Facebook Doodling – more blithering from Andy Martin, the most experienced…

More blithering from Andy Martin who is running as a Republican in NH’s First Congressional District.  He generally thinks he’s a big deal in the races he enters but generally ends up, in real life and in the real results, as a zero.  But he’s well known by the inside-politics people and pretty much, everyone …

Denaro, Eddie …

CNHT Taxpayer Family Reunion Picnic – Candidates for US Congress in CD-2

Like NH’s First Congressional District (NH CD-1), there are plenty of candidates to look at/worry over (depending on your political point of view) in CD-2.

GraniteGrok reports: Annual Belknap County GOP Lake Winnipesaukee Cruise – Lynne Blankenbeker

Lynne Blankenbeker was the next candidate up but this time in New Hampshire’s Second Congressional District.  A former NH State Representative from Concord as well as a captain in the Navy Reserves, she’s decided like Andy Sanborn to move up to the next rung on the political ladder.  She, too, makes the case to the assembled …
