You may be riding the sugar-high of Republican’s cleaning House in New Hampshire at the State level. It’s a nice feeling. And the prattle about unity and advancing a Republican agenda (or rolling back the Democrat one) are cute. I’ll believe it when I see it. And we’d better see it because we may not …
Abstracted: Ahead of the 2020 election, Cook listed 27 races as “toss-ups,” meaning they were too close to predict one way or the other. Republicans won all 27. Despite being assured that conservatism was about to drown beneath an impending “blue wave,” Republicans won every single close race.
As I said in the prologue, numbers tell a story. While many of us scratch our heads on the split party results on the state government races versus the federal level races, we wonder why this story does not seem to make sense. Why doesn’t our hat match our jacket?
For those of you who don’t remember, Doug Scamman was a RINO who served in the NH House for 13 terms. He was Speaker of the NH House from 1986 to 1990 and 2004 to 2006. His greatest feat was to be elected to the Speaker, not by the Republicans, but essentially by the Democrats.
Not all of the races have been called at this point – 9 days after the election. At this point, RealClearPolitics has it at 219 Dems (218 is the majority) and 208 Repubs. Thus far:
I see how Dr. Steve Pieczenik and Tony Shaffer support each other (regarding the questionable blockchain marked ballot idea). Yet I fail to see anything happening that’s concrete. Until I actually do see something concrete – color me skeptical.
Democrats are working feverishly to steal a national election that, on the whole, didn’t go well for them at all. New Hampshire Dems swept up the Federal races but got their asses handed to them at the state level. Dan Feltes had the worst down-ticket impact for Democrats since John Lynch in 2010.
The headline is a quote from moi, your’s truly. And it really does matter. Most Establishment Republicans seem to hold that winning is Job 1 and Job 2 is…yeah…just…whatever. To activists or those good souls that see something wrong and want to right it, the second part IS the most important.
I’m looking at the final totals for Tuesday for Merrimack. Biden, Shaheen, and Pappas got more votes in this supposedly Republican town. Downticket, Republicans cleaned up with few exceptions. What the bleep is that all about?
Good morning, and I hope as many of us as possible will be out at the polls today, November 3rd, choosing the best possible men and women to represent us in Washington and Concord. The list here is Hollis-centric, but covers candidates of interest to greater Nashua, and further west. First of a quick checklist …
