Last nite, GraniteGrok went on board the M/S Mt. Washington that plies the waters of Lake Winnipesaukee as it was the night of the annual Belknap County Republican "First in the Nation" Cruise. The boat was packed with political junkies, operatives, elected officials, and of course, a number of Presidential candidates on the Republican side of the aisle. A fine time was put together by Belknap County Republican Chair, Alan Glassman!
This year, I didn’t get around to yak with many people, but did try to get most of the main speakers on the main deck area:
- US Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-NH)
- Jack Kimball, NH GOP Chair
- NH Speaker of the House, Bill O’Brien
- former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson
- former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman
- former Louisiana Governor (and Congressman) Buddy Roemer
I’ll be putting up the videos the rest of the afternoon and evening; this first one is Kelly Ayotte addressing the crowd before the Washington left the docks in Laconia, NH.:
