Glamour magazine did an interview of Jen O’Malley Dillon, Joe Biden’s campaign manager. Normally Glamour isn’t where we go for news but it is more insightful these days than CNN. Anyway, Biden’s campaign manager was the talk of Twitter yesterday for her comments in Glamour.

Republican Leaders Protect ‘Dumb’ AccuVote Machines Controlled By Dominion
Relying on Dominion to tally New Hampshire’s votes is like trusting Bernie Madoff with our retirement funds. Ignoring what is possibly the greatest crime ever perpetrated against American citizens’ sacred right to vote…is unfathomable.
Maskless NH Republican Organization Day Problem Solved: Photoshop in Tables and a Waitress
Covidism’s high clerics are in high dudgeon. Speaker Hinch died with COVID (at the very least), so it has to be the Republican’s fault. Since masks and mask mandates have shown no ability to stop the spread of anything but maskholes, I beg to differ, but let’s pretend they work the way the faithful claim.
What the Hell Happened in NH?
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 get another chance.
Data Point – US House Races.
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.
A Little Red State with a Big Blue Crown – Chapter 1
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?
So, trying to pull a “Doug Scamman” in the US House?
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.
Data Point: Status of US House Races
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:
Watermarked Ballots: If This Is Real – What’s Holding Them Back?
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.
Final Results: NH Republicans Flip the Executive Council – Take 4 of 5 Seats
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.
“Winning Is Only a Precursor – What You Do Afterwards Is More Important”
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.
Is Merrimack a Bellewether for NH? Dems Rule Fed Races GOP Owns Local Races
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?
Donald Trump Was Always My First Choice
THERE THEY GO AGAIN! Some Union Leader columnists with their Trump-hating rhetoric are still trying to sabotage ethical journalism with their twisted disinformation about President Donald Trump and Republicans in general.
Event for Registered Republicans and Liberty-Loving Undeclareds
Close to the upcoming General Election on Nov. 3, Gilford and Meredith voters will have an opportunity to meet and greet many of the Republican candidates running in the Lakes Region at a house party at my home on Sunday, October 25, from 1 p.m to 5 p.m.
DISQUS Doodlings – Just Putting Republicans into Those Seats is Insufficient
Sigh. Once again, we see an instance of what I call the Republican Republicans’ for the Sake of the Republican Party (“RRftSofRP”). I don’t consider myself the brightest bulb in the lot; just an ordinary schlub from Central New Hampsha.
Bolduc vs. Messner – This Race is About Protecting the U.S. Senate, not Just Winning in NH
What if Bolduc is the more principled conservative and would be a better and more consistent vote in the U.S. Senate? Recently, several articles have talked about Bolduc’s career, his time of service to our country, his advocacy for our veterans, and his efforts to bring out the issues of PTSD.
Lifelong Democrat Jack Brewer Supports Donald Trump for President
Another great story from the Republican convention. A former NFL player, a black man who says he knows what racism looks like, support President Trump. Jack Brewer takes five minutes to tell us about his encounters with skinheads and testifying for a friend who killed one in self-defense.
The Tale of Two Conventions “One angry and miserable, the other optimistic and grateful”
The Democrats Zoom convention was almost as bad as their House impeachment. Trump’s numbers improved during both, a bit more during the House Circus than the Zoom circus. Not a good sign for a party that says it can lead a Nation that likes it less every time it does anything on a big stage.
If the NH-GOP Ever Wants to Win Again … It Needs to Start by Admitting It Has Lost.
I recently read an excellent article by Ned Ryun, which I think is “spot on” for the NH-GOP. Its premise: … It’s time for a scrappy New Right to be built with an insurgency approach: we must accept that we are not in power, that we do not control the institutions, and that it’s time … Read more
Trump-Backed Primary Challenger Defeats Jeff Sessions for Shot at US Senate Seat
Longtime US Senator from Alabama and former Trump AG Jeff Sessions wanted to go back to the Senate. Mr. Trump, unhappy with his performance as AG, backed a challenger. Yesterday that guy, Auburn University’s head football coach Tommy Tuberville, won that primary.
