Former New Hampshire Democratic Party Chairwoman Kathy Sullivan has filed a complaint against the New Hampshire Advantage Coalition. In a letter to Attorney General Kelly Ayotte, Sullivan says that the group has broken seven election and tax laws, but Mike Biundo, chairman of NHAC, says the allegations are not true.

Sullivan alleges that the group has not filed as a political action committee, has not put disclosures on campaign materials and is violating their nonprofit status by promoting the candidacy of group members.

A volunteer collecting signatures for the New Hampshire Advantage Coalition has been charged with assaulting a disabled senior citizen on July 28th, The Concord Monitor is reporting.

Green then left the scene but police were able to track him down. An arrest warrant was issued for Green and when Green failed to turn himself in Concord police arrested Green at his home.

A new video posted on the internet shows New Hampshire Democratic Party Chairman Ray Buckley telling a Democratic activist that he has "problems" with Democratic Gov. John Lynch.

"Do I have problems with John Lynch? Do a lot of people? Absolutely. I have problems with just about everybody," Buckley said in a video posted by the New Hampshire Advantage Coalition (NHAC).

The video was taken by a tracker at the opening of the New Hampshire Democratic Party Coordinated Campaign office in Plymouth last Wednesday. An unidentified woman is telling Buckley about her issues with "straight ticket voting."

Over the last three election cycles, senate district 18 has been decided on average of less than 900 votes.  In 2006, a landslide year for Democrats, Betsi DeVries beat Andy Martell by 1500 votes, which is the largest margin of victory in the last 6 years.  This year no Republican has stepped up to the plate to challenge the freshman senator, but two candidates are considering it.

Manchester Ward 8 school board member Doug Kruse is one candidate considering the race.  Doug has been rumored for many offices in the past few years, but to date has stuck with his duties as a school board member.  The other is businessman and political consultant Mike Biundo.
