Buckley Wants All Candidates Included in Debates
Following a earlier statement from the New Hampshire Republicans, Democratic Chairman Ray Buckley issued the following:
"New Hampshire has a long and proud tradition of serving as a level playing field and is the one state where each candidate can be given an equal opportunity to be heard by the voters. I would strongly encourage any NH media outlet holding candidate debates or forums not to eliminate a sitting US Senator or member of Congress"

Obama Campaign Plans Massive GOTV Operation
From The Obama Campaign:
After ten months of building an unmatched organization across New Hampshire, the Obama campaign is gearing up for an unprecedented Get Out the Vote effort in the final stretch leading up to the Primary.
More than 700 town and ward captains spanning the state from Manchester to Berlin, Keene to Portsmouth, and everywhere in between have committed to working all day on Primary Day to ensure supporters in their neighborhoods get to the polls.
They will be trained, dispatched, debriefed (and fed) at more than 100 canvass staging locations, plus dozens of phone banks for areas that can’t be canvassed.
Together they will knock on hundreds of thousands of doors in the days between the January 3 Iowa Caucus and the January 8 New Hampshire Primary.
10,000 yard signs have been distributed around the state.

The campaign also unveiled a new web video outlining Senator Clinton’s priorities for the New Year. The new 31-second video, entitled “Countdown,” lays out her plan to create a new beginning for the New Year for all Americans by providing universal healthcare, bringing our troops home and fixing our broken economy. America faces big challenges today and in the coming years and it’s time for a President who will truly lead our country back to greatness.

NH GOP Wants All Major Candidates Included in Debates
New Hampshire Republican Party Chairman Fergus Cullen releases the following statement regarding primary weekend debates:
“Limiting the number of candidates who are invited to participate in debates is not consistent with the tradition of the first in the nation primary. The level playing field requires that all serious candidates be given an equal opportunity to participate – not just a select few determined by the media prior to any votes being cast.”
“Therefore, the New Hampshire Republican Party calls upon all media organizations planning pre-primary debates or forums for both parties to include all recognized major candidates in their events.”
“The New Hampshire Republican Party has notified FOX News of our position, and we are in ongoing discussions with FOX News about having as many candidates as possible participate in the forum scheduled for January 6.”

Concord Monitor To Endorse Clinton
Tomorrow The Concord Monitor will endorse Hillary Clinton.
In an excerpt the editorial board writes "Clinton's ambitious to-do list for her first few weeks in office gives us confidence that her priorities are right and that she would act swiftly to make a positive difference. She is the Monitor's choice in the Jan. 8 Democratic primary."
After calling Barack Obama "a serious candidate with sober ideas" they endorsed the New York Senator because "Clinton's unique combination of smarts, experience and toughness makes her the best choice to win the November election and truly get things done."

Did Clinton Copy Edwards?
The other day Hillary Clinton's campaign released information about their election night plans. The release sounded similar to something we've read before. The Clinton release is erily similar to the release the Edwards campaign sent out on December 13th. It appears that the Clinton campaign copied and pasted the language from the Edwards election, right down to the punctuation. Specifically they copied the billing and credentialing language.
Edwards release: Billing – The campaign will coordinate and arrange for technical installation and the costs will be billed back to your organization. The total costs will vary depending on the needs you are requesting and the number of outlets that participate. Approximate costs will be given to you as soon as details are worked out.
Clinton's release: The campaign will coordinate and arrange for technical installation and the costs will be billed back to your organization. The total costs will vary depending on the needs you are requesting and the number of outlets that participate. Approximate costs will be given to you as soon as details are finalized.

Note – we will make every effort to accommodate the number requested but cannot guarantee all credentials until details are finalized. Credentials will be picked up on-site at the credentialing table; time will be provided when finalized):
Clinton's release/website: This number includes ALL people from your outlet who will be attending.

Monitor Endorses McCain
This morning The Concord Monitor endorsed John McCain.
The Monitor wrote "McCain's willingness to break with his party on issues like climate change and immigration, his honesty and his refusal to pander make him the Monitor's choice in the Jan. 8 Republican presidential primary."
"When McCain approaches a decision, his first battle is with his own conscience. He doesn't put his finger into the political wind but runs against it if need be to do what he thinks is right," The Monitor added.
Last weekend, The Monitor published an anti-endorsement of Mitt Romney calling Romney a "phony."

