GOP to hold ‘positive look forward meeting’
By Brian Lawson, PolitickerNH.com ReporterTwo Republican consultants and the mayor of the largest city in New Hampshire have organized an invitation-only meeting for Granite State Republicans to get together and discuss ways to "move forward to 2010," PolitickerNH.com has learned.
The meeting, being billed as a "Working Meeting: A Positive Look Forward," is being organized by Jim Merrill, Neil Levesque and Manchester Mayor Frank Guinta. It is scheduled to take place on December 15th at Saint Anselm College's New Hampshire Institute of Politics.
"This event is being organized as working meeting to discuss strategies that we as Republicans can use to move forward to 2010," and e-mail to New Hampshire Republicans read. "The meeting is meant to be inclusive, provide information, and increase communication within our network of Republican friends in the state."
The meeting will feature speeches from Guinta, U.S. Sen. Judd Gregg (R-Rye), New Hampshire Republican Chairman Fergus Cullen, former Gov. John H. Sununu and former congressional candidate Jennifer Horn (R-Nashua).
The group also hopes that attendees will be able to break into smaller groups to work together throughout the year.
The event is free but is not open to the public.
"This event is not open to the public and the organizers reserve the right to limit admission," the e-mail reads.

Quote of the Day
“In this era of crisis, it is important that all Americans step up in service to our country. In these next five years, the leading national issues will surely be the creation of new jobs, the economy, finance and financial regulation, energy, the environment, infrastructure and foreign policy,” Bestani said in a press release. “I have been privileged to have had a thirty-five year career which has given me high level experience in each of these complex fields. I think I would be remiss if I did not come forward and once again offer to serve our country.”

The Irony!
The NH Republicans are going to gather to peer into their navels the same day that NH's four electors will be casting their votes for Barack Obama!
Too funny!!
Horn????
Why is Horn involved in this? She is about as Republican as Paul Hodes. She is the biggest opportunist out there.
The Party now says that it
The Party now says that it wants to be inclusive, but this is an invite only event.......
Thanks for thinking of us, from those who got involved and busted butt, yet have not gotten an invite
closed to the public
No wonder the GOP is irrelevant
