Obama campaign turns a loser into a winner

In sports, it’s called stealing a victory. The team that was supposed to lose finds a way to win. Barack Obama stole a victory in the presidential election. The odds were stacked heavily against him at the start of the campaign. The economy was slowly struggling back from the Great Recession with unemployment tortuously declining [...]
“Nowhere Man” Exits Stage Right
President Obama, in his speech following his glorious defeat of Romney, said he would call on Romney to work with him on problems facing our country. When he said it, it jarred me. Does Obama really think Romney is invested in the problems facing our country? It seems preposterous! This man has never shown any [...]

Let’s think about an endorsement for President with the help of three newspapers: the staunchly Republican Chicago Tribune, Mitt Romney’s “hometown” Salt Lake (Utah) Tribune, and a progressive newspaper, the New York Times. The Economy. The New York Times (10/27/12) notes, “Mr. Obama prevented another Great Depression. The economy was cratering when he took office [...]
John Sununu: Shameful. You Need To Apologize

John Sununu, you need to apologize. And you need to mean it. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/26/john-sununu-colin-powell-endorsement_n_2020735.html That kind of rhetoric — whether you call it “political analysis” or “gut instinct” or anything else — has no place in our nation's dialogue today. It's called racism. Shameful. Let's not do this in the America of the 21st Century. Let's [...]
Mitt Romney “Walks Back and Forth” on Abortion
Mitt Romney has a problem. In order to please his far-right base and gain the Republican nomination for President, he took an extreme position on abortion. He pledged to overturn the Supreme Court’s 1973 decision legalizing abortion. If President, he would do this by appointing Supreme Court justices who would reverse the decision. In [...]
It Is a good day!

Today is a good day for Demcorats: 1. Governor John Lynch will be endorsing Maggie Hassan tomorrow. Having the most popular official in the state endorse is a good thing, especially when the Republican nominee has tried to change his stripes from “I will be radically different from John Lynch” to, “I will govern like [...]

More than a year before GOP Presidential candidate Mitt Romney publicly vowed to fire Big Bird and his friendly Sesame Street crew, the New Hampshire House voted to abolish state funding for public television in New Hampshire. On February 15, 2011 the New Hampshire House of Representatives voted to pass HB 113, prohibiting the use [...]

Republican House candidate and Free State Project sympathizer Kevin Kervick has abandoned his party’s presidential nominee in favor of Libertarian Gary Johnson. The New Hampshire Libertarian Party has apparently qualified for the November general election despite Republican efforts to keep them off the ballot. The Rockingham District 30 candidate took to Patch to explain why [...]

[Taken (with permission) from the facebook page of my friend Kristin Zanotti. She wrote it as an immediate response to Romneys comments at the private fundraiser in the video posted on MotherJones.