From The Edwards Campaign:

“In my 97 years, I have seen many politicians come and go,” said Granny D. “Now more than ever, we need a leader who has the courage, the backbone and the integrity to stand up to the corporations and special interests in Washington, to deliver universal health care and energy independence, to fight for the middle class, and to finally bring about public financing of our elections. John Edwards is that man, and I’m proud to support him in this campaign.”

Gale Thomson Endorses Romney
From The Romney Campaign:
Today, former New Hampshire First Lady Gale Thomson announced her endorsement of Governor Mitt Romney. Mrs. Thomson is the wife of late New Hampshire Governor Meldrim Thomson Jr., who's "Ax the Tax" platform inspired future state and national candidates to take a pledge against raising taxes. She joins her son, anti-tax advocate Tom Thomson, who had previously announced his support of Governor Romney.
"Governor Romney strongly believes that through fiscally conservative policies, we can grow the economy, create better jobs and build a stronger America for future generations. He fought for those principles as Governor and he'll do the same as our nation's president. My husband always said, 'low taxes are the result of low spending,' and Mitt Romney embodies this vital conservative principle. I would encourage all Granite Staters to join me in supporting Governor Romney's campaign," said Gale Thomson.

Edwards' "Born For"
Today, 11 days before the New Hampshire primary, the John Edwards for President campaign began airing a new television spot in New Hampshire. In the ad, entitled “Born For,” Edwards tells voters that standing up to powerful interests on behalf of the middle class is the fight he was born for.
Full Transcript of “Born For” (30 seconds):
I’m John Edwards and I approve this message.
For 25 years, corporate greed has gotten its way in Washington
Destroying American jobs and the middle class -
While the establishment did nothing.
Insurance giants killed health care.
Energy giants make billions from insane gas prices.
And more jobs were lost.
As much as we like to think so, good intentions won’t change a thing.
Corporate greed won’t be stopped without a president who fights for you.
Saving the middle class will be an epic battle,
And that’s a fight I was born for.

Romney Airs Ad Attacking McCain
From The Romney Campaign:
Today, Romney for President launched its newest television ad, "Future." The ad highlights the choice Republicans will have to make when it comes to strengthening our country. Senator McCain opposed strengthening our economy through lower taxes. He has pushed legislation allowing every illegal immigrant to stay in the United States. Governor Romney took a different course. He cut taxes and spending in Massachusetts. He has consistently opposed amnesty for illegal immigrants. On election day, Republicans will have a choice between two very different records and visions for our future.
Script For "Future" (TV:30):
GOVERNOR MITT ROMNEY: "I'm Mitt Romney and I approved this message."
ANNOUNCER: "John McCain, an honorable man. But is he the right Republican for the future?
"McCain opposes repeal of the death tax, and voted against the Bush tax cuts twice.
"McCain pushed to let every illegal immigrant stay here permanently.
"Even voted to allow illegals to collect Social Security.
"And Mitt Romney? Mitt Romney cut taxes and spending as Governor.
"He opposes amnesty for illegals.
"Mitt Romney. John McCain. There is a difference."

Blue Hampshire is the most prominent Democratic blog in the state. Caulfield joins fellow Blue Hampshire co-founder Dean Barker in support of Dodd. Barker endorsed Dodd on September 5th of this year.
"You could choose those that stood back, and waited until history was on their side before they moved bold agendas forward. You could hope that their theories of change were correct," Caulfield wrote. "Or you could choose the person, who, against all odds, advanced the progressive agenda through every means at his disposal. I've seen Dodd sailing against the wind and been amazed. I can only imagine what he will do with the wind at his back."

