Politicker.com Managing Editor James Pindell appeared on two radio shows in recent days discussing New Hampshire politics.

This morning he appeared on New Hampshire Public Radio's "The Exchange".

Over the weekend he was also a guest on "Meet The New Press" with the authors of the GraniteGrok blog.

In addition he is a guest every Monday on WGIR-AM's The Charlie Sherman Show.

Former U.S. Rep. Jeb Bradley: Campaign photoThe conservative website GraniteGrok has endorsed former U.S. Rep. Jeb Bradley (R-Wolfeboro).

"When one looks at his record and considers the general center-right makeup of the 1st CD, he is as closely matched with constituents as a politician could be," wrote Doug Lambert. "His conservative credentials come attached with a reasonable and respected record on the environment that can be defended against the overheated rhetoric that will be undoubtedly deployed by Shea-Porter and the big money special interest groups backing her (Sierra Club, etc)."

The conservative website GraniteGrok has endorsed Grant Bosse (R-Hillsboro) in the 2nd Congressional District Republican primary.

"We ask our readers who live in NH's Congressional District to give Grant a very close look. If you feel that government should supply your every (or even most) need, he's not your guy," wrote Republican activist Skip Murphy. "If you believe that we owe all that we are and have to government, he's not your guy. If you believe that government knows more than you do about taking care of your family, he's not your guy."

John McCain (R-Ariz.) will win the Granite State in the fall not because McCain is a Republican but because he is "independent." In the same editorial, Clegg, a state senator, says he also represents the "mind-set" of voters.

"Both of our congressional seats are now occupied by Democrats, but I believe the voters of New Hampshire will deliver them back to the Republicans this year, with John McCain leading the way," Clegg wrote on the website GraniteGrok. "This is not because we both have an ‘R' next to our names; this is because John McCain and I truly represent the mind-set of New Hampshire voters. In 2004, 44% of New Hampshire voters identified themselves as ‘independent'."

A New Hampshire blogger and Republican activist is attempting to get Manchester Mayor Frank Guinta to run for governor.

Republican activist Doug Lambert has begun a "Draft Guinta for Governor" movement. Lambert is also a blogger at the website "GraniteGrok."

Appearing on GraniteGrok's radio show, "Meet The New Press," Grant Bosse (R-Hillsboro) announced his candidacy for the Second Congressional District.

"We're going full-speed," Bosse said.

Gov. John Lynch (D-Hopkinton) was much more confident as to who would win the Super Bowl than he was about who would win the Democratic presidential nomination or even if he would run for re-election this fall.  read more »
