So Jennifer Donahue and the NHIOP are no longer:
An e-mail to her St. Anselm e-mail address came back with this response:
Jennifer Donahue has left the New Hampshire Institute of Politics to focus on political analysis, media and writing.
I actually see this as a win for Ms. Donahue, because now she can continue her dataless punditry guilt-free and detached from the Academy (she's going to be a "regular," e.g., on WMUR's Close Up). I'm sure we will continue to be graced with her work for many moons to come.
Now, I haven't talked to James prior to posting this, because I'm guessing he would try his best to get me not to go there.
But would someone tell me how he isn't a good fit in a number of ways?
Pindell's pretty much devoted the majority of his professional career to New Hampshire politics. He is unassociated with a print publication at the moment. He's young and energetic, and likely has a NH political rolodex a mile long.
I could easily envision him keeping NH Political Report up and briskly running while teaching classes at NHIOP and making it a beehive of New Hampshire political activity.
Just my two cents. (I'll be anxiously awaiting an email from him now wherein James smacks me over the head.)
Update: Some other bright lights that quickly come to mind: Dante Scala, Dean Spilliotes, John Gregg. Heck, can we get Lauren Dorgan to come back for this?
Update 2X: OK, I was wrong. James emailed me back, but no smack on the head. More like a 2X4 to the head, repeatedly. There goes my free trial period registration, I'm afraid!
