Sununu's Successor "Chosen?" - Granite Grok

Sununu’s Successor “Chosen?”

James Pindell is reporting that Governor Sununu plans to endorse Cheshire County Republican Chair Juliana Bergeron as his replacement in what seems to be a power sharing deal that allows our former Governor to exercise the "You better choose the right person" clause from his formal letter to the party. (Which Skip went over here)

Sununu made it quite clear that he would be willing to provide assistance in the coming years but only if a "qualified" leadership team was selected.  This from a guy who is prepared to endorse his successor? That is a shot across the bow if ever there was one.

He does have loads of inside experience.  There are plenty of political connections to bring in big money.  And any state party needs money.  But if we don’t elect his hand-picked RINO-insider to the chairmanship, or a slate of leaders that meets his litmus test, he’s taking his experience, his little black book of donors, and he’s done?

What the hell happened to Live Free or Die!?  This is extortion.  It is the same kind of crap we just worked our asses off to rid ourselves of in the US House and to some degree in Concord.  It is no different than earmark bribes for votes or the Federal Government trying to coerce the state to legislate behavior so it can be rewarded with a federal grant every year.  I don’t support that coming from my government. I am not taking it from my own party.

So if the only way that our soon to be former chairman can find a spot in his heart (to help out the New Republican Party leadership) is if we elect his hand picked replacement, well thanks for the service but don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
