McCains Donate Money To UL/Salvation Army "Santa Fund"
Senator John McCain and his wife donated $500 to The Union Leader's/Salvation Army "Santa Fund" drive. Not to be outdone by her son, Roberta McCain gave $1,000 to the fund.
Their names were listed among those who, so far, have given to the annual Christmas fund.
A couple weeks ago, the McCains also took part in a luncheon that launched the fundraising effort.
The "Santa Fund" helps fund programs sponsored by The Salvation Army, especially one of our favorites Kids Cafe.

Giunta Endorses Rudy
Today at Manchester City Hall Plaza, Mayor Frank Giunta endorsed Rudy Giuliani for President.
In an interview with The Union Leader, Giunta said he was supporting the former New York City Mayor because "I can identify with him on those things that are most important to people, making the city safer and stronger and continuing a vibrant economy. That record is what we need in the White House, and he is the individual who is most capable," of winning the general election.
Earlier this month, Giunta won re-election to the corner office with 54 percent of the vote and originally hails from New Jersey.

They Love The Primary...They Really Do
Here's a collection of statements from presidential candidates voicing their support of Bill Gardner's decision.
Statement from New Hampshire Democratic Party Chairman Ray Buckley:
"I'm very happy to hear that we have a date for our primary. Now we can all enjoy our holiday and the campaigns can make their final preparations."
Governor Bill Richardson:
"I congratulate Bill Gardner for successfully defending New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation primary and preserving the very special role played by discerning New Hampshire voters."
Senator John Edwards:
“I am pleased that New Hampshire will retain its rightful place as the first-in-the-nation primary. I applaud Bill Gardner's work to protect New Hampshire's significance in our nominating process. The New Hampshire primary is critical because voters in New Hampshire take their responsibility seriously: they listen to the candidates, look them in the eye, ask them tough questions and size them up. In New Hampshire, ideas truly matter more than money and that is precisely why this is anyone's race."
Governor Mitt Romney:
"It is good news that New Hampshire's traditional role in the process has been maintained. I will work to ensure that all New Hampshire's delegates are seated at the Convention."
Senator Hillary Clinton:
"I support New Hampshire's special role in the primary process, and I look forward to discussing the important issues in this race with Granite State voters over the next 47 days."
Senator Barack Obama:
“The New Hampshire Primary plays a vital role in our Democracy. It allows voters to get to know the candidates up close—to ask tough questions and see who is trustworthy to lead this country forward. We’ve built an unmatched grassroots organization in New Hampshire, and we’re looking forward to sending a clear message on Primary Day that the American people want change they can believe in.”
Senator Chris Dodd:
"By setting January 8th as the date of New Hampshire's Primary, Secretary Gardner has provided certainty for voters and maintained New Hampshire's traditional role as the first in the nation primary. I'm looking forward to a vigorous campaign and presenting my record of results to the people of New Hampshire."

VIEW THE NEW ADS HERE: http://www.johnmccain.com/tvads/
Script for "I Listened" (:60-Radio)
John McCain: "Eight years ago, I hadn't thought much about climate change. But the people of New Hampshire had."
Announcer: "John McCain talks about climate change."
John McCain: "And in every town hall I heard from you that climate change was real and was a serious threat to our environment and national security.
"I think the time is past when we argue about whether climate change is real or not. We have an obligation to future generations to take action and fix it.
"Not everyone heard you, but I did.
"And since then I've worked hard to find free market solutions to the problem because I know like you know: there's no problem too tough for the American people to tackle.
"One of those solutions is to reduce our dependence on foreign oil because it's not just a greenhouse gas issue; it's a national security issue.
"You were right New Hampshire, and I'm glad I listened to you.
"And I'm still listening.
John McCain: "I'm John McCain and I approved this message."

Flake, Huntsman Give A Helping Hand To McCain
This past weekend, John McCain was joined by campaign surrogates Arizona Congressman Jeff Flake and Utah Governor Jon Huntsman.
To our knowledge, this was Flake's first trip to New Hampshire. Huntsman was in the state back in January, when he attended the NH GOP convention.
Bringing prominent supporters to the Granite State, appears to be an ongoing strategy for the McCain campaign.
Earlier this month, McCain was joined on the trail by former Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge.
South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham and Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty have also appeared in the Granite State stumping for McCain. Pawlenty and Graham are often considered to be candidates for potential cabinet positions in future Republican administrations.

