NH Primary Night Open Thread – Updated as often as I can…

September 26, 2018September 12, 2012 Steve MacDonald

OK. I or other Groksters will post votes and updates here when we get them or more likley see them. Feel free to email me results at steve@granitegrok.com.

Final Update (Scroll down for earlier entries)

WMUR goes live at 10 with their primary coverage. I’m done for now. We’ll catch up in the AM unless the other Groksters have more to add.

I did want to point out that it looks like 20,000 more people voted in the GOP race for governor with about 50% in. If that holds, the Democrats are doomed up and down the ticket.

The Morning After…NH State Primary 2012 (Updated)

September 26, 2018September 12, 2012 Steve MacDonald

Ovide Lamontagne and Maggie Hassan will battle it out for governor. A number of RTW RINO’s were sent packing. A few RINO’s survived. And if the primary vote for governor is any indication overall voter enthusiasm is significantly tilted toward the Republican parties favor.

Over 100,000 voters pulled GOP ballots, with only about 79,000 pulling the democrat primary ballot. Given the number of independents we can safety say that they were more interested in who would be running as governor from the Republican camp than from the tiny tent on the left. Is it enough to make Democrats worry?

While we consider that how about a few other races of interest? (Just a few)

Democrats Celebrate Soviet Navy At Convention

September 26, 2018September 12, 2012 Steve MacDonald

Oh Yeah. Those Democrats are all about the Military (and veterans)…just not the…um…US Military.

In what was supposed to be moving tribute to the military a large image portrayed behind those assembled on the dais of the Democrat National Convention displayed…Soviet Era War ships from the Russian Black Sea Fleet.

So Democrats have affirmed something we should have always known. They like veterans…Soviet veterans.

Who’d have ever suspected that?

And they are (by their own admission) the smartest people in the room, in case you forgot.

NH Democrats Silent On Obama Death Toll

September 26, 2018September 12, 2012 Steve MacDonald

Character matters. Democrats have none. For all their mewling about body counts, we’ve heard next to nothing (actually, nothing) about the brave men and women who have been wounded or killed fighting the Democrat parties rhetorical ‘Good War’ over in Afghanistan, since Obama has been in charge.

Under former President George W. Bush, 575 American soldiers died and fewer than 3,000 were wounded in Afghanistan. This means under Obama, at least 1,405 soldiers have died and nearly 15,000 additional soldiers have been wounded, which means 70% of the deaths and nearly 80% of the injuries in Afghanistan have occurred under Obama’s watch.

(emphasis mine)

New Hampshire Democrats are on the hook for this…and not just that pair of Hypocrat harpies running for congress, Carol-Ann-Shea-McKluster.
