Early Turnout in Merrimack…

I hit the polls early this morning, arriving at 7:15, and the traffic in and out was steady, even brisk. No long lines, and the presentation of ID posed no problems.

I think turnout will be exceptional for a primary.

I guess the the next question is…who do I think is going to win?

Endorsements – Hillsborough 21 (Merrimack)

The town of Merrimack (Hillsborough District 21) has been my home for 17 years. And this year Merrimack (still) has eight house seats but ten Republican candidates running to fill them. As a Conservative I feel compelled to select the eight who I feel will best represent the New Hampshire Republican Platform and the interest of my town and State as I view them.

So I’m no different than the rest of you, except that I may be paying a little bit more attention (maybe), I vote principle before party–though I will not bite off my own nose to spite my face, and my soap-box…well, it is just a little bit big bigger than that of the average voter.

So these are my personal endorsements for Hills-21, though I can assure you that my A-Team picks are all GranitGrok Worthy.
