"Having the primary on top of the holiday season, just barely a few days after the Iowa caucus, I think does a great disservice to the voters," he said. "The idea that we had holiday greeting television ads was just unbelievable."

Insiders only may apply
Isn't that interesting. "Moments" after Foster announces he's not running, Lasky announces she is running for his seat. Talk about an insiders game.
Lasky? Possible GOP Win
She has one of the worst personalities in the House, a real snob.
The Republicans can win this seat with someone like Dennis Hogan or Dave McLaughlin
Good news for the House
This is good news for the House. One less of Norelli's arrogant snobs to look down her nose on the hoi polloi. Now, if we could just get Dan Eaton and Marjory Smith to run for the Senate.
It isnt actually the hoi
It isnt actually the hoi polloi that is redundant it is simply hoi polloi.
Please forgive me
Please forgive me, Your Royal Higness.
Redundant
"It isnt actually the hoi polloi that is redundant it is simply hoi polloi."
Hey CalamityJane, you criticized calamityjane for her use of the English language, but your lack of punctuation is a worse offense.
How about:
It isn't the hoi polloi. That is redundant. It is simply hoi polloi.
By the way, your use of "actually" is redundant.
Wor of wards
The gremmar wors are heating up on politickernh. Why are gottesman comments being deleted? What is everyone hiding I am getting only snipets. I am willing to bet it is something that if it were a Republican it would have been published.
Outsiders stay out!
Further proof the Democrat party bosses don't want an open primary: the Senate Democratic Caucus lists the names of Buckley's 24 hand-picked candidates, but not Peter McDonald, who has filed to run against Amanda Merrill in District 21.
