NEW HAMPSHIRE-With three weeks to go, things are really heating up in this race.  The biggest fur is flying between the Ayotte and Binnie camps, with both candidates running attack ads on radio and TV against each other.  The latest from Binnie attacks Ayotte’s record as Attorney General from the right…….on illegal immigration and guns…….two of the issues I have highlighted in the past on | Read More »

Authenticity in a Candidate—What is the measure of a candidate’s true political compass? I would guess that the majority of people who voted for Barack Obama in 2008 did so on the IMAGE of who candidate Obama was, and chose to ignore the details of his public record. They got what they deserved. Unfortunately, the rest of us who didn’t vote for him got screwed | Read More »

OK all you Kool Aid drinking Kelly Ayotte fans who only want to see her beat Bill Binnie (who I dislike) , check out what the Editor of our state’s largest newspaper had to say today ( Manchester Union Leader ): http://www.theunionleader.com/article.aspx?headline=Joseph+W.+McQuaid%3A+Palin’s+new+pal&articleId=68ebf937-f17c-4d62-b9be-f351f895a8a8.  Does this sound like a ringing endorsement of either Palin or Ayotte?  Who do you think he might be leaning towards endorsing in the primary?  | Read More »

My last post introduced you to Ovide’s Oath (http://www.redstate.com/travelkingnh/2010/07/17/new-hampshire-senate-race-lets-take-a-look-at-ovides-oath/) a 15 point outline by candidate Ovide Lamontgane, my conservative choice for filling the soon to be vacant US Senate in the true RED State of New Hampshire.  After attending a rally for Ovide this past Saturday, put on by retired US Senator Gordon Humphrey (http://granitegrok.com/blog/2010/07/yesterdays_liberty_rally_at_senator_gord.html) this is a perfect time to start articulating why Ovide | Read More »

After reading this site for the better part of the last year……..and the posts relating to the New Hampshire GOP US Senate race, I decided that it is time for me to say my piece.  I admit to being a “classic” New Hampshire conservative in the Ronald Regan or compassionate conservative tradition.  I dislike labels, but I think it helps frame me for the discussion.  | Read More »
