Democrat National Committee – FITN Deniers!

At least as far as the NH Democrat Party is concerned.  Steve and I had talked a bit about this on the phone early last evening; his post covers most of our conversation high points (and more) before the Democrat National Committee Rules Committee voted to adopt the 1) South Carolina, 2) + 3) NH … Read more

Congressional Candidate Steve Negron Supports the Electoral College!

Democrat leadership would like to abolish the Electoral College and instead, elect the president with a National Popular Vote.  That change would have severe negative consequences for our Constitutional Republic and would cost NH dearly – as our state (and many other states) would become insignificant in subsequent presidential elections.  This would lead to future … Read more

2012 Presidential Primary – NH First in the Nation Primary – Live Chat!

Shane Vander Hart of Iowa’s Caffeinated Thoughts and the Groksters will be chatting live as the poll returns start coming in here in NH starting at about 7pm (at least, that’s the estimated time). Newer posts will be posted after this one during our CHAT – then this will be rolled downward.

Two days before NH’s First in the Nation Primary, here’s why I think the Iowa Caucus matters

I totally forgot to post this – my guest post scribblings that Shane requested and posted over at Caffeinated Thoughts on why I thought that the Iowa Caucus mattered here in NH right after it was over.  I will tell you, based on the Press reaction last night to Rick Santorum (uploading the video now, will post shortly), Iowa’s results do matter here in NH:

We saw a wide range of nuances within a fairly narrow band stances which brought in either hoots or jeers from the stands with some flag waving, some huzzahs, and not a few raspberries thrown about. A couple more left after the general shoot around before the the Big Show started; a few of the lessors kept circling the court waiting to be asked to play (but never got the nod – and one finally went to another game).

Tuesday night, the opening buzzer to that Big Show sounded and it was a dash to the hoop – politicians looking to score big. Layups, gimmes, hooks, jump shots and three pointers. And yes, a couple of players got stuffed as they went for what they thought would have been a slam dunk on their home court. And like what happens in hockey, a game broke out during the fight. And when it was over, two winners, a tie, and a couple also rans. And one self-ejection.
