So, the NHGOP elects a new chairman, and in one of his first interviews with the press, he insults the Republicans who just put themselves forward to run for office. Yup, this is what John H. said to the Keene Sentinel in an interview published today:
"We have not been able to field the best candidates in a number of races - House races, state Senate races and across the board."
Okay, I will agree that their recent gubernatorial candidates have been fairly bad - but he is not referring specifically to them. He is referring to their House and State Senate candidates. |
| Now, I don't know if he is referring to the NH legislative house candidates, or the congressional candidates, when he refers to House, but either way, that is pretty nasty of the Republican chair. If he means the congressional candidates, then he is insulting both the 2008 nominees, Jennifer Horn and Jeb Bradley, and, I think, the people who lost the primaries, like Johnny Stephen, Grant Bosse and Bob Clegg.
If he means the NH legislative candidates, then he is referring to people like, occasional poster and NHAC leader Mike Biundo, and his excutive director and sockpuppet, Tammy Simmons, both of whom ran and lost in Manchester. And what about poor Sandra Reeves, a long time Republican state rep from Manchester's Ward 1, who went down to defeat? What does Sununu have against her?
I mean, some of these state rep candidates may not have been excellent, but sheesh, Mr. Chairman, these people are the base of your party, the loyalists who put themselves out there for the GOP because they believe in your party's principles - and to you they are what? Chopped liver?
And what about those state senate candidates? Like Eaton and Laflamme?
He said, "across the board", so I guess that includes Republican candidates like former Merrimack County attorney St. Hillaire and Russell Prescott who lost to Bev Hollingworth. And all those county candidates.
Hundreds of Republicans who signed up and ran, who knocked on doors, made phone calls, stuffed envelopes, all in a serious effort to try to win elective office on behalf of the New Hampshire Republican Party. Guess what, guys and gals? Your new chairman just dis'd you - big time. How happy does that make you?
Wait a minute - he did say "across the board", didn't he. Does that mean - yes, I guess it does.
John H. Sununu just insulted his own son.
