You cannot buy votes in NH… but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try
By Wally EdgeAfter the July FEC numbers were posted Jennifer Horn said, “It’s clear that the voters are not buying what Bob Clegg is trying to sell, so he is trying to buy the election with $250,000 of his own money. Everyone knows that you can’t buy votes in New Hampshire.”
This week’s numbers showed Horn has loaned her campaign another $135,000 bringing the total to date to $175,000.

Quote of the Day
"John H. Sununu used tactics such as bullying and ridicule to get his way. In fact, if you disagree with a Sununu, you are not only wrong, you are also stupid. It doesn't take a high IQ to realize New Hampshire has moved past this brand of politics."

I Like Bob Clegg
I've learned to like Bob Clegg -- a lot, and that's before I knew he had that kind of money. Wow.
Anyway, I've always found him to be a passionate law-maker, hard to take on, and even harder to beat on an issue. But after that fight is over -- and no matter who won -- he doesn't hold a grudge, and it's onto the next matter.
All that said, I expect and hope Paul Hodes is reelected in November. But if Bob Clegg gets the Republican nomination, it will be a battle to enjoy and appreciate for those of us who like classy politics.
No Better Reason to Vote for Someone Else
Not to be too offensive, but I can't imagine a better reason to vote for someone other than Clegg than Jim's endorsement.
