Two of our old buddies with the depressing news – on 3rd ballot, Shawn Jasper becomes Speaker with 195 mostly Democrat votes to O’Brien’s 178 all GOP votes – as Pindell points out, 3/4 of the GOP caucus voted against Jasper, but his old Democrat buddies elected him. No Wonder Deputy Dawg shuffled off, stage Left!
Shocking Shawn Jasper stunning upset of Bill O'Brien, 195-178. #NH1News, #nhpolitics

We, The People, voted for GOP reps and the expectation of Bill O’Brien as Speaker for fiscal sanity – we got chicanery during the caucus, and backroom dealing by Jasper and the Democrats during the Organizing Session, then Voila! Jasper is Speaker – with a poor voting record, this is NOT the Speaker we were looking for!
Let us not forget. At NO point did Kelly Ayotte endorse O’Brien for Speaker – can we assume she was in on the game?
Another case of the Scam-Man shuffle – split the vote and collude with the Democrats. Burn this party down – it is of no earthly use!
