McCain Attempts To Drum-Up Support For Surge, While Seperating Himself From Bush

John McCain’s “No Surrender” tour rolled into Londonderry’s American Legion Post 27, on Friday. The event was the last of a two-day trip in which the Arizona Senator attempted to drum-up support for the Iraq surge.

McCain was introduced by wife Cindy who said that she could not prevent her husband from running for president because "I could not, in good conscience, say no to my husband, knowing he is not only the most qualified, has the most character and has the most understanding of this issue.”

This summer McCain’s youngest son, Jimmy, joined the Marine Corps. While his oldest son, Jack, currently attends the Naval Academy in Annapolis.

McCain began ten minute remarks by holding up a copy of the MoveOn.org’s controversial New York Times ad. During the most forceful part of his remarks, he called the ad “disgraceful,” “remarkable,” and “outrageous.”

He then urged presidential candidates to “repudiate such an attack on the honor and integrity not only of General Petraeus but also the officer corps of the United States military.”

During a press conference with reporters, McCain sought to separate himself from President Bush.

When questioned whether he feared being linked to an unpopular President, McCain said, “I hope that people examine my record. Also, they should know that I disagreed with the Rumsfeld strategy, from the beginning.”

Obama Camp Wraps Up Summer Book Club

From The Obama Campaign:

To mark the conclusion of this summer's From Doubt to Hope book clubs, the hosts of the Nashua book club today presented a signed first edition copy of Dreams from my Father to the Nashua Public Library. Nathaniel and Jeannette Brooks had used the library's copy in the two book club sessions they hosted in their retirement home. After a participant discovered it was a first edition, book club members had Obama sign the flyleaf during a visit to New Hampshire in August.

The summer book clubs wrapped up this week at the close of 5 sessions. Over the course of the summer, more than 350 undecided voters read and discussed the book.

Keyes Announces Presidential Candidacy

Former Reagan Ambassador Alan Keyes has announced that he is making another run for the Oval Office. Keyes previously ran in 1996 and 2000. According to a campaign press release, Keyes is running because "The one thing I've always been called to do is to raise the standard . . . of our allegiance to God and His authority that has been the foundation stone of our nation's life." The release also stated that Keyes thinks the current crop of Republican candidates lacks the forthright, clear, and clarion declaration" needed to be president.

Rudy Releases Web Ad Attacking Clinton

Yesterday, Rudy Giuliani's presidential campaign release its first web ad. The ad is called "She Changed" and focuses on "Senator Clinton’s politically expedient positions on the War in Iraq, as well as her support for the ad attacking General Petraeus placed by MoveOn.org in The New York Times."

Script for "She Changed":

NARRATOR: "In 2002, Hillary Clinton voted to authorize military action in Iraq … because she believed it was the right thing to do."

CLINTON: "If left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons."

CLINTON: "He has also given aid, comfort and sanctuary to terrorists, including Al-Qaeda members."

CLINTON: "So it is with conviction that I support this resolution as being in the best interests of our nation."

NARRATOR: "But now that she’s running for President, Hillary Clinton has changed her position, even joining with the radical group MoveOn.org in attacking American General Petraeus. Clinton stood silently by when MoveOn.org ran this venomous ad in The New York Times."

NARRATOR: "The same General she called an expert not long ago."

NARRATOR: "Now, she is questioning his honesty."

HILLARY CLINTON: "The reports that you provide to us really require the willing suspension of disbelief."

NARRATOR: "Just when our troops need all our support to finish the job, Hillary Clinton is turning her back on them. General Petraeus and the brave men and women now serving under him deserve an apology. And our nation deserves better. Senator Clinton, do the right thing. Apologize for your comments and condemn the MoveOn.org ad."

Dodd Challenges Richardson To Red Sox/Yanks Wager

U.S. Senator, Presidential Candidate, and lifetime Boston Red Sox fan Chris Dodd challenged New Mexico Governor and Yankees fan Bill Richardson to a friendly wager over this weekend's Red Sox-Yankees series. Dodd is wagering a gallon of authentic New England Clam Chowder that the Boston Red Sox will win the series against the New York Yankees.

"Nothing is more exciting than a Red Sox-Yankees series in September," said Dodd. "The Governor and I both dreamed about playing center field for our respective teams as children, and although that didn't happen, I know we will be both be watching this series closely, so why not have a little fun with it? I'm willing to wager some authentic New England Clam Chowder against an equitable wager from Governor Richardson, if he's confident enough in his team to accept my challenge."

Edwards Releases Statement on Berlin Demolition

From The Edwards Campaign:

In light of tomorrow's demolition of the mill smokestacks in Berlin, NH , Senator John Edwards released the following statement:

"The demolition of the smokestacks in Berlin is a sad testament to an unbalanced economy that only works for those at the very top while leaving the middle class and working families behind. The men and women who worked in the Berlin mill represent the very best of America: hard work and dedication.

