  • Of course we’ll be talking about POLITICS…

  • 2nd Congressional GOP candidate Grant Bosse will discuss his ongoing campaign as it heads into the final stretch before the September 9th primary. Endorsed by the ‘Grok, this not-so longshot candidate has left more than one person with a better than expected assessment following the chance to meet or hear him. "He’s remarkably good on the stump," said one insider to me some time back during a phone conversation. In addition to his stances on all of the important issues of the day, Skip and I really like his embrace of the New Media and his ability to get the most bang for the campaign buck. "I might be outspent, but I won’t be outworked," said Grant at the CNHT picnic in July. We’ll get an update on his 50 Days, Fifty Ways to Cut Spending plan. The Union Leader, while not endorsing him, said "Grant Bosse, former aide to Sen. John Sununu, has an impressive political mind. He would make an excellent representative one day. " We disagree— That day is NOW!

  • Holly Robichaud, AKA The Lone Republican blogging at the Boston Herald, is a successful GOP political strategist who is known for speaking her mind. "Holly is not having a good day unless she is making a big government liberal miserable." And now, she’s having an even better day, because somebody she knows has been picked to run as John McCain’s Vice President. Holly met Mrs. Palin some time back and predicted her to be a rising star in Republican party and was among the early voices calling for McCain to consider her for the Veep slot…

  • Jeb Bradley is working doubletime in his quest for the opportunity to run against Carol Shea Porter in the November election. The primary battle between him and his opponent has certainly been one to watch. With a series of debates, neither Republican candidate has shirked from the fight. Of course, Skip and I feel that at the end of the day, only Jeb Bradley has what it takes to defeat the cider-sipping, anti-war, peacenik-loving Shea Porter in November. Jeb will give us his thoughts on energy, events in Georgia and Russia, the economy, and anything else that comes up.

  • The Next Right bills itself as "the place for wired activists to build a new Republican Party and conservative movement." A "community-driven grassroots action website for the right," featuring in-depth political analysis, on-the-ground reports, and strategic discussion and debate. Among the founding editors is Soren Dayton, who joins us from Minnesota to preview the Republican Convention and what we should expect. We’ll discuss the ongoing successful use and managment of the media by the McCain campaign, as they seem to take a bit of wind out of Obama’s sail at nearly every turn. Is it too early to note that Senator McCain has managed to surround himself with people that are really good at what they do? Will he end up, despite conventional wisdom that says otherwise, the "master" of the new media?

Wow! It all starts at 9AM EST Saturday. Tune in if you’re in Central NH at NewsTalk 1490AM WEMJ or live on the ‘Net here… The best radio (in our humble opinions) anywhere…
