AFP/NH’s Conservative of the Year Dinner

September 26, 2018May 1, 2011 Skip

Friday night, the ‘Grok was invited by Americans for Prosperity / NH’s Exec. Directory, Corey Lewandoski to cover their Dinner honoring Ovide Lamontagne as their Conservative of the Year. Several people spoke about Ovide’s contributions including Tom Thomson (honorary Chair) and US Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC).

Note and disclosure: I thought it RATHER amusing that as hard as he tried, it took Corey a LONG time to get the event start, and who could blame him? Fill a room with hundreds of political folks, who tend to generate much "hot air" (including your’s truly, as I had brought "full kit" and was yakking with Grokster Steve and a few other folks in some ad hoc interviews), especially with political celebrities circulating about. To Corey’s plus, the event did end on time!

The evening started off with the traditional Introductory Ceremonies:

Next was Tom Thompson who gave a good talk:

After the jump was a quick AFP video and then US Senator Jim DeMint gave a really nice speech concerning Ovide:
