US Senate candidate Jim Bender was back on New Hampshire Taxpayer Radio last night for a continuation of our interview. Despite invitations and overtures he has (so far) been the only US Senate candidate to take us up on the offer. Could he be the only one who sees value in connecting with the grass roots listeners and anti-tax advocates who listen to our program or download the podcasts every week? We've had congressman, governors, and candidates for same, and plenty of presidential hopefuls on the program in past years.
I bet it's those darn staffers. They just don't realize that value.

 The Revolving door is the millwork of connected Political insiders in Washington. These are the people that keep tax dollars flowing into the metastasizing tumor of big government, and through the veins of the groups that use the revolving door to feed their own wealth and influence. It is a fiscally incestuous relationship between power brokers who wander in and out of government; from lobbyists, to PR firms, to bureaucrats to Industry leade

Congressional District 2 candidate Bob Giuda was our guest in the second hour of New Hampshire Tax payer Radio last night. Bob is former military, worked in the FBI, and is presently a commercial Pilot flying a 777 on international flights for American Airlines.
Bob has a excellent grasp of the issues, domestic and foreign, and does a great job of articulating what his priorities are. I encourage you to check out his interview here.

Experience matters. And it is painfully obvious, yet again, that the B team is running the show. As proof we have the Obama release of an 11 page outline with pointers to the massive Senate bill, with what could be an even higher price tag, just days before the so-called bipartisan confab. In short, Mr. Obama invited the republicans into the policy kitchen, told them they’d have an opportunity to work with him to develop a menu of options, then showed them what they are serving.

Mr. Bass, now candidate Bass, has more to answer for than his Blue Dog Republican record. He needs to explain why his species of Bass only swims upstream when irresistible political opportunities present themselves. He needs to justify why the alluring siren song of the open congressional seat that used to lovingly cradle his backside is the only thing that’s called him out of safer waters?

For those considering a limited government approach to their Congressional district 2 candidates, a short trip across the internet, I like to call it Bass Fishing in this instance, can be very revealing.
But before I share the results, let me preface by saying this. This is about Charlie Bass’ actual voting record, not Charlie Bass. And I think the Record speaks for itself.

Republicans continue make impressive showings in special elections taking both Sullivan district 2 and Rockingham 8 House races by significant margins.
Wyler takes Rockingham 8 with 85% of the vote: 633 to 106
Cunningham wins Sullivan 2 with 66%: 617 to 314
And over in the district 16 republican Senate Primary Boutin beats Pfaff with 67% of the vote, 1690 to 848.
I believe these are the final tallies.

Erik Erikson does a fine job of articulating the relationship between Republicans and conservatives. You can read it all here, but this is the relevant conclusion.
we have a lot of people out there who call themselves conservatives who are not defined by their conservatism. Many Republicans who have conservative instincts, still put their party first.

Ken Wyler dispatched a disinterested opponent in the GOP Rockingham 8 primary winning 91% of the vote. Rumor has it that George Melvin, the supposed GOP challenger, didn't even bother to go out and vote for himself.
That's kind of sad.

Richard Ashooh is pondering a run at Congressional district One. And at first glance he looks good on paper but there is some potential baggage. His association with One Vote08 back in 2007/2008 and the One Campaign that drove it, is a problematic smudge on an otherwise impressive resume.

Hot air reports that the NY-23 election was never certified. Hoffman actually won a county called earlier for Owens. At his point Hoffman is only 3000 votes behind Owens with 10,200 absentee ballots still to be counted. A majority of those ballots will come from military personnel.
Fans of the Florida recount will recall (or not depending on how bent they are by that outcome) that Al Gore's first volley was to send his lawyers to try and decertify all the military absentee ballots after he failed to win a state the media called for him early. Military personnel vote for Republicans on a 7-1 or 8-1 ratio.

Senator John Cornyn, Chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee has made a public statement. The NRSC will not be giving money to Charlie Crist in the Republican Primary with Marco Rubio.
Mission Accomplished.
Now if we can just get the NRCC to play along. No word yet on whether they get it. The citizens in the district pick primary winners, not national committees with deep pockets that use their influence to sway local committees.
