The “I don’t work for Scott Brown before he WAS working for Scott Brown” person that decided he was going to record a group of us that were protesting the “Scott Brown event at GONH meeting” across the street – and had a “moment” when we decided to return the favor. Here, he introduces himself to the folks at the Belknap County Republican meeting this past Wednesday:
And as a reminder:
And the last of the candidates – and again, they are running for the NH House of Representatives:
John Burt Lawrence Cheetham
JR Hoell David Murotake

And the last couple of questions made to Walt Havenstein at this past Wednesday’s Belknap County Republican Committee meeting. Also, and in keeping with the GraniteGrok policy of always putting up everything (which has been done, chopped only for the time for each topic), the complete time is after the jump (with some breaks ONLY because the camera has been starting to fail and I “stopped/started” the recording so as to not get corrupt recording files).
Question 4 Question 6
Quick Result:
The whole schmear:
Certainly, there are many more candidates than just those that have already spoken; there are plenty more to come. Vying for either the NH State Senate directly as the NH GOP nominar (they do not have a primary) or will be striving to be that after September 9th (the day of the NH Primary). Here are three – all in the same District (and obviously, in the same Primary):
Gary Daniels Dan Hynes
Maureen Mooney

More questions for Walt Havenstein, candidate for the NH GOP nomination for NH Governer, at the Belknap County Republicans meeting this past Wednesday night: Question 3 – Where do your views differ from the NH GOP or the national GOP? Question 5 – Have you taken money from Unions, and if so, which? Question 3 – Views … Read more
Dang, I THOUGHT I might be able to get these up before Steve gets the audio up. Yes, we had a late start as we couldn’t get into the building at our regular time, so our start time was 9:30am and then ran late on the other end. BUT! A good show with
The Pre-Show – we grouse a bit.

Segments 1 – 4 after the jump:
And I bet that NH State Rep Dan Itse doubts that it is this:

Regardless of what Progressives want to believe (and force upon us), that is not their Constitutional role. Find out:

After the “preliminary items of business” and the candidates that wished to make a pitch to the assembled Republicans, the next item on the agenda was the keynote speaker for the night – Walt Haverstein who is seeking the nomination (along with Andrew Hemingway) of the NH GOP to be the candidate for NH Governor. … Read more
Not only did Dr. Betsy McCaughey spend a few minutes with GraniteGrok in an exclusive interview (Steve has the audio here – eventually I’ll get the video up) but she was the Keynote Speaker at the CNHT Annual Meeting. She is ALWAYS well prepared and know how to present her points: Previous Video: CNHT 2014 Annual … Read more
After Walt Havenstein gave his talk to the Belknap County Republicans, he was willing to participate in a Question and Answer session. A few were hard questions, some not as hard. Question 1: As NH Governor, what would your response be if the Federal Government passed legislation on maximum magazine capacities? Response (in part): he … Read more
Update: this will be topmost for a while – newer posts after this one
Nice. As Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit says – punch back twice as hard. Here is the video:
Here is the background: I am a co-founding member of the NH TEA Party Coalition and I believe in the TEA Party’s three (and ONLY three regardless of what the Left, the Democrats, or the Establishment wing of the Republican Party says) Principles: Constitutional bounds for Government, Fiscal Frugality, and Free Markets.
Article bumped because WMUR’s video, posted by James Pindell**, has been taken down, and we have inserted a slice of the original video, PUBLISHED on iTunesU by Smith College. (Jump to 6 Minutes, 7 Seconds) Apparently Papa Smurf’s pick for Governor, Walt Havenstein, isn’t too bright (or, as most think, just another Establishment pick). A video … Read more
Just as in the Senatorial race, more people are in the race than who showed up this past Saturday at the CNHT Annual Picnic – in the First District, only Everett Jabour (Barrington) did not make an appearance and speak to the activist crowds. Here are the speeches by the others:
Frank Guinta Dan Innis
Brendan Kelly

What should be next up would be the Congressional Candidates in NH’s Second District – Marilinda Garcia and Gary Lambert. Unfortunately, we had a malfunction with the camera, so no video of their speeches – my apologies (its time to put it on the list for a replacement – DANG, that list keeps getting longer).
The only primary on the Republican side in the NH Executive Council District 5 race. Those that have signed up are former Exec. Councilor Dave Wheeler and his opponent, Steve Hattamer (they also were the only Exec. Council candidates that spoke):

The CNHT Annual Picnic also had time for those running for the US Senate to speak. I bet you only thought that 4 people were running for the NH GOP nomination for US Senate from NH (and give Jeanne Shaheen her retirement):
And you would be wrong. There are a lot more: Gerard Beloin, Robert D’Arcy, Miro Dziedzic, Mark W. Farnham, Bob Heghmann, Walter W. Kelly, Andy Martin. So, how many of you know much of at all of this second set of folks? How many of you Of all of these people, only Bob Heghmann, Jim Rubens, and Bob Smith showed up to speak; in alphabetical order:
Bob Heghmann Jim Rubens
Bob Smith
Did you notice who also was NOT present?
As for all of the posts from the CNHT Annual Picnic, anytime you see the word “primary”, think “Republican Primary” – again, this is Old Home Day for Conservative Activists. That said, at some point there might be a Democrat that would come to speak (and might actually get a bit more attention at the podium as someone willing to come into their version of the lion’s den). After all, Ed Naile, Chair of CNHT, is a registered Democrat!
Although a post has already been put up for the ‘Grok Endorsement for Andrew Hemingway in this race, here are both in order of speaking:
