Well, it is nice to see, here in NH, the Republicans starting to get it into gear!  Locally, the Republicans have just opened up their campaign office (you know, the one that the Obama campaign called the best site in town when they had it!).  Although I had nothing to do with obtaining and provisioning it, it was quite pleasing to see that the office was PACKED as Senator Sununu and former (and future) Congressman Jeb Bradley showed up to help christen the office.

Of course, the normal Democrat trackers showed up.  It was rather amusing to see them on the outside trying to film through the plate glass window - bet that sound of Sununu was REAL high quality too (while sound CAN be picked up through glass, probably not so much with the rig you got)!  Camera dud didn't seem to be happy to have to talk to me (although he did say he reads the 'Grok - Hi Guy!) instead of focusing on Sununu.  I just thought that one tracker might wanna talk shop with another....naw, not so much.  All I was trying to do was be polite....

And his compadre - look dude, you just gotta get a better class of tailor for that ersatz gas pump you were wearing.  Remember, this was a FORMAL opening - that shade of green didn't become you all that well and because of your poor tailoring, you really reminded me of a 30 year old BP station that had been abandoned for, say, 29 years.

Just think - all that money your parents are spending on you for college and you parade around as a sandwich board?

Anyways, from the Citizen:

Republicans talk about victory as they open Laconia headquarters

New Hampshire Republicans spoke confidently of making a political comeback as they officially opened their Lakes Region office Monday in downtown Laconia.

 Sen. John Sununu who is up for re-election and 1st District congressional candidate Jeb Bradley made a guest appearance at the grand opening for the Lakes Region's headquarters at 664 Main St. for Republican John McCain's campaign for President. The facility will serve Belknap and Carroll counties.

"This is going to be a team effort." said Peter Spaulding, a former executive councilor who was representing presumptive presidential candidate John McCain. "We have great volunteers throughout New Hampshire."

There are five other Republican offices in New Hampshire, located in Concord, Manchester, Nashua, Stratham and Lebanon.                       

Sununu was excited about the facility. He exclaimed that the New Hampshire GOP is an outstanding organization and he thinks the volunteers will "get out the vote, get out the message."

The senator claims that Republicans understand the issues and challenges today such as energy conservation and rising taxes. He wants to open up offshore drilling, produce more oil and energy alternatives at home and "keep the money in the United States." "We're going to win because we've got the best candidates," Sununu said.  

Jeb Bradley, who held the 1st District seat in Congress for two terms before he was defeated two years ago by Democrat Carol Shea-Porter, also made an appearance at the opening and said that "Democrats are after our pocketbooks" and that Shea-Porter promoted multiple tax increases because she wants to spend all our money.

Bradley said he is "ready to take back our state and turn it around and make it red again."
