Seacoast Republican Women – Questions 1 – 11

As I said here, everyone got their own question and therefore, no "piling on" for answers.  Sure, they got the chance to figure out their answers a couple of days ahead of time as Moderator Nancy Stiles said at the beginning.  Personally, I wish the questions had just been sprung on them rather than the chance to wordsmith / memorize / and deliver.  Still, it was easy to figure out, for me, who has said similar stuff in the past (and not) and who spoke as they normally would (or didn’t).

Your mileage will vary, especially if you do NOT search the ‘Grok for past performances – the ENTIRE reason why I am spending so much time doing these videos and traveling all over the State.  Effectively:

I record (w/out comment) – YOU watch, YOU decide.

And decide based on information rather than only "Feelings" (nice for a song, not for elections).

I do want to say "THANKS" to Diane Bitter of the Seacoast Republican Women who invited the ‘Grok!

Question 1: Frank, the 2010 Census results will be  reported in 2011 and the redistricting process will follow.  what changes do you anticipate for NH?

A wee bit of doggeral – Lynch style

Steve has been doing yeoman’s work on the "Lynch grabs for the gay Brass ring" story for a few months now – from a list that Steve put together:

and has been showing for a while that Lynch is definitely earning the moniker of "Lynch Lied" (you know, they oughta make a website about that – Oh Yeah, they DID!)

Anyways, I wrote the below (With the normal apologies to actual poets everywhere) after I received a Press Release (below) lauding the fact that the Old Media is finally starting to pick up on what Steve has been saying for a while – and it looks like NH Democrat John "Do Nuttin’" Lynch is doubling down:

Where, oh where, has Gov Lynch been?
Holding out, his wee cup of tin?

Rattle and Shake, rattle and roll
Gone to collect his share of gay dole…

What did he mumble, what did he bray,
all those whispers now, to keep voters at bay?

Heaven may know, the speech that he gave
but voters don’t, those nattering knaves!

The Media, the media, the watch dogs for us
as far as I see, they’re sleeping – in dog house!

Press Release

Concord Monitor ‘breaks’ an already reported story

The new media reported last month of Governor Lynch’s secret meeting with prominent out-of-state donors

Portsmouth, July 12, 2010:  A story that appeared in the July 10th Concord Monitor has been mischaracterized as fresh news.  In fact, the story in question was reported by numerous sources last month [and started in June  -Skip]. The Concord Monitored merely jumped on an already crowded media bandwagon in reporting that a secret behind closed- door meeting was held in May of 2010, between prominent out-of-state donors and New Hampshire Governor John Lynch.

“I am glad to have company in the reporting of this story, but the question begs to be asked – ‘where have you been?’ – stated Jeff Chidester, host of the New Hampshire Perspective radio show, who…

We’ll Have A Gay Old Time

It should be common knowledge that Governor Lynch attended a secret gay-donor confab in Chicago back in May.  But no one was supposed to know.  I got wind of it when I received an article from the Washington Blade questioning the secrecy. (A repost of that blog can be found here)  Only two months later, it is finally showing up locally at the Keene Sentinel.

Of course the Sentinel seemed more concerned with the group and our governor’s evolution on the issue; his shift from what they call ambivalence to outward embrace of gay marriage.  But why not report this meaningful embrace back in May when it happened?  It seems like he could have used a lift after that beating he took from the National Organization for Marriage.  Was it too secret an embrace?  So secret that the no one wanted it known?  Was Governor Lynch afraid to come out of the gay donor closet?

He was, and for good reason.
