Special Interview

Well, I would not exactly say that this was an interview.  Sure, I had planned on asking fellow Grokster Don what his impressions were of the event but when I had freed up and found him, I had (heh!) been "pre-empted" by Jason of Reuters who was busy asking Don lots of questions – pretty … Read more

GraniteGrok went to the home of Ovide Lamontagne for the next installment of the Granite Oath PAC Presidential Series featuring Texas Governor Rick Perry.  Sean Mahoney, who ran in the last Congressional race (NH CD-1) is, like Cliff Hurst, is also supporting Rick Perry for President. Although GraniteGrok did not endorse him in his race, … Read more

GraniteGrok went to the home of Ovide Lamontagne for the next installment of the Granite Oath PAC Presidential Series featuring Texas Governor Rick Perry.  I ran into Cliff Hurst early who is a fixture in NH GOP politics and recently endorsed Gov. Rick Perry.  Being the nice guy that he is, Cliff agreed to a … Read more

On Sunday, 9/19/11, the Nashua Republicans held their annual "Steak Out" at the Crowne Plaza in Nashua, NH.  There, Andrew Brietbart and James O’Keefe were kind enough to spend a few moments with GraniteGrok before going out to talk about the cultural changes and obfuscation from the Old Media as it protects the liberal ideology:

Another event that the ‘Grok covered this weekend was the Nashua Republicans annual "Steak Out" on Sunday.  Well, I do Micro-interviews with lots of folks, and finally decided to ask fellow Grokster Steve MacDonald (as it had just been announced): What’s your opinion of President Obama’s "The Buffet Rule"?

At all of the events the ‘Grok goes to, we are always on the lookout for folks that wouldn’t mind answering a couple of questions: our micro-interviews!  Sometimes different questions, and sometimes the same – never know what’s going to be said.  This is from yesterday’s TEA Party Express’s Manchester event where I ran into … Read more

After last Thursday’s townhall, I had a question for Congressman Frank Guinta: forget the debt ceiling and avoiding default – how are we actually going to pay off this debt?  How come we have not heard the answer to that question during this debate?

At last nite’s event, I had the chance to pull Jim aside (who is also my State Senator and like Mark, a freshman legislator) and asked him as well what his impressions were on completing his first year as well as what the Senate had accomplished.

At last nite’s event, I had the opportunity to corral Mark, a freshman NH State Representative, and ask him about his impressions concerning completing his first year as well as what the Legislature had accomplished:

I have been known to describe Michele Bachmann as a "machine gun" when she speaks – facts and events come fast and furious!  Well, at RightOnline, we ran into Dr. Betsy McCaughey – former Lt. Governor of NY, Constitutional historian, and an Obamacare Law expert.  Suffice it to say, she brought a similar velocity to … Read more

Like I said here, recording by UStream was sketchy, but it seems that we got most of our interview with Michelle Malkin.  We join the session "in progress" as they say:

Monday afternoon as I was talking with a customer, TMEW walked into the study with a bemused look on her face and an envelope in her hand.  On it was Amy Gardner’s name who wished to talk about the upcoming debate to be held at St. A’s, hosted by CNN, the Union Leader, and WMUR.  … Read more

WMUR/CNN NH Presidential Debate I stationed myself at the Michelle Bachmann Debate watch party at the Puritan Backroom conference center to watch both the debate (wander over to our Twitter feed) and watch the crowd watching the debaters.  After the debate, more people came over from the debate itself as well as Michele Bachmann (and … Read more

And the last of the videos from Friday nite! See:     (photo credit: Gail Ober, Laconia Daily Sun, p 10)         I wasn’t kidding!  That is Wolfeboro behind me (I’m the one with trusty FlipCam – sorry to see that Cisco has decided to kill the line, especially with this news … Read more

Herman was kind enough to spend a few brief moments with GraniteGrok after the house event at which he spoke.  Three brief questions: TARP, The Federal Reserve, and Muslims in his cabinet (and Shariah Law):

We had the chance, before the event, to do a couple of interviews.  The first is with Andrew Hemingway, Chair of the RLCNH (Republican Liberty Caucus of NH) discussing his recent foray to "Hahved" for a TEA Party influence, special elections, and RGGI: Speaking of RGGI, here is NH Rep. Warren Groen on last week’s … Read more

GraniteGrok also caught up with Alan Glassman before the event and before he took up his official duties in being one of the official photographers of the event (a SERIOUS amateur lens guy, he has a camera that put stars into a techie like me).  However, the interview was not about this, but in his … Read more

Being that he was the host, it was only right that we get a quick interview with former Senatorial candidate and Chair of the Granite Oath PACK, Ovide Lamontagne. As with Herman, he will also be at the Americans for Prosperity event tonite – but not just as an forum member but as the honoree … Read more