"My father worked in a mill and I watched him work from sunup to sundown to put food on our table and a roof over our heads. Today, it's even harder for working families to get by as more American workers are working long hours with no health insurance, earning a wage that barely allows them to make ends meet. I believe that we are better than that. I believe that we can change our priorities and practice smart trade policies that put workers and families first and allow the American workforce, and towns like Berlin, to adapt, grow and continue to drive the global economy.

"When I am president, I will fight to build One America where every family has the chance to work hard and get ahead. I will raise the minimum wage and fight to strengthen unions. I also promise to never sign a trade agreement unless it includes environmental and labor standards and truly benefits American workers. For too long, Washington has focused on corporate profits instead of the needs of people who work hard for a living day in and day out. Working Americans need a president who will fight for them and that is exactly what I will do every single day when I am in the Oval Office."

Thompson Appoints NH Political Director

Fred Thompson's New Hampshire operation now has a state political director.

In a press release, the Thompson campaign announced that it has hired Christopher "Woody" Wood, to be their New Hampshire political director.

Wood has extensive experience in Granite State Republican campaigns. He has worked on campaigns for Pat Buchanan, Steve Forbes and most recently Manchester Mayor Frank Guinta. Wood also has worked for various conservative groups including Victory New Hampshire and Citizens for a Sound Economy.

We don't want to make Woody's first day on the job a difficult one, but perhaps he can dispel the rumor that Fred is not scheduled to visit the state until early-October.

Granite Status: Rudy To Appear At NH NASCAR Event

Rick has spent the past several years working at a think tank in Washington D.C.

She tells us that she is supporting Ron Paul because background "once you've gotten hooked on the Founding Fathers and considered the freedom and diversity inherent in the constitutional system they came up with, he's a shoe-in."

Ron Paul Supporter Videos

Here are two videos of Ron Paul supporters.

This video is entitled "New Hampshire Loves Ron Paul" and was taken at the Saint Anselm Republican debate.

Former State Rep Endorses Ron Paul

Former State Representative Tom Langlais has endorsed Ron Paul for President. While in office, the one-term state representative represented Allenstown, Epsom, and Pittsfield.

According to a press release, Langlais said he was supporting Paul because "He has opposed sell-out, managed trade deals, authored legislation to protect the unborn, and fought for the rights of homeschoolers—even when those positions were unpopular within his own party. Ron Paul's steadfast defense of the Constitution, his refusal to abandon principle for politics, and his down-to-earth family values make him an easy choice for the GOP nomination; he is truly a Republican's Republican, and Washington is in dire need of his help."

Last Staffer Standing?

The Politico's Jonathan Martin reports this morning that John McCain has lost three more staffers. Martin writes that "...those familiar with the decision of three staffers to leave say that they had begun seeking employment elsewhere when McCain cut back his campaign this summer and that other opportunities came through. While staying involved in politics, none are going to work for another campaign. They all still support McCain."

Martin also discovers that "The only remaining staffer in the political shop is Mike Dennehy, the New Hampshire-based national political director."

Will Dennehy be the last staffer standing?

Former Milton State Rep Endorses Richardson

Former Milton State Representative Nancy Johnson has decided to endorse. The former four-term state representative submitted the following article.

I attended the meeting at the Waldron Towers in Dover to hear Governor Richardson talk about the issues. It is clear to me that the Governor has the experience we need and ideas and solutions to issues that are important to many of us.

The Governor has 14 years of experience in Congress, years of work as a diplomat getting results in North Korea, Iraq, and the Middle East. He was also the US Ambassador to the United Nations, service as Secretary of the Department of Energy, and is currently serving his second term as Governor of New Mexico. I don’t know of any other candidate with this kind of background nor the depth of his experience nationally and internationally.

While there are many issues the Governor talked about, a few that seemed to present important changes included giving veterans and service people the ability to get their health care from any provider, abolishing the marriage penalty in the tax code, and get rid of “No Child Left Behind”. He also made it very clear that we need to focus more attention in our schools on science and math and bring physical education back. The Governor has a plan for alternative energy and wants the Federal Government to be required to balance the budget.

A few weeks ago, I met a man from New Mexico. I asked him about the Governor and he said “he lowered my taxes and he is a super Governor. He cares about the environment, but he also cares about people.”

It seems like a no-brainer. The Governor has the best background and the best ideas of any of the candidates. Finally, what I really like about the Governor is he is not “packaged” and prepped to say what people want to hear. If he doesn’t agree with you, he at least says he will keep an open mind. He came in the room, without loud rock music blasting, and just talked and more importantly – listened to every single person who had a comment or had a question. Isn’t this what we need? Experience, plans for changes, and a person who listens.
