Dear Club for Growth President Chris Chocola,
I wrote earlier to your ally, former Governor Sarah Palin, in regard to her success in NY's North Country and the interesting opportunities that success opens up in the great Granite State.
After I saw some rumblings of yours in Roll Call, I thought I would write you as well. How pleased I am to hear that you are already elaborating on possible plans to challenge Kelly Ayotte, of whom you say: "...it's hard to determine exactly where she is on the issues."
Well, I have some exciting news for you! Right before she decided to be a candidate for Senate, Kelly Ayotte was a touting a program that was funded by the stimulus package. And I note with interest that the support for the stimulus package is a chief reason you are thinking of going after Charlie Crist in Florida.
Luckily for you, and for New Hampshire Republicans, we have some viable, true conservative candidates in the running for this seat who were not virtually endorsed and managed from afar by John Cornyn and the NRSC.
As I wrote to Governor Palin, the fact that we are the First-in-the-Nation Primary state makes your involvement in our senate race a win-win. Work that you do here to clarify what it means to be a New Hampshire Republican in the 21st century will certainly be salubrious both to the Republican presidential candidates who will soon start visiting, and the state electorate.
In full disclosure, and as I mentioned to Governor Palin: I am not a Republican. But I believe in truth in advertising, and Kelly Ayotte's campaign to be all things to all people is unhelpful for voters who would like to know where her values and her potential future votes stand.
Thanks for your time,
me
