No, but it is rock-ribbed Republican, in the words of Stephen King. Or was (I believe they went against Bush in 2004 and that shocked me as well). For New England, especially compared to their western and southern neighbors, they're pretty conservative. Libertarian or no, I'm very surprised they took this step.
new hampshire is conservative, but libertarian conservative...they also approved and fought for their gay bishop...
they are ALL ABOUT "live free or die" and that means getting the government out of our proverbial bedrooms.
my grandparents lived there for pretty much as long as i have been alive-and as conservative as they and their friends were, they were also very much of the live and let live philosophy...which is pretty typical of the area.
My dad lives in New Hampshire and I lived with him in Milford for three years (he and my stepmom now live in Andover, near New London). Where did your grandparents live? Such a beautiful state.

But Mike is right--New Hampshire Republicans are what the party used to be. They mind their own damn business and expect you to mind yours. Ayuh!

No way...did your mother or father grow up in Amherst?
Andover, where my dad and stepmom live, is just south of the Lakes region--we have a pond on our property and a large lake across the way.
