As I posted over here, there is new GOP leadership in the NH House of Representatives. Our friend Ed Mosca has his take on the results of the GOP voting: SAME OLD Well, New Hampshire House Republicans elected a new face as their leader for 2009-2010 – Representative Sherman Packard of Londonderry. Unfortunately, while the …
Our friend Ed Mosca who, from time to time, has posted up his thoughts and ideas here at GraniteGrok has opened up his own digs over at EdMosca.com. Stroll on over and give him a read – we certainly will be and will be adding him to our blogroll soon. In the meantime, like many …
For the second election in a row, the New Hampshire Republican Party failed to mount a serious challenge for the office of Governor. Joe Kenney did not even get a third of the votes. And for the second election in a row, the voters put the Democrats in charge of both houses of the State …
REVENGE OF THE RINOS This coming week, the House is set to take up a so-called bipartisan constitutional amendment on education funding. But the amendment is bipartisan only in the sense that it is supported by both Democrat and Republican House members. As far as the substance is concerned, the amendment is totally one-sided in …

Day by day, the Manchester Union Leader grows more out of touch with political reality.

He’s done it again. For the second time in a row, Frank Guinta –that would be Republican Frank Guinta—has been elected Manchester’s mayor. And, once again, he defeated a well-financed, articulate Democrat who was backed by the fearsome John Lynch. But wait. How can this have happened when just one year ago Republicans in New …
Is he or isn’t he? Conservative commentators are having a dust-up over whether former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee is a conservative. The Wall Street Journal’s John Fund and Pat Toomey, President of the Club for Growth, say no. The Washington Times’ Tony Blankley says yes. The debate has focused largely on Huckabee’s record while Governor …
Just how low is the Manchester Union Leader willing to go in its monomaniacal quest to browbeat Senate Republicans into supporting that putrid excuse for a constitutional amendment known as CACR 19? As low as you can go, judging by the Union Leader’s June 19th editorial page, which features an op-ed by none other than …
THE UNION LEADER TAX HIKE In its lead editorial in the Sunday News of June 17, 2007, the Manchester Union Leader continued to pillory certain Republicans for acting like, well, Republicans by opposing the misbegotten constitutional amendment crafted by ersatz Republican Mike Whalley’s crack team of legal experts.
