POLL: Who Will be the Surprise Candidate in NH?

Could Ron Paul or Jon Huntsman beat Mitt Romney?

 

Rick Santorum shocked the world when he finished in a virtual tie with Mitt Romney in the Jan. 3 Iowa Caucus.

Today, we want to know who will surprise New Hampshire.

Jon Huntsman seems to be the popular choice. The former Utah governor has focused his entire campaign in New Hampshire and has been surging in the Granite State since going toe-to-toe with Mitt Romney during Sunday's NBC's Meet the Press Debate in Concord. Currently polling in the third place, a top-two finish would certainly launch Huntsman into the national spotlight.

Romney has been leading in NH polls since day one. A win wouldn't be a surprise. A blowout may be.

Ron Paul always has an opportunity to make a splash. Can he beat Romney?

Or maybe Rick Santorum, who trumpets social conservatism, will surprise in a second straight state?

Newt Gingrich may have peaked in December. Does the "comeback grandfather" have enough for one last push over the finish line?

Of course, Buddy Roemer, Rick Perry, Christopher V. Hill and Fred Karger are also options. Let us know what you think by voting in the attached poll and sound off in the comment section below.
