Election 2010

Contested Primaries

Submitted by Steve Mac Donald on Fri, 2010-07-30 05:53.

If you happen to have a contested Republican House Primary in your district (or maybe you don't know if you do), there's a place on-line to get a quick view of who is running. Over at a web site called New Hampshire Election Information, no affiliation with the state sites, they have a list of the contested GOP primaries and who is vying for your electoral love.

The list tells you who is new and who is not, and what the HRA ratings are for those with records. You will also see whether a canddiate has been endorsed by the RLCNH.

Fergus Cullen get's the Hat Tip for spotting this first and posting it over at Red Hampshire, but he didn't go the extra mile and get a copy of the actual invitation.

Hodes Found Someone...

...he thinks he might be able to b 'My chances of winning are actually smaller than this.' eat in the New Hampshire Senate race. Lord knows he can't beat anyone actually running. She polls better than he does, but she's not from New Hampshire, so that improves his odds a little bit. That's right, Paul Hodes is now apparently running for the Senate....against Sarah Palin.

I Stand Corrected

For the record, there is a PDF available of Sean Mahoney's individual donors at the FEC but it is not as easy to access nor review on line as any of the other FEC data for New Hampshire candidates. Perhaps I should be clearer. Out of the 19 candidates reporting receipts to the FEC in all the federal level races for New Hampshire only Wesley Michael Sonner Jr, Timothy Vanblommesteyn (Both in CD

Hodes Anoints

Submitted by Steve Mac Donald on Sun, 2010-07-25 08:34.

Back in April Paul Hodes took the original tack of reminding us that Kelly Ayotte was 'picked' by the GOP establishment. It's a common theme played up by the left so Hodes was just being a good democrat an repeating what he'd been told.

I don’t know what Ms. Ayotte, who was essentially picked by the Washington Republican establishment, thought she was going to get into when she got into the race. But it’s an active primary. New Hampshire has often confounded expectations,” he said. (emphasis mine.)

He Went To Do Good And Stayed To Do Well

Submitted by Steve Mac Donald on Tue, 2010-07-20 07:01.

Anyone know were I can find the Tea Party? The saying is that "he went to Washington to do good and stayed to do well" and the first name that popped into my mind was Charlie Bass. C-Bass epitomizes this ruling class cultural maxim. He promised you term limits then changed his mind. He became a Main Streeter, moderate fence sitters who abandoned principle for the lure of getting along in a place and a culture with a leftward tilt. And after he was ousted from office he didn't come back to New Hampshire to help the GOP or to find a way to

What John Lynch IS Good At

Submitted by Steve Mac Donald on Mon, 2010-07-19 08:03.

John Lynch with his mouth open William F. Klessons has stretched credibility to the breaking point. Who is Klessons you ask? He is Salem’s self-styled print equivalent of Keith Olbermann. A Kool-Aid stained liberal apologist and basher of all things to the right of Mussolini in the pages of the Salem Patriot, and the Observer.

Shea-Porter's Money "Don't Know Where It Came From"

Submitted by Steve Mac Donald on Sun, 2010-07-18 10:51.

Carol's Laundry Money laundering is illegal unless you are in congress. Once you are a member in good standing you earn the privelege of access to a hoard of cash accumulated by the hundreds and hundreds of congressional PAC's fed by those buying influence. It is money that comes from lobbyists, special interests, the corporate culture of business big and small, unions, fringe groups, mainstream special interests, and everyone else.

Carol...On Helping Small Business

Even as a child, Carol could not keep the train on the tracks

Carol’s good work keeps on rolling in like the smell of low tide on a salty breeze. Maybe you recall that five ream masterpiece of brevity appropriately mislabeled as health care reform? Well it came fully equipped with a manifold of other disasters buried inside, one of which was that anyone with business income »

Carol's Union Label

Submitted by Steve Mac Donald on Tue, 2010-07-13 06:37.

What do you mean "read the bill?" Carol Shea-Porter would like you to believe that she represent New Hampshire. But if you are one of the 88% of those employed in New Hampshire who are not in a union or represented by one, (and that does not mean you want or like being in the union if you are) then odds are good you have no congresswoman.

Hidey-Hodes

Submitted by Steve Mac Donald on Tue, 2010-07-06 10:52.

The Hodes campaign has made its priorities clear. I’m referring to the attack ads on Republican primary candidate Kelly Ayotte, whom they have for whatever reason anointed as the primary winner.

What does this tell us about Paul Hodes? Nothing we did not already know.

He intends to distort the facts in pursuit of political power. He will lie either by omission or just outright. He is unwilling to listen or wait for the will of the public. He is sticking to the party talking points. His campaign is so desperate that it has to go negative before he even has an opponent. He needs an ignorant uninformed electorate to win.

Swett Turns A Phrase

Submitted by Steve Mac Donald on Thu, 2010-07-01 05:33.

In a recent email to supporters Katrina Swett puts a new spin on the thousand pound gorilla in the room. The gorilla is the economy and K-Swett appears to have looked to the east for inspiration. She also spelled the word “lose” wrong. Figure out where yourself I have a blog to write.

"You Must Claim To Have Balance Daniel-san"

Submitted by Steve Mac Donald on Mon, 2010-06-28 07:32.

State Senator Maggie "the red" Hassan had a puff piece in the New Hampshire Sunday News to defend the NH democrats “balanced Budget.” We can tell right away that Ms. Hassan is going to take us on a fanciful journey because of her opening clause. “Scarce resources make for difficult budgets…” It is from this launching pad that we are taken on a magical tour into denial.

At no point does Ms. Hassan remind us that under democrat rule the process was and always has been to spend first and look for revenue later. (Book of Eaton, chapter 1 verse 1.)

1:1 'It makes sense to know how much you're spending before you decide how much money to raise.'

Bikini Burqa Bloviators

Submitted by Steve Mac Donald on Sat, 2010-06-26 07:23.

Democrats think that a bikini hula-hoop contest as part of a political fundraiser is insulting and demeaning to women. This after a private fundraiser being held for the Stephen campaign announced the addition--which the Stephen campaign refused to support, and which resulted in them refusing any money raised whether the bikinis were there or not.

Score a victory for the hypocrats.
