Starting next week, April 7th, we will broadcast from 11AM to 1PM– through lunch, which we hope makes it more convenient for the live listener, thus leaving a whole afternoon to savor life…
-
And– within 2 or 3 weeks, we will be streaming the program LIVE ON THE INTERNET! That way there, no matter where you are in the world, you can hear us live beyond the current central New Hampshire broadcast area, instead of waiting for the podcasts. That will allow those who currently listen to the podcasts an opportunity to phone in during the program.

In studio guests Susan Peterson, Judy Paris, and Karen Thurston. These would be some of those awesome "Moms" who conducted the "Gathering of Mothers" event in support of the troops and victory. They are the same ones outraged at last week’s "peace rally" in Concord put on by students from local public schools. As the saying goes, there is "no fury like a woman scorned." We’ll talk about the rally, an exchange with NH Peace Action leader Ann Miller, supporting the troops, and patriotism.

Jonathan Martin–On Friday Jonathan Martin, Mike Allen and Jim VandeHei had a piece in the Politico titled “Republicans Fear 2008 Meltdown.” In it they write: "Republicans across the country are warning that increasing public discontent toward President Bush, the Iraq war and the GOP brand in general threatens to send the party’s 2008 campaign planning into a tailspin." Also, A new American Research Group poll shows that former New Hampshire Gov. Jeanne Shaheen would wallop Sen. John Sununu in a rematch of the 2002 race. 44% to 34%. Liz Mair at GOP Progress asks Granite Staters to chain Shaheen to her desk at Harvard, where she’s a professor now. Pat will aski if Republicans are going to lose this seat
-
R. Emmett Tyrrell will come on to discuss his new book The Clinton Crack-Up.

Crystal Deuker of ThinkCondi.net called me the other day, quite irate at Mitt Romney for something he recently did… or didn’t do. She’ll tell us why. She’ll talk about whether or not Secretary of State Rice should run for president. In fact, you can call in and answer our
Question of the day, which is: “Should Condi Rice run for president?”
Call in at 603-527-1490 and let us know what you think (even if you’re not in the listening area, we’d love to hear from you.) Crystal will be on at 3:30 EST.
As you can see, there’s always a great lineup here on MTNP. We are as anxious to get the livestreaming up and running as those of you beyond the broadcast area are to listen and participate live. Remember— It all starts at 11AM EST starting next Saturday, April 7th.
