Make that perennial loser. For almost as long as GraniteGrok has been open, Andy Martin has been running for something or other at the Federal level. Each time, he makes the claim about himself that he’s the most experienced candidate in the field.

2022 Senatorial Campaign – Candidate Andy Martin Is at It Again – Sticking Foot into Mouth
Perennial candidate Andy Martin is forever trying to get himself elected. He claims that he is the most experienced candidate in any race that he’s run in since I’ve been in NH. I dryly note that his “experience” is in losing as he’s never come close to winning a single election. As far back as … Read more

Its time for yet another Grok pre-primary poll. This contest is for the Republican nomination for US Senate. The primary (a week from Tuesday) winner will take on two-term incumbent Democrat, Jeanne Shaheen.

Over 300 attendees, including most major candidates for office in New Hampshire, attended the first major post-COVID GOP fundraising event this month, which happened to coincide with D-Day’s 75th-anniversary.

CNHT Picnic – Andy Martin
I have to give props to Ed Naile, Chairman of the Coalition for NH Taxpayers. Pretty much anyone that asks gets to speak to the crowd either trying to convince the activists to either vote for them (or help them!) or to advocate for their cause (and a whole lot of them coming up soon). Andy … Read more
Andy Martin 2020 for US Senate Uses Jeanne Shaheen to Attack the NHGOP
Andy Martin is a feature of New Hampshire politics. He’s always running for something (and against something). He never wins, unless by winning you mean trying to destroy other Republicans. This time he has his eye on the Senate Seat held by Democrat Jeanne Shaheen.
Facebook Doodling – more blithering from Andy Martin, the most experienced…
More blithering from Andy Martin who is running as a Republican in NH’s First Congressional District. He generally thinks he’s a big deal in the races he enters but generally ends up, in real life and in the real results, as a zero. But he’s well known by the inside-politics people and pretty much, everyone knows he’s gonna sue somebody at sometime for something. Let’s look at this first:
CNHT Taxpayer Family Reunion Picnic – Candidates for US Congress in CD-1
Candidates aplenty during the CNHT Picnic (“Old Home Day for Conservatives” – you ought to be there next year!) and with Carol SEIU-Porter retiring (just long enough to get that beefy US Congress retirement plan!), the seat is wide open. Boy, is it wide open: 6 Republicans – Michael Callis, Bruce Crochetiere, Jeffory W. Denaro, Eddie … Read more
Well, what do you know – Andy Martin mentioned us. Is it time to swoon yet?
“You are probably wondering why I’m running for [NH GOP] state chairman. I think we could almost adopt the slogan, “Vote for Andy: No One Likes Him!” The party “Establishment” probably shudders at the mention of my name. And the right-wing, pseudo-Brit Groksters think of me as a form of fertilizer, or religious nightmare or … Read more
Where I show that one can break Reagan’s 11th Commandment with impunity
Oh sure, folks have castigated the ‘Grok through the years as being “purists” with respect to “who is a good Republican” (and in our case, our “purity” comes merely from two observances: 1) do you vote in line with Constitutional values?, and 2) vote in line with the Party platform values?). We get accused of breaking Reagan’s Commandment for merely pointing out and commenting when Republicans don’t act according to Republican standards (after all, we disagree with the NH House Minority Leader Gene Chandler when, at the Belknap County Republican Committee meeting this past Wednesday when he pronounced “Any Republican that helps us regain power is a good Republican“) (and the Old Guard Establishment types were all nodding their heads and the newer Conservatives / more Liberty & Freedom types were doing facepalms) .
So, Jan 26th is the annual NH GOP meeting where the Members of the State Committee get to vote for one of two candidates, Jennifer Horn or Andrew Hemingway. I shall repeat that ALL of the ‘Grok writers have endorsed Andrew Hemingway. With pleasure and confidence.
Oh wait, there’s three people in the race for NH GOP chair. Should I have said “then there’s “Andy Martin” “? I got an email from him (being a Member). One line stuck out all by its lonesome:
One of my opponents has made outrageous personal attacks against me on the radio
Really? Why is it, then, when I see this:
It immediately gets translated to this:
