.At the beginning of December, Romney enjoyedtwice as much New Hampshire support as McCain. The senator's local supportersattribute his comeback to the endorsement here of independent Democratic Sen.Joseph Lieberman. But what propelled McCain's victory was Romney's loss in Iowato former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee. The onetime Baptist preacher relied onIowa evangelicals, an asset lacking in New Hampshire.The next two weeks are filled with promise for McCain and peril for Romney. Michigan, where Romney
By Chuck BrowderWinners Hillary Clinton – It was a good night for the former First Lady. I suppose those crocodile tears really paid off for her. Had she not placed first here, it would have made it exponentially more difficult to garner the nomination. According to The Associated Press, Hillary managed to win over 46 percent of women voters in New Hampshire, and Clinton also prevailed among the largest age groups, voters 40-49 years of age, and seniors 65 years and up. Among the one in five voters who picked "has the right experience," Clinton trounced Obama 71 percent to 5 percent. This should serve as effective damage control for the national front-runner, who will be very difficult to stop from here on out.John McCain – Not to overstate it, but this was an amazing co
John Ellis has written an amazing piece for Real Clear Politics in which he argues that Mike Huckabee was a huge winner tonight in New Hampshire:Iowa was grand for former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, but New Hampshire was a bonanza. He cast his bread upon the waters there and though he finished a distant third, it was returned manifold. The one thing that Huckabee cannot afford, at this stage of the race, is head-to-head defeat. He needs at least two "strong" candidates in the field while he puts together the pieces of his Republican proletariat coalition. What New Hampshire delivered last night was a revitalized Sen. John McCain, which makes Michigan a three-way race, which makes Gov. Huckabee's campaign there viable. If ever there was an electorate that is ripe for Gov. Huckabe
Here is what Mike Huckabee wrote to supporters tonight after coming in third in New Hampshire:I just finished speaking to our supporters in new Hampshire before heading off to South Carolina. We are running a strong third place finish as I write, our rivals had a long history in New Hampshire, deeper organizations and millions of dollars of advertising in the state. Just weeks ago we were polling 5th and 6th in the state. Tonight we finished strong and came in third. A special thanks to the people of New Hampshire! Thank you to the volunteers on the ground and our dedicated campaign staff that made this happen.Our ideas are resonating: our strong support for life and marriage, securing our borders, preventative health care, energy independence and massive tax reform all helped propel us he
From Bloomberg:-- Senator John McCain of Arizona won the New Hampshire primary, handing rival Mitt Romney his second defeat and further muddying the waters for the Republican presidential nomination.McCain had 37 percent of the vote, while Romney trailed with 29 percent, with 27 percent of the precincts reporting, according to results posted by Fox News, CNN and MSNBC.It's a setback for former Massachusetts Governor Romney, who lost to ex-Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee in Iowa on Jan. 3 and had been counting on victories in Iowa and New Hampshire to gain front-runner status.The defeat puts Romney, 60, ``in really, really tough shape,'' said Spiliotes. ``He has the money and the organization to stay in, but they've just beaten him so badly.'' Romney, who won Wyoming's less-closely watche
