Yesterday was the 2011 Annual Meeting of the NH GOP Party where several internal Party positions were up for grabs including the Chairman’s position (Sununu was retiring). Here is the announcement:
And yes, the entire auditorium EXPLODED in cheers – I apologize for the quality of the video as I also got caught up in the moment…
We’ll leave this one up on top for a bit…
Sununu had, as any regular reader of the ‘Grok knows, heavily backed Jack’s opponent heavily in the race. Just before this video started, I had been watching Sununu before the vote was announced, and it became clear from his face and his body stance that he was pi…. angry and resigned to a loss. While he will be remembered for much good he did over the last two years, I am afraid that his legacy will be tarnished due to his massive throw down against the Liberty & Freedom wing of the Party here in NH in the attempt (as I have written and spoken about before) to keep the Establishment in the seats of power.
One can easily tell that this was not an easy announcement to make.