Rudy Begins Airing "Freedom" Ad
The Rudy Giuliani Presidential Committee today announced the launch of a new television ad, entitled “Freedom.” The ad will begin airing nationally on FOX News and in Florida and New Hampshire on Friday.
Visit http://www.joinrudy2008.com to view the ad. The script is below.
Script for “Freedom”:
MAYOR GIULIANI: “Right before September 11 and months before I had read this book about the greatest generation written by Tom Brokaw.
And the book explains how brave, and how persistent, and how courageous the people were in the generation that won the second world war.
And during the day of September 11 living through the things that I saw and observed.
Immediately, when I saw people helping each other.
I saw the picture of the firefighters putting the flag up at ground zero.
I said these are the children or grandchildren or great-grandchildren of the greatest generation.
They have the same resolve. The same understanding.
When you challenge Americans, there’s no country that stands up stronger and better than the United States of America.
When you try and take something away from us like freedom, my goodness, Americans are going to be one in resisting you.
So, the Islamic terrorists would make a terrible mistake if they confuse our democracy for weakness.
Our democracy means we disagree with each other, but when you come and try and take away from us our freedom.
When you try and come here and kill our people.
We’re one and we’re going to stand up to you and we’re going to prevail.
I’m Rudy Giuliani and I approved this message.”

When you challenge Americans, there’s no country that stands up stronger and better than the United States of America.
When you try and take something away from us like freedom, my goodness, Americans are going to be one in resisting you.
So, the Islamic terrorists would make a terrible mistake if they confuse our democracy for weakness.
Our democracy means we disagree with each other, but when you come and try and take away from us our freedom.
When you try and come here and kill our people.
We’re one and we’re going to stand up to you and we’re going to prevail.
I’m Rudy Giuliani and I approved this message.”

Bayh To Campaign for Clinton
From the Clinton Campaign (the events are closed to the public):
Indiana Senator Evan Bayh will talk to undecided New Hampshire voters about Senator Hillary Clinton’s 35-year record of making change happen in stops across the Granite State Thursday. Having repeatedly won elections in a red state, Senator Bayh will also address why Hillary Clinton is the Democrat best suited to win a general election in November 2008.
Senator Bayh was first elected to the Senate in 1998. Prior to that, he served two terms as Governor of Indiana. He has worked in the Senate to strengthen national security, create more jobs through the growth of small businesses, encourage responsible fatherhood, and help families better afford college tuition, retirement, and long-term care.

Happy Festivus!
Many Christmases ago, I went to buy a doll for my son. I reached for the last one they had, but so did another man. As I rained blows upon him, I realized there had to be another way...
Happy Festivus!!
Don't forget to put-up your festivus pole, air your grievances, preform the feats of strength and wait for a festivus miracle.

Nashua Telegraph Endorses Obama
Saying "he best represents what Democrats are looking for this year: a change from the status quo, a genuine and authentic voice for hope and healing during difficult and divisive times," The Nashua Telegraph endorsed Barack Obama.
"What's lacking is inspired leadership that can speak directly to the people over the heads of the partisan politicians and craft a national consensus not seen in decades," The Telegraph added.

In the new 60-second spot, Steve Walter, a registered Republican from Londonderry , discusses his support for Senator Clinton.

Following are the script for the ad.
Steve Walter:
My son Alex is eleven years old. You know, if you know him he’s a great kid, he’s a super athlete and extremely bright. But he also struggles with a chronic disease - Type 1 Diabetes.
Stem cell research is really our hope in making sure that we eliminate this disease.
Announcer:
Hillary Clinton says its time to end George Bush’s war on science and invest in stem cell research.
Steve Walter:
I met Senator Clinton at a town hall meeting at Dartmouth College and she had the opportunity to meet Alex and I think it was a great exchange. She shows a lot of compassion for people.
I believe Senator Clinton is a real leader in stem cell research and that’s going to help Alex and a hundred other Americans that suffer from chronic disease.
Announcer:
As President, Hillary Clinton will lift George Bush’s stem cell ban and let American scientists once again take the lead on this important research.
Steve Walter:
I’m a registered Republican from New Hampshire but I plan to vote for Senator Clinton because she supports Stem Cell research and that’s going to help kids like Alex.
Announcer:
If you’re ready for change she’s ready to lead.

Bob Smith Endorses Hunter
Former New Hampshire Senator Bob Smith has endorsed Duncan Hunter for president.
In a letter that appears on a Hunter website, Smith says "There will never be another Ronald Reagan but fellow Californian Duncan Hunter can pick up the Reagan torch and light the way for America to come back from the dangers we now face."
"Duncan Hunter has proven that he can lead. He has been tested. If given the chance as President, he will inspire people, young and old, to rally to our nation in this time of need," Smith added.
Senator Smith was defeated by Senator John Sununu in a 2002 Republican primary.

