This is an op-ed, published in the Sept. 17, 2010 edition of the Conway Daily Sun.
The votes have been counted, the winners declared, and the primary officially over. Now we move into the concentrated madness of election season; the season we love to hate. Robo-calls, lawn sign wars, letters to the editor, ugly accusations, and underhanded deeds will be part of our lives for the next month and a half. It's better than any reality show.
(First Mahoney, then Ayotte, now Binnie. Apparently language is the new tool with which to whip up xenophobia for election season. Makes me really sad. - promoted by Dean Barker)
I just saw one of Bill Binnie's latest ads on TV.
"English is the language of America"
The money quote:
"Americans should have allegiance to one flag and have one official language."
(Key takeaways: 1) Credible polling puts Hodes within a small MoE of Ayotte. 2) As we have pointed out time and again, Palin is a drag on the NH ticket. 3) As I suspected, Bill Binnie is the stronger general election Republican candidate. Finally: you guys deserve serious props for freeping that PPP survey to get their attention that we desperately needed real polling for this race. Now go out and spread the news on this poll before the UL and WMUR predictably blanket the state media spin with UNH's higher MoEs. - promoted by Dean Barker)
It looks like Republican activists, pundits and Democratic naysayers were hanging up the banners at the Republican victory party a little too early.
The Public Policy Poll has Paul; Hodes within three points of Kelly Ayotte, five points of Bill Binnie, one point ahead of Bender and five points ahead of Ovide.

This poll is stunningly different from Rasmussen, yet still may be tilted toward Republican voters, According to the cross tabs, 45% of those responding said they voted for McCain, while 48% said they voted for Barack Obama. In the actual 2008 election, 54% of NH voters voted for Barack Obama.

Over the past six months, my opponents have constantly reminded me of how crucial this race is. Whether it's a woman's right to choose or a family's right to affordable health care - they've shown us time and time again what we all stand to lose if Kelly Ayotte, Bill Binnie, or Ovide Lamontagne wins.
(Thanks for stopping by Congressman. Only 160 days until we get to vote for you to be the next Senator from the great state of New Hampshire. - promoted by Mike Hoefer)
For 43 days, thousands of barrels of oil have been spilling into the Gulf Coast. 43 days of environmental disaster because big oil companies were given a blank check on offshore drilling with little regulation and poor oversight.
Now, with the recent failure of the "top kill" strategy, there is no end in sight to the amount of oil that is spilling into the Gulf. This spill is poisoning our waters, suffocating our plants and wildlife, and jeopardizing the health of our citizens - threatening jobs, businesses and communities along the Gulf Coast.
My thoughts and prayers are with the people and communities down on the Gulf, who are dealing day and night with the devastating aftermath of the spill.
This disaster was a warning sign. When government puts the profits of Big Oil first, when politicians listen to special interests instead of the people they are supposed to represent - then we put the safety of our workers, communities and economy at risk.
This one kinda falls in the "huh?" department. Binnie, you have to admit, is taking an unorthodox approach to his Senate campaign....
New Hampshire Candidate Appears in Massachusetts Ads
By Emily Cadei | January 13, 2010
Americans for Responsible Health Care, a brand new 527 organization affiliated with New Hampshire Republican Senate candidate William Binnie, is up with an ad boosting state Sen. Scott Brown (R) in his race against state Attorney General Martha Coakley (D) in neighboring Massachusetts.
There was a big development in the United States Senate race today, but it was one of those inside baseball developments that get overlooked.
John DiStaso had the story in the UL - Paul Collins is leaving the NH GOP to work as a senior strategist for Republican candidate Bill Binnie.

This has the potential to be lost in the shuffle, due to the worshipping interview that Laura Ingram had with Ovide Lamontagne. But the Collins story is a lot bigger. Why?
