星期五 [ 2010-5-28 9:26:02 | watches2010 ] Is this an all-new Sununu Rifts, feuds and primary wars be damned - John Sununu the elder says Republicans are going to be "a unified party going forward." He'll make sure, he says, "with the warmth and charm of my personality," laughing up a storm. As a "benevolent dictator," perhaps? "Oh-ho, you heard about that!" Sununu laughed. ("Benevolent dictator," according to politickernh.com, is how the former governor jokingly characterized his new role last week when meeting with the Belknap County Republicans.) Suffice it to say, dictator or charmer, the 69-year-old former governor sounds like he's having a grand old time as he campaigns to be chairman of the Grand Old Party. (So far, says incumbent chairman Fergus Cullen, who is stepping aside to make way for Sununu, there are no other candidates.) In his travels around the state, Sununu said, he's seen two things: a warm reception, and people who are "a little bit angry at not having had the success at the election polls that they think the Republican Party deserves." His analysis of why the Democrats have been winning goes like this: For "the last 12 years, the Democrats have been very smart at winning elections and very bad . . . at governing and managing the state," Sununu said. "They take the Pledge that has appealed to people who want small government and efficient government, and then they promise everything to everybody." He's focused, he said, on the 2010 election, with U.S. Sen. Judd Gregg topping the ticket, and about winning the Legislature back to the Republican column. He's figured out how much money they need to raise (but he's not telling). In case you're one of those who believes that the elder Sununu is going after Gov. John Lynch so that his son, outgoing U.S. Sen. John E. Sununu, can links of london charms have a softer target in a possible run for governor in '10, Sununu will set you straight. "Absolutely not. Absolutely not," the elder Sununu says. "I think the senator is going to go out to the private sector and do very well for himself." embroidered patches As for the Facebook campaign to recruit his son to chair the RNC, "I suspect that one will not work," Sununu says. But then again, he's not big on Facebook. "I'm an old internet wonk, as you know . . . but I haven't reached the point where I am comfortable exposing my soul through Facebook," he said. "I prefer traveling the internet with my clothes on." Show me the numbers Democrats have for the first time in recorded history outpaced Republicans in the tally of voter registrations in New Hampshire, according to preliminary numbers released by the Secretary of State's office. The margin is slim - 2,065 - but it was another occasion for celebration among Democrats this year. "I am extremely proud to say I am now a member of the majority party in the state of New Hampshire," former Democratic Party chairwoman Kathy Sullivan said on a conference call announcing the news. Former state senator Peter Burling joked that if he'd claimed that he'd be in the majority when he was first running in the 1980s, "they would have locked me up." The numbers aren't entirely final, said Secretary of State Bill Gardner. Some of the 954,000 tallied on the rolls are double- counted, folks who recently moved and are considered registered in two plac Other articles: http://www.pimpmyvan.com/blog.php?user=mywatches¬e=659 http://www.tgpm.com.cn/forum/Blog.asp?BlogUserName=mywatche&menu=ShowBlog&BlogID=948 浏览(141) | 回复(1)
