Grant Got Grokked

Granite Grok has endorsed Grant Bosse for the Republican primary in NH-02:
Coupled with a brevity of speech that makes us envious in getting out a maximum message (without sounding like a sound bite machine) and the ability and willingness to always be working at Internet speed has impressed us.  He lives his campaign motto of "I may be outspent but I will never be outworked" as he seems to be in all places at once.  His conservative foundation has rung a friendly bell here at the 'Grok.

Believe it or not, I think this is good and healthy news for a few reasons.

First, Grant Bosse, from my perspective on the other side of the fence, has been working harder and more creatively than the others in the CD2 GOPer derby. Secondly, he has been much more policy specific than Horn and Clegg.  And finally, Bosse seems to get New Media better than the others, which makes the Granite Grok endorsement even more appropriate, since they are the only conservative blog worth reading in New Hampshire, imho.

Obviously we're all working hard for Paul Hodes here.  But he at least deserves an opponent with whom we can all disagree on issues, which would be something of a novelty these days.  Frankly, it's a little tiresome going up against a party that's long on corruption and empty rhetoric.  Going up proudly against the other side, and winning, because we believe our ideas are better than their ideas is much more satisfying than looking out in disgust at the wreckage the GOP has wrought these last eight years.

I still think Clegg's bottomless pile of self-funding will decide this thing, but at the same time, and at the risk of being used as fodder for Horn or Clegg, I can recognize that the Grokkers made the right call here.

posts the most slimy stuff and the Admins roll around in it.

They aren't the worst, but they are sliding fast as their brand falters.

Bosse has been endorsed by smear mongers.

Well, yeah, I 'aint gonna defend that nonsense. (4.00 / 3)
And they've certainly trained their pens on me more than a few times.

My point is that every time I look around at what's going on in the conservative blogosphere in NH, I find rumor-mongering and screaming and stupidity, but on there they actually discuss issues now and then.

Blech (4.00 / 2)
While I expect Paul Hodes to beat whomever the Repbulicans nominate, weird things can happen, and a nominee Bosse could become a congressman Bosse, and I would hate to see someone from the Millerick/McGee school of Republican operatives representing New Hampshire. As I have mentioned before, he was part of the little NHGOP cadre that put together a phoney pac that was the target of an AG investigation for its activities and ended up on the recieving end of a cease and desist in 2000. And
according to an FBI report, Chuck McGee said Grant Bosse was one of the people he mentioned phone jamming to before the 2002 election.  So, blech. No, make that double blech.

Energy and persistence conquer all things.

Triple blech on this: (0.00 / 0)
according to an FBI report, Chuck McGee said Grant Bosse was one of the people he mentioned phone jamming to before the 2002 election.

Well, then, in the unlikely event he becomes the nominee, getting some clarity on this will be the first order of business.

To me, his usefulness pre-primary is in that he shows how vapid Horn's rhetoric is whenever the two of them are together in a debate.
