Keen Sentinel article (h/t Blue Hampshire for highlighting): Only Timothy Robertson, a state representative from Keene, took aim at a politician from his own party. Robertson is challenging incumbent three-term Gov. Democrat John D. Lynch for the corner office in the Statehouse, though he’s said it’s mainly for the opportunity to get his views heard [...]
Mr. Governor, I agree with Fergus Cullen. You owe Richard Brothers a big, public apology. Big.
Governor Lynch’s falling poll numbers don’t mean jack if the Republican Party can’t find a credible statewide candidate to run against him. Young, successful New Hampshire small business owners who are fiscally conservative and socially moderate, call your office!
Opposition to the LLC tax gathers steam. Today’s Union Leader editorial page: It is a widely accepted principle of good governance that significant changes in state tax law are aired at multiple public hearings. The point is to make sure that everyone affected by the change has the opportunity to tell public officials what the [...]
Sage political advice: Don’t tick off New Hampshire’s thousands and thousands and thousands of small business owners. Ever.

The first question is where does New Hampshire’s broader unemployment rate go between now and next summer? The second question is will one of the only two or three total Republican statewide challengers to Lynch [...]
It would be hard for a Congressional delegation (and Governor) to lash itself to the White House more than this:
New Hampshire Governor John Lynch is currently more politically vulnerable than he has been in a very long time. Maybe ever. It’s the economy/state budget, stupid. Via Sunday’s Union Leader newspaper editorial: Shortly after he had been elected to lead a nation sliding toward war, Abraham Lincoln dined with a prominent Ohio journalist who tried [...]
Well, once again, no one can accuse New Hampshire politics of being dull. Two points: 1. The blue part of purple New Hampshire is still trying to digest Democrat Governor Lynch’s decision to replace Gregg with another Republican (honestly, so am I, but in a far more academic way). And how the Left’s grassroots community [...]
The current bets being placed by New Hampshire’s chattering class (as near as I can tell): 1. Senator Gregg has been offered the position of Secretary of Commerce 2. Senator Gregg, with great regret, will turn Obama’s offer down. 3. However, if Senator Gregg accepts Obama’s offer, Governor Lynch will appoint a no-nonsense Democrat to [...]
