So … the Chris I am referring to is NOT our narcissist Sun-King Chris Sununu. It is Chris Ager who wants to be the next captain of the Titanic … er, sorry, the Chairman of the New Hampshire GOP.

Someone Else Now A Solid Second For NH-GOP Chairman
What a difference five days makes. Last tuesday we reported on a poll running at the political fiction section of the NH Blogosphere (also known as NH Journal), in which the establishment candidate for NH-GOP chairman, Jennifer Horn was running in third place behind Andrew Hemingway and ‘Someone Else.’
A few hours later we updated that story with a report of an alert on Horn’s Facebook page about the poll that had pushed her into second but that surge seems to have vanished. ‘Someone Else’ is now leading Jen Horn by 11 points.
Jennifer Horn – Is She Wishing She was “Someone Else?” (Updated and Bumped)
Well, ain’t this sweet?
NH Journal, you remember them, Shawn Millerick, Pat Hynes…they specialize in political fiction. Well, I guess they had a poll asking who should be the next Chair of the NHGOP.
The NH Journal Poll has the following results:
Who should be the next Chair of the NHGOP?
Andrew Hemingway (59%)
Someone else (21%)
Jennifer Horn (20%)
So does the Candidate NH Journal and the Establishment GOP are pimping for, Jennifer Horn, wish she was “someone else” about now? At least that way she’d be in second place in the race for Chairman instead of last.
NH Journal – I Have A Question
Pat Hynse flunky and NH Journal editor Shawn Millerick went to bat for the progressive (r)epublican establishment the other day by fabricating a secret meeting, with a select guest list, for the purpose of agitating the voting members to support the anointed NHGOP chairman of choice, Jennifer Horn–because hey, we have to come together and … Read more
With This Bunch Failure Is Always An Option
I’m torn between thinking this is just sad or that it’s just funny. Maybe ironic is a better word? First, the NHGOP establishment power brokers (who forced Jack Kimball out) just cleared the field to make sure that the preferred, groomed, in-debted (and in debt) to them, moderate-insider was the only candidate left running for the NHGOP chairmanship.
Jack Kimball Wins
Most everyone will know by now that the GOP convention was a rousing affair, very goodhearted and unifying overall, and that Jack Kimball is the New Party Chairman.
Bend It For The Benjamins
As a follow up to this, yesterday or maybe the day before, the NH Journal (NHJ), New Hampshire’s prominent internet news source if the news is whatever Hynes communications is being paid to call news, decided to float a lie called pin the conservative blogger to Jack Kimball. Someone the NH Journal staff knew would stir the pot was fingered as Kimball’s communications director if he won the job as GOP State party chairman, even though no one–including Kimball and the blogger–knew anything about it until after the digital ink was dry.
The goal for Hynes and Millerick, (owner and editor respectively at NHJ) appear to have been to send the RINO’s into a mad stampede. RINO’s stampede easy so it worked. Some RINO’s were so miffed, and wanting so badly for just such a story to jump on, they picked up the lie and ran with it. (Just like a progressive if that’s not too provocative a statement to make.)
There was a bit of damage control but once it’s out there, it is out there, no different than when CNN or MSNBC does it. But the story did not end there.
How To Know You Have A Winner
You can just tell when you have a winner. It becomes more important for your opponents to smear your candidate than to promote theirs. It’s all about scare tactics. The noise machine. The echo chamber. Creating a narrative. And the media and the career party folks all seem like they are on the same side frantically offering doomsday scenarios.
Unite Behind What?
As for “bringing the party together,” it is not a notion in a vacuum nor desirable if the product moves us in the wrong direction. Unity, more often than not, is the product of a force of nature whose clarity about the goal or mission is so clear that people gather round to listen and then feel compelled to act. Julianna Bergeron may be faithful and competent from the perspective of a party insider, but so is a good accountant. That does not make them capable of leading and inspiring a movement.
What’s In Your Narrative?
Plenty of people who think they are quite attuned to the echo chamber are spending a good deal of time doing the progressives and RINO’s dirty work. These are people on the right, so-called insiders who get how the game is played. Yet again (and again) I find the chorus repeating the message which the left and the media have ingrained in them…every time they hear the bell ring.
"Sarah Palin." Ding!
Independents will never vote for her. Her resignation as governor is a deal breaker. You can’t bring social issues into the debate or Republican’s lose the center, she is stupid, inexperienced, too provocative, and on and on and on.
This is the message of the establishment elites on both sides. It is the growl of a cornered animal that fears for its life. A life dependent on the growth and power of government. And it has been picked up and repeated by people who should know better.
And Let Me Add This…
Let me add this to Skips post just a short scroll below this one. State GOP candidate for Chairman Juliana Bergeron’s false grass roots mantle (and it is false) is not just an opportunistic stab at tapping populist enthusiasm, she could find herself left behind should she win by simply tilting at the TEA parties windmills.