Dodd Campaign Attacks Clinton's New Ad

Hari Sevugan, Communications Director for the Dodd for President campaign, release a statement that said, "It's an interesting admission from Senator Clinton - that if she's elected we're headed for 4 more years of the partisan warfare, Washington dysfunction, bitter divisiveness and gridlock that have marked the last 15 years, at a time when all Americans are desperate for real solutions to real problems."

From The Clinton Campaign:
In response to Senator Obama's newly announced education plan, Granite State education leaders Karen McDonough, former President of the National Education Association of New Hampshire, and Barbara Doyle, former Director of the National Education Association of New Hampshire and the current President of the New Hampshire Retired Educators Association, gave the following statements praising Senator Clinton's 35-year commitment to improving our education system.
"I trust Hillary to make the real changes our education system needs because she has the experience and leadership to get it done. When it comes to our children's education, we can't take a chance on inexperienced leadership. There is too much at stake. Hillary Clinton has been working on behalf of children her entire life. She didn't just discover this issue," said Barbara Doyle. "There are issues at all levels that must be addressed and it is very clear to me that Senator Clinton is right candidate to tackle the challenges we face."

Clinton Releases Ad on "the Republican Attack Machine"
The Clinton campaign today launched a new ad in New Hampshire outlining why Hillary is the most qualified candidate to take on the Republican attack machine.
The new 30-second spot, entitled, “Machine,” discusses the strength and experience Hillary has to end the war in Iraq , her commitment to cutting the Republican deficit and her plan to make the government work again for the middle class.
Watch the ad here: http://www.hillaryclinton.com/video/71.aspx
Following is the script for the ad.
“Machine”
TV: 30
ANNCR: Here they go again—the same old Republican attack machine is back. Why?
ANNCR: Maybe it’s because they know that there’s one candidate with the strength and
experience to get us out of Iraq .
ANNCR: One candidate who will end tax giveaways for the big corporations.
ANNCR: One candidate committed to cutting the huge Republican deficit.
ANNCR: And one candidate who will put government back to work for the middle class.
ANNCR: The strength to fight. The experience to lead.
CLINTON : I’m Hillary Clinton and I approved this message.

Gregg, Cellucci Duke It Out Over NH GOP Delegates

Biden Preparing To Accept Federal Matching Funds
In an e-mail to supporters, Delaware Senator Joe Biden announced that his campaign is preparing to accept federal matching funds. Biden is urging supporters to donate money so he can compete in the Iowa caucuses. Biden wrote, "one of these steps includes the campaign preparing a submission in order to qualify for matching funds."
Here is the full e-mail:
As you know, we are taking every necessary step in order to compete during the final weeks leading up to the Iowa caucuses on Janurary 3rd. One of these steps includes the campaign preparing a submission in order to qualify for matching funds. What this means is public financing will MATCH every individual contribution up to $250.
So, those that contribute up to $250, through matching funds, will see their contribution doubled. $10 becomes $20. $50 becomes $100. $250 becomes $500.
I understand you haven't made an online contribution to the campaign yet. This campaign is creating real political buzz on the ground as Iowans begin to choose their candidates. By contributing $10, $25, $50 -- up to $250 today -- you can double the impact your support will have in Iowa for staff, advertising, and additional outreach to Iowa caucus-goers.
Thank you for supporting our efforts. We are making real progress in this campaign and I could not do this without you.

CNN/WMUR Poll: Giuliani Falls to Third, Paul in Fourth
CNN/WMUR/UNH has completed a new poll of Granite State Republicans. The poll shows Mitt Romney is leading the field. However, it also has Giuliani slipping to third and Ron Paul now in a solid fourth place.
Here are the results:
Romney: 33%
McCain: 18%
Giuliani: 16%
Paul: 8%
Huckabee: 5%
Thompson: 4%
Tancredo: 1%
Hunter: 1%
In an "e-briefing," Romney's national spokesman, Kevin Madden, argues that "the Giuliani campaigns abrupt decision to hit the airwaves in New Hampshire has to be seen as a push on the panic button."
Madden also wrote, "there is very little doubt that rival campaigns will view these numbers as evidence that they need to attack Governor Romney with negative advertising in an effort to try tear him down. With Governor Romney in a competitive position, other campaigns will start to show signs of desperation, taking direct aim at the governor and predictably resorting to distortions."

