…because it’s fairly easy to bitch slap all the spin dried nonsense that’s come out of their mouths over the last 12 months: The Republicans will (probably) pick up seats (everywhere) in 2010. But not because the Party has new ideas or new leadership. Just because the pendulum is swinging back the other way. And [...]
What Team Bass and Team Guinta are (probably) reading very closely this morning. Via Politico: “With the Republican Party on the cusp of major gains in the House next year, … one major obstacle remains: tightfisted Republican incumbents. The National Republican Congressional Committee, the key cog in helping to finance GOP campaigns, has banked less [...]
Ah, the NRCC. Doing their absolute best to fuck up local primaries absolutely everywhere. Jennifer Horn, Bob Bestani (and about 30 other people) call your office!
Am I a “squishy Republican” if I believe that the #2 national security threat to this country – second only to a terrorist getting his hands on a nuclear bomb – is the $56 trillion dollars in unfunded liabilities currently on our Federal government’s books? 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.

So, while Republicans will [...]

(UPDATED) Uh, Charlie Bass is in CD2, not CD1, as Pete claims in his fundraising email below…. Someone might want to tell Sessions and the NRCC. ——— The NRCC, not content with running just a single Congressional race in New Hampshire this cycle (Frank Guinta’s), is now raising money off of Charlie Bass’s candidacy in [...]
The narrative pops up again in this morning’s Union Leader. And, as narratives go, it’s a loser. You don’t beat Congresswoman Shea-Porter by trying to go negative on her. Polling (and a good sense of history) tell us why. The latest UNH poll (10/2/09) shows that even after Carol Shea’s “disastrous” summer: First District Congressperson [...]
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.
