We ARE in the silly time of an election year. While normal people are still doing the “summer things”, candidates are appealing to both the politically obsessed (who have been watching for a while) and those that are starting to look at both the Primary and General elections and asking “Whom”? Thus, the Republican candidates are “making the rounds” in trying to seal the deals on the “Volunteer” election (persuading people to work for THEM instead of someone else) is going to all kinds of meet n’ greets, house gatherings, and going after any NH GOP Committee that would have them. I have to hand it to them for the determination part – often driving for hours for just a few minutes in front of a crowd.
Thad Riley is looking to be the NH GOP nominee for NH Governor instead of Chris Sununu and was trying hard to convince the BCRC attendees that he is The One (yes, a Highlander reference)
Heh! Not only did he have to face the BRCR folks Wednesday, but he was also sufficiently brave to come to his GrokGauntlet the next evening.
