Joe Kenney for sure!
Joe Kenney has by far the best experience and actually fought in Iraq! He could kick the crap out of John Lynch...literally!
I don't think violence is
I don't think violence is the answer, nor is someone's ability to kick the crap out of another a qualification for holding public office. Get a job.
Heath & Biundo
How about we have both Heath and Biundo run. They could charge each other and make a fortune for their company!
???
I think if both Heath & Biundo ran it might break a few election laws.
So what else is new...
Biundo breaking election laws is not a new thing!
Jim Coburn...
At least Jim Coburn had money, if we are stuck with Joe Kenney being run by Casey Crane, we are doomed. Only thing worse would Chuck Douglas and his 40 ex-wives.
Guinta...
Ok it is close to April fools day, you think Guinta was kidding?
Who is Joe Kelly Levasseur....
Sorry should I know this name? I know every other name, any ideas on who he is?
Just a loon...
Joe Kelly Levasseur that is.
The Leaders/Losers and where is the hope...
I find it interesting that the leaders of this poll so far are...
Jack Heath
Fran Wendleboe
Chuck Douglas and
Jim Coburn
All four have lost before. Some of them pretty badly. Don't get me wrong if I had to pick from this list someone like Jack Heath makes sense. But dosen't he work with Biundo running campaigns now? Can't we find someone new? Frank Guinta had promise everyone else on this list are either has beens or never was.
GOP should recruit Peter Sullivan!
Manchester Alderman
3 term state representative
family man
lawyer
moderate
Army National Guard
brilliant
articulate
political strategist
He would be very tough for Lynch to beat.
JKL...
Will beat Peter Sullivan in Ward 3 this time. That is of course unless he lets his ego make him think he can beat Guinta again.
Jack Heath
I think he should run, I love his show and he calls it as it is! Jeez he already has a consulting company and a campaign team. They probably have done all the research and I am sure he could muster the endorsement of the states' most powerful republican besides Sununu, in one Frank Guinta.
Steve Merrill loves a good woman, um I mean race
Do you think all his affairs in the 90's will keep him out of the race?
You're kidding, right?
Fran Wendleboe?! HAHAHAHA Is it April 1st already? LMFAO!
Former Franklin Mayor Tony Giunta
Wasn't he thinking about running?
$$$$
Tony can't run he is not a millionare nor can he raise millions.
Ray Buckley Wins Again!
With Guinta out of the race, Ray Buckley just officially became the luckiest man on the planet.
The Republican party is still in a Chuck McGee phone jamming fog, the top Republican in the state decides to do the right thing at the wrong time and Fergus Cullen can't seem to lay an effective glove on anyone.
All we need now is another GOP scandal and I am seriously going to think about becoming a Democrat.
Kenney popular with grassroots
We could do a lot worse than a 28 year Marine. Kenney has gained a lot of support going around the state in the last yr and as far as Crane goes she can be aggressive and the political insiders hate her but the reporters all love her and she knows how to work the media which is going to be the most important thing in this election. Her aggressiveness and Kenneys diplomacy seem like the perfect combination to start beating up on the Dems...didn't Andy Card endorse him...we could do worse now that Guintas out on getting on board with Kenney
Tom Eaton is the man
There is only one republican who has the fortitude to stand and challege Johnny Lynch in 2008, that is former Senator Tom Eaton.
Eaton was the ONLY republican leader in the statehouse in 2005 to stand up for real republican ideals and oppose Lynch on prinicipals.
Lynch used his GOP allies in the legislature (Gatsas, Scamman, Barnes, O'Neil, and Clegg) to oust Eaton from the Senate Presidency because they saw him as a threat.
Tom Eaton is exactly what is needed to sucessfully challege and DEFEAT Gov. Johnny Lynch.
DRAFT TOM EATON FOR GOV
Joe Kelly Levasseur is a
Joe Kelly Levasseur is a Manchester crank politician. He runs for mayor, state senator, alderman, and always loses. Nobody takes him seriously anymore. His nutty anti-Buckley videos and the time he called Kathy Sullivan a "fat pig" and dressed a guy in a pig costume on cable show what this guy is really all about. Even the Republicans dont want to hyave anything to do with this guy.
