The economy doesn't even rank in the top three of issues for likely, Republican primary voters according to a statewide poll WBZ-TV and Franklin Pierce University released tonight.

  Democratic primary voters view Hillary Rodham Clinton overwhelmingly as the candidate who will win the nomination while Mitt Romney has become the clear front-runner in the first-in-the-nation primary state.

  Hillary Rodham Clinton picked up the last but not the least, Democratic state senator to weigh in with Manchester Democrat Lou D'Allesandro hopping aboard the frontronner's bandwagon today.

   The suspense was hardly breath-taking, but ex-US Senate Democratic candidate Katrina Swett endorsed Hillary Rodham Clinton today.

   Swett has future, political ambitions and going with the frontrunner is both the easy and astute move.
