Well, at this point its their lobbyist, but still.  Today’s Granite Status has the scoop of an ultra secret DC fundraiser that Paul Hodes will be attending soon.  So secret that the address of the fundraiser will only be given out when you pony up the money to attend.  Now! Hampshire did some digging and [...]

When all was said and done (depending on which of four recorded votes you look at), it wasn’t even close.  All Republicans except one (Ken Gould of Derry) stood together in repealing the nine percent campground tax this morning.
Realizing they were going to lose on a straight up or down vote, Democrats tried to table [...]

Imagine what he says about BlueHampshire!
Major kudos to New Hampshire Public Radio’s Laura Knoy for mentioning our post on the air this morning and asking Lynch why he didn’t support Granny D when they were both running on the same ticket in 2004 even though he is singing her praises now.

Apparently I am the only one who remembers the 2004 [...]

The Concord Monitor’s Primary Monitor Blog has the write up of an interview that former New York Mayor and Presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani had with the Washington Post today concerning his 2008 Presidential run.  It is an interesting look into how he sees his campaign’s treatment of the First in the Nation Primary and how, [...]
