Several weeks ago Senators John McCain and Barrack Obama made campaign stops in New Hampshire. McCain however, chose for his campaign stop what else but a Nascar race, making it McCain's first real effort to court the Nascar vote, a sizeable group of people in the country.
New Hampshire has historically been a reliable, Republican voting state, but in the 2006 elections, Democrats won both house seats, re-elected their Democratic governor John Lynch, and won control of both houses in the state, questioning their loyalty to the Republicans.
To further prove the point, most polling know shows the two presidential candidates locked in a dead heat in the state.
Regardless, the McCain campaign stop was used for the two-fold purpose of courting the Nascar vote and endeavoring to win some support from New Hampshirians, probably the only state in the Northeast both candidates consider up for grabs.