Clinton Airs "Joe Ward" Ad
Today, Hillary Clinton became the fourth presidential candidate to announce that they are airing a new television ad.
Clinton's new ad, titled "Joe Ward," "features the story of a father who called on Senator Clinton for help when insurance companies refused to pay for life-saving medical treatment for his son."
“Joe Ward”
WARD: Let me tell you a little story. My son Joel had a terrible illness. He needed a bone marrow transplant that our insurance wouldn’t cover and we couldn’t afford.
WARD: We called Senator Clinton and asked for help. Her office called the next day letting us know the hospital was going to absorb the cost of the transplant.
WARD: Now, her opponents are saying that Hillary can’t be trusted. I trusted this woman to save my son’s life. And she did.
CLINTON: I’m Hillary Clinton, and I approved this message.

Script:
"When I'm president I'm going to say to members of Congress and members of my administration, including my cabinet: I'm glad that you have health care coverage and your family has health care coverage. But if you don't pass universal health care by July of 2009 – in six months – I'm going to use my power as president to take your health care away from you. [Applause] There's no excuse for politicians in Washington having health care when you don't have health care. I'm John Edwards and I approve this message."

Giuliani Airs "Leadership" Ad
Today, Rudy Giuliani launched his second television ad. The ad entitled, "Leadership," shows Rudy, alone, speaking directly into a campaign. According to the campaign, "The ad is airing in New Hampshire and Boston."
Script for "Leadership":
"I believe I've had the most leadership experience of anyone that's running. It's not just holding executive positions, like Mayor of New York, or United States Attorney, or 3rd ranking official in the Reagan Justice Department. It's having held those positions in time of crisis. I've been tested in a way in which the American people can look to me. They're not going to find perfection, but they're going to find somebody who has dealt with crisis almost on a regular basis and has had results. And in many cases, exceptional results. Results people thought weren't possible. I'm Rudy Giuliani and I approve this message."

Results people thought weren't possible. I'm Rudy Giuliani and I approve this message."
Romney Airs "American Family" Ad
Today, Mitt Romney's campaign launched another TV ad. The ad, entitled "American Family," shows Mitt and his wife Ann discussing "the importance of strengthening families in America."
Script For "American Family" (TV:30):
GOVERNOR MITT ROMNEY: "I'm Mitt Romney, and I approve this message.
"The future of this country is more affected by the work that goes on within the four walls of the home than anything else.
"You teach kids about what TV to watch. You teach them how to read."
ANN ROMNEY: "And that's how we raised our boys, is knowing that they were the focus."
GOVERNOR MITT ROMNEY: "It's just essential to have a home where faith, where love of country, where determination, where all of these features that are so much a part of America's culture are tied to our kids.
"And without that, I don't see how a society continues to lead the world."

McCain Visits Dartmouth
This report from the New Hampshire College Republicans:
Senator John McCain held a town hall yesterday at Dartmouth, packing Alumni Hall at the Hopkins Center. It was standing room only with people filling in every available space. My estimate would peg attendance around 450.
McCain was greeted with thunderous applause after being introduced by Rep. Jeff Flake. The Senator was completely at ease on the stage. He first provided a concise look at a few of his positions, including on global warming and the Iraq War. During the Q&A portion, he started by gallantly addressing an emotional question concerning medicinal marijuana. His responses on issues from nuclear power to education to foreign policy showed a complete grasp of the issues.
After the program, Senator McCain stuck around to shake hands, answer questions, and pose for pictures. He came across as incredibly experienced and entirely genuine, impressing in particular when he jumped off the stage on several occasions to hand a questioner the mic.
I also had the opportunity to ride down with Senator McCain from his town hall in North Haverhill, spending about an hour sitting next to him. I'll be writing up a story on the Senator for The Dartmouth Review and will post that link when it's up. In the meantime, here are a few tidbits: McCain's musical preferences include the Beatles and Elvis Presley, his favorite film is 1952's Viva Zapata! (directed by Elia Kazan), and he would pick Abraham Lincoln if he could have dinner with a historical figure.Also, I highly recommend Senator McCain's book Faith of My Fathers. It's a must-read, and you can get it autographed next time the Senator is in New Hampshire.