McCain Receives More Newspaper Endorsements
John McCain continues to rack up the newspaper endorsements.
Last night The Boston Herald endorsed McCain and this morning The Keene Sentinel endorsed the Arizona Senator.
The Sentinel's editorial board admitted "This newspaper does not agree with McCain on many issues."
However they concluded "Where McCain most distinguishes himself from the rest of this year's Republican pack is in the areas of life experience and force of character. He is not a single-issue candidate off on a frantic ideological jag."
Last night The Boston Herald endorsed McCain and this morning The Keene Sentinel endorsed the Arizona Senator.

McCain's Christmas Story
This afternoon John McCain released a new television ad. The thirty-second ad, titled "My Christmas Story," recalls McCain's time has a Vietnam POW.
"It's a powerful reminder that regardless of how difficult the circumstance, simple acts of compassion can bring hope to us all," said Sergeant Major Paul Chevalier (Ret.), Chair of the New Hampshire Veterans for McCain Coalition, in a campaign press release.
You can view the ad here: http://www.johnmccain.com/mychristmasstory
Script for "My Christmas Story" (:30-TV)
JOHN MCCAIN: "One night, after being mistreated as a POW, a guard loosened the ropes binding me, easing my pain.
"On Christmas, that same guard approached me, and without saying a word, he drew a cross in the sand.
"We stood wordlessly looking at the cross, remembering the true light of Christmas.
"I will never forget that no matter where you are, no matter how difficult the circumstances, there will always be someone who will pick you up.
"May you and your family have a blessed Christmas and Happy Holidays.
"I'm John McCain and I approve this message."

Obama Pledges To Have "Most Open" Admin. in History
From The Obama Campaign:
Today in Exeter, Senator Barack Obama hosted a roundtable discussion with New Hampshire Independents to discuss his commitment to cleaning up government and forging bipartisan solutions on the nation's most pressing challenges. Restoring Americans' trust in government, Obama told the group local residents, begins with turning the page the most secretive administration in recent history.
"I will run the most open and transparent Administration in history," Senator Obama said. "Because when you shut the door on the people, chances are you're not doing the peoples' business, you're doing someone else's…Instead of doing business behind closed doors, we'll bring democracy back to the people. When I put together my health care legislation, I won't do it in a back-room – I'll do it out in the open. And we'll make sure the voices of patients, doctors, nurses, and hospital administrators are heard over the drug and insurance industries. That's how we'll finally lower costs and make sure that every American has affordable, high-quality health care."

Huckabee Might Bring In New Jersey Volunteers
In our continuing fascination with campaigns bringing-in out of state volunteers, today we read that Mike Huckabee's campaign will soon bus up volunteers from New Jersey.
This nugget appeared in PolitickerNJ: "Some of these people gathered signatures for Huckabee, helping to submit 2,300 here in New Jersey or 1,300 more than what the state requires, and now they're ready for the next challenges: busing up to New Hampshire to volunteer for the campaign, writing letters to the editor, or convincing friends and relatives to back their man."

Clinton Says in New Ad "Change only comes with experience"
Today the Clinton campaign launched a new ad in New Hampshire.
The 30-second ad, titled "Make it Happen," features Hillary arguing the country needs a leader with the experience needed to make change.
"This election isn't about choosing change over experience. Change only comes with experience," Clinton says in the ad.
Following is the script for the ad.
CLINTON: I'm Hillary Clinton and I approved this message.
I've seen what change takes.
It doesn't happen because you want it to, or because you hoped for it.
You have to work for it
I have thirty-five years experience making change, for kids, for our troops, for families.
This election isn't about choosing change over experience.
Change only comes with experience.
And with the war to end and an economy to fix we've never needed change more, or the strength and experience to make it happen.

Foster's Endorses Rudy
Yesterday, The Foster's Daily Democrat endorsed Rudy Giuliani.
The editors said that "Rudy Giuliani represents the core of Republican thought. He is the kind of Republican who will appeal to the people who elected and re-elected Ronald Reagan."
"Giuliani avoids generalities and obfuscations. What you hear from him is what he believes and how he feels. There is no tap dancing around the great issues on Giuliani's part," they added.

