In the year since President Obama took office, Congress has been focused on one major issue, health care reform.  In this year, the Obama Administration has nothing to show for it besides an even more skeptical public, a fractured Democrat Party in Congress, and a whole host of bad press on provisions including the Cornhusker [...]

If President Obama is back in New Hampshire it must be Groundhog Day because the Union Leader is welcoming him back to the state with a double barreled editoral barrage, including a legandary front page editorial.
On the front page, they warn Granite Staters of the promises that the Obama Administration has already promised but failed [...]

As many of you know tomorrow, the State will hold the only public hearing tomorrow in Concord on the implementation of the rules governing the new LLC tax.  Several RedHampshire authors also spoke out on the  issue and calling for Granite Staters to speak out and be heard on this issue that will effect thousands [...]

Well, it appears the paywall that removed John DiStaso’s column from UnionLeader.com has come down.  As I’m sure you are all aware, less then 2 months ago the Union Leader announced that they would be pulling their 3 marquee political columns from their website and placing them in their dead tree and electronic editions.  The [...]

On Sunday Congressman, and US Senate hopeful, Paul Hodes had an Op Ed in the UL defending his vote for the health care bill.  (Unsurprisingly, the UL also had an editorial on the previous page refuting his Op Ed)  In today’s UL, Ovide Lamontagne took the opportunity to refute many of the claims that Hodes [...]

Conservative activist Karen Testerman said in a blast e-mail message that she will expolore a run for governor. I am not sure if she really means to “explore” or if it is a formality.

The Union Leader’s Drew Cline goes to his blog and writes a snarky post about the state Republican Senate caucus going up on Twitter.  He asks:
Could they look any more like old guys trying to act hip?
Given that the Union Leader just went back to the 1980s with their print-only solution for political columns, maybe [...]

Yesterday, NH political observers, from in state and out of state, awoke to find their usual Thursday ritual of reading John DiStaso’s influential Granite Status column would no longer be read online.  In a stunning move, the UL has decided to pull their three all star political reporters, Tom Fahey, Scott Brooks, and the “Dean” [...]

The Union Leader posts a web banner this morning announcing that they will publish their three influential political columns, John DiStaso’s “Granite Status”, Scott Brooks’ “City Hall”, and Tom Fahey’s “Under the State House Dome” only in their print edition from now on. Political junkies will no longer be able to read the must-read columns online Thursday and Sunday mornings, and blogs as this one will no longer be able to link to interesting tidbits from the columns.

In today’s UL Kathy Sullivan continued to spew her revisionist history and hatred that has poisioned the NHDP.  This time its how Gov. John H Sununu is “bitter” for Sen. John E. Sununu’s loss to Shaheen in November.  Well, from the tone of this Op Ed it is Kathy who is bitter and on the [...]
