2012 General Court Poll or Bully O throws enough sh*t at the wall, something might stick...

This is how the current House leadership seems to operate. I was speaking with a long time habitue of NH house doings, a moderate R friend who is a Lobbyist for some large concerns in telecom. His clients by the way wish that RTW etc would go away...he tells me they don't want the State in between them and their employee negotiations. Sensible. So I suggest a bet...what will happen to the current balance of 104-296(is that it?)in next November's elections...
He says Democrats should pick up 50...whaddya think ? I answered 100, and he said every time they (R's)do something stupid like this(HB-1645 hearing) they lose another 5...so what do you think?Take the poll ...it's free!!!

pls take the poll n/t (0.00 / 0)


note to close readers: this might be sarcastic so think twice before reading to candidates for use in their attacks on each other

How much pull will Gingrich have down-ticket? n/t (0.00 / 0)


Woulda... (4.00 / 2)
I would have voted 250 D - 150 R, but I think gerrymandering will have enough effect it'll be closer to an even split. My personal projection on how that goes is that the Republican plan gets challenged in court and thrown out, but early enough that they have time to do it again, and on the second go-round they put together a map that's merely Republican-slanted rather than downright illegal. My backup projection is that the initial plan gets thrown out, and Bully O'Brien refuses to learn from the experience and produces another equally-illegal map which is then thrown out and a fair map produced by the courts, or that he botches the process enough as to not successfully produce a second map at all.

Only the left protects anyone's rights.

Past tense of finagling (4.00 / 2)
is Finneran.

November 2012
Hope for a return to sanity.
