Candidate Bestani speaks truth about “Three Promises”: …Instead, the campaign has degenerated into a game of who can put up the most signs for various events, who can put the more stickers on people’s lapels, who can give the snappiest two minute speeches, and who can make the most outrageous promises that will encourage the [...]
Pindel has posted a copy of the email that Fergus sent around to folks last night. Fergus is the 6th person currently considering a run for the GOP nomination. Good. The more the merrier. Contested primaries are healthy for political parties. Good ideas and good people (should) rise to the top. Especially in a politically [...]
Yesterday’s UL headline: “A Third Candidate Eyes Run For U.S. House Race” That headline is false. And it’s not even close. Rich Ashooh isn’t the 3rd GOP candidate “eying” a run for CD-1. He’s the 5th. For a newspaper that gets itself worked up into a frothy mess at the idea of anyone but NH [...]
Dean Barker on the health care legislation passed by the U.S. House last night: This is the single most important piece of legislation coming from the Democratic party in decades.

And I support “paying more for less” to balance our [...]
Congressional candidate Bob Bestani’s below email to Guinta campaign manager Mike Biundo – forwarded to Bestani’s supports last night – should resonate with my friends at the Union Leader editorial board. And with other editorial boards around the state. Both Mr. Guinta and Mr. Bestani are declared and legitimate candidates for the Republican nomination in [...]
John DiStaso lights the fuse. Meanwhile, “that other candidate” Bob Bestani is quietly getting good press and “that other candidate” Mike Castaldo is quietly going door-to-door in the First Congressional District. The 2010 Republican nomination in NH CD1 was, is and will remain up for grabs for some time. Remember, it’s only October of 2009.
Some open questions for NH political reporters: Frank Giunta DOES have a primary opponent, correct? And Bob Bestani, Frank’s primary opponent, DID challenge Frank to a series of town halls last May, right? Which Team Guinta IGNORED? But Guinta’s brush-off didn’t stop him for REGURGITATING NRCC talking points hitting Shea-Porter for avoiding town halls a [...]