Obama Receives Newspaper Endorsements
This morning The Portsmouth Herald and The Valley News endorsed Senator Barack Obama.
The Portsmouth Herald said Obama "combines the best attributes of natural competence and political inspiration. He inspires trust that he will make sound judgments."
While, The Valley News "She [Clinton] is an armored warrior in a country weary of partisan and cultural warfare; Obama wears no armor. He seeks reconciliation -- at home and abroad — and steps forward, ready to speak a language of common understanding."

Vice-President Gregg?
First Read's Erin McPike writes that New Hampshire senior Senator Judd Gregg could make an interesting vice-presidential pick.
McPike writes, "Premature though it may be, the case can be made for Gregg to make the veep list. It shouldn’t be forgotten that a Romney victory in the Granite State is critical to the success of a Romney candidacy, but Gregg’s help could be rewarded later -- and there was some speculation that there would be a place for him in the Bush administration back in 2000."
Earlier this year Roll Call predicated the same thing. You can read our write-up at: Vice-President Judd Gregg??
We wrote in February "Would Judd leave the Senate? Perhaps more importantly, would Joel Maiola (Gregg's Chief of Staff) allow the move? Who would Lynch appoint to fill Gregg's seat? Let the speculation begin!!!"

Clinton Beefs-Up New Hampshire Press Office
Apparently, Hillary Clinton's New Hampshire campaign headquarters is becoming "the place to be."
Today it was reported that Clinton spokeswoman Kathleen Strand will be receiving from additional help and a veteran Democratic operative has finished reviewing the Clemons GOTV operation.
The Chicago Tribune's Jill Zuckman is reporting that Doug Hatthaway will be lending a helping hand to Clinton's New Hampshire press shop.
Hatthaway is a former New Hampshire spokesman for Al Gore's 2000 campaign and is an advisor to Jeanne Shaheen.
Hatthaway told Zuckman that he will be doing "anything I can to help during the crunch time. There's a lot to do."
This report follows news that legendary Democratic campaign operative Michael Whouley has finished a review of Clinton's Granite State field operation.
Earlier this week, Marc Ambinder wrote that the "field organization put together by state director Nick Clemons, apparently passed Whouley's bow-to-stern inspection."

"This Is The Season of Miracles, Faith and Love"

Due to the tree in the backdrop we're assuming it's a Christmas ad even though it does not directly mention Christmas or the Holidays. Instead the ad states "this is the season of miracles, faith and love."

Ken Burns Endorses Obama
From The Obama Campaign:
Nationally acclaimed documentarian and Walpole resident Ken Burns endorsed Senator Barack Obama’s presidential bid today. Burns, who had planned to stay neutral in the race, said that recent attacks against Obama prompted him to declare his support and cemented his belief that Obama is the only candidate in the race who can put an end to the “slash-and-burn character attacks” that have prevented progress on the challenges we face.
“I had intended to remain neutral throughout the New Hampshire primary process, but find I can no longer do so. Recent events compel me to declare my support for and to endorse Senator Barack Obama for President. I do so for several reasons. At a time when the political winds were pushing this country into an unnecessary and unwise war, Barack Obama had the judgment—and the political and moral courage—to oppose it. At a time when our politics has descended into cynical, slash-and-burn character attacks, Barack Obama has steadfastly presented a positive, unironic, agenda for this country. When others find themselves mired in the consequences of their past actions, and spend their time arguing the past, he is presenting a vision of the future, a vision that is not only possible but essential to our survival as a great nation.

Clinton Airs Ad on National Guard
From The Clinton Campaign:
The Clinton campaign today launched a new ad in New Hampshire, featuring Senator Clinton’s bi-partisan effort with Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) to expand access to TriCare to every National Guard Member and Reservist. The new 30-second spot is entitled, “Guard.”
Following is the script for the ad.
[Hillary Clinton:]
“You would think that after all the sacrifice and service of the National Guard and Reserve protecting our country, they would have had health insurance.
“But they didn’t.
“So I reached across the aisle and worked for three years with Senator Lindsey Graham, a Republican, to change that. Now every member of the Guard and Reserve has access to the health coverage they need.
“I’ve learned if you want to get things done, you have to know when to stand your ground, and when to find common ground.
“I’m Hillary Clinton and I approved this message.”
