Three satellite trucks (Channel 9 from NH, NECN for New England, and MyFox out of Boston) had already set up camp and running cabling.

The volunteers, for the most part, are rather angry – not at Herman but what seems to be the media and the “dirty tricks” that seem to go along with every major campaign.

Sometimes, less is more.  Here? Now?  Nope!  We switch folks: former US Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich (R-GA) and former US Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA) take the seats formerly occupied by Buddy and Gary; the questions are also reset (and a bit mixed) Paul Wescott of WGIR (the morning show dude!) remained as the … Read more
