I can't believe Ayotte has gotten as far as she has. She'd do well to stop now before everyone realizes how clueless she really is

yeah like we need to destroy the country even more then we just did by reelecting the Traitor in Chief!

"Traitor in Chief?" What are you smoking, Mr. Campbell? It must be laced with PCP. You're delusional.

"Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort" (U.S. Constitution, Article III, Section 3).

Not being a Republican doesn't count as treason.

Ha ha ha ha ha!!! Good one! As if that would ever happen!!!

This right here!

With Democratic governors in NH for almost 20 years? Predicting Hassan's demise before she has even governed is silly.

And Ayotte? That woman is going public to say that she will block Obama on every nominee for Secretary of State until she gets answers on Benghazi. Watch that position go Poof! if Kerry was nominated.

Ayotte has no gravitas. She's a newcomer and a lightweight. Given the fact that her reelection will coincide with a presidential election when turnout is at its maximum, it's far more likely that she's the one who'll be a single-termer, given both historical precedent for New Hampshire trending Democratic and the way she's making a fool of herself for her party (and not for New Hampshire) over Benghazi and Susan Rice for the sake of Scott Brown.

You are correct the republicans will be blamed by the masses because the masses are a bunch of blind dumb sheeple who buy the countless lies of liberalism even though it is the liberals and their lies that help keep them taxed and poor

The austerity that put them into a second recession.

Alright Rip,
What would we have to cut to balance the budget?

Maybe Maggie the Red Hassan and Noodnick Norelli could fix the Pension Plan for State Employees. They were part of creating the MESS.

she has a husband and great parents, i dont DDS will be at her home anytime soon

Ed, of course DCYF would never go to her house. The numerous DCYF complaints to Kelly when she was Attorney General were thrown out like yesterday's trash. Her claim was DCYF worked for her and she wouldn't take complaints against them. Do you honestly think they would EVER go to her house when she did nothing to stop their deceitful practices? When she sat there and watched innocent families being torn apart without the blink of an eye? Not in this lifetime!

Rick:

> The Right wing republican party is dead!

Please don't make that mistake. Until we see the oaken stake driven through the heart of the Republican Party, it ain't dead. And remember: For a while, Dick Cheney had no heart through which to drive the stake!

2014 is already coming and we need to assure that the victories that the 99.9% won in 2012 (even for the 47% that don't believe in the victories) aren't over-turned by another 2010 debacle. Karl Rove, Rush Limbaugh, and News Flash will all be hard at work for the next two years; let's make sure we are too!

Elizabeth Warren is a person who holds and defends the values Democrats believe in. She's a terrific person. However, she lacks the substantive career to instill enough confidence in the party that she can carry the torch without dropping it. I'll be watching her over the next three years to see if she has enough talent to compensate for that shortfall.

I think Hillary will run. Bill Clinton worked his butt off for Obama, and his enormous efforts indicated to many observers that he is interested in the future for personal reasons as well as public ones.

I think that NO RECORD is better than any record in presidential politics sometimes. Politics, if your doing it right, leaves a wake of tough decisions that didn't make either side particularly happy. Maybe Warren is an interesting idea. Extremely principled and a champion of the middle class..... Intriguing...

Hassan has a record. A record of spending money, lots of money. Gives it to Unions and takes it from taxpayers.

Elizabeth Warren, on two occasions, had to defer to Governor Patrick to answer a simple question directed to her. Shes a leader allright.

All us regular people outside the right wing bubble have no idea what crazy stories you are hearing about Elizabeth Warren, could you elaborate on the "two occasions she "had to defer"?

Elizabeth Warren, as a social scientist, was a left-wing results-oriented hack. That skill set may indeed prove useful some day in her search for higher office, if the Fates are unkind to us.

Mike- Elizabeth Warren, the Massachusetts Democrat who defeated Scott Brown for the U.S. Senate, held what the Boston Herald reports as an "awkward" first press conference in Boston with Massachusetts governor Deval Patrick. Warren's first question from the press as a senator-elect was about defense spending, on which she reportedly deferred to Patrick before the Democratic governor said to Warren, "Defense spending is you."

“Oh, that’s mine,” Warren replied.

After Warren fielded the question, Patrick stepped in to answer the follow-up.

“Let me start,” said Patrick, shielding Warren from having to answer.

When she did respond, the answers were often brief.

How does she feel about the high female voter turnout and the election of women in New Hampshire?

“I’m glad,” she said.

Is it surprising?

“I’m glad that the women turned out to vote, it meant a lot,” said Warren.

Asked what impact more women in the Senate would have, Warren punted.

“You want to try answering that?” she said, turning to Patrick, who stepped in again.

I don't read tabloids....

"Earlier, Warren power-walked past press photographers as she got off a State House elevator and went into Patrick’s office, blowing a potential photo op" - I smell a Pulitzer....

How about Ayotte's votes against disaster aid for her own state after last year's ice storm and a negative vote for highway funds to complete the expansion of NH Rte 93. If these two don't open some eyes, I don't know what will. And please, that shaky Katherine Hepburn voice has got to go.

Kuster has embarrassed NH and she has not even taken office yet. Hang on for the next two years on this one.

Your use of the term "media whore" for a female is inappropriate and an embarrassment to you and liberals.

Seamus:

Suddenly you're sensitive?

Seamus would never miss an opportunity for feigned outrage.

He is very fragile, when it suits him.

Sure. Obama "damaged" the economy by causing the Dow Jones Industrial index to more than double in a single term, going from a low of 6,500 in early-mid-March 2009 to over 13,000 on the day of his reelection.

That's some kind of damage. With damage like that, I'd hate to see your examples of improvement.

And Obama damaged our governance? When he adopts Republican positions and they drop them because of it, it's pretty absurd to place the blame on him for that. When they reject all compromise even if they get ten times in concessions what they're asked to give in return, then everyone else here can tell that someone is not in touch with commonsense reason, and they know exactly who it is.

Stephen:
1) Since when does "economy" = stock market, especially for liberals? This is the slowest "recovery" since the 1930s. Obama claimed to know where things stood in 2009, and when pushing for the "stimulus" bill he promised much better results on employment and the deficit. But our unemployment rate has consistently been higher even than the "bad" scenario he had painted as what would happen in the absence of the stimulus bill. By Obama's own standards he's a failure. Also, $6 trillion in new national debt under Obama, after he promised to cut the deficit in half.
2) Governance: a) GM bailout illegally gives the UAW, the union that backed him, hundreds of millions more than their share, while screwing the 20,000 nonunion employees of Delphi. That is corruption, and it was not necessary to the bailout. b) Fast & Furious. c) Benghazi. We had planes an hour away, the attack lasted 7 hours, yet none of our planes shot anything. Therefore Obama's claim that the government "work[ed] to mobilize all available assets and move them into the region as quickly as possible" is a falsehood. d) He gave out over 1,000 waivers to politically connected donors exempting them from the destructive Obamacare requirements. e) Pretends to care about rising energy prices, when he had vowed to increase them on purpose (to make alternative energy schemes more competitive.) f) Dropped the voter intimidation case against the New Black Panthers even after they had lost a default judgement.

Mr. Pitelli,|

Experts have credited the stimulus for both saving and creating millions of jobs. The stock market gains are leading economic indicators among others. Measures of consumer confidence, home sales and housing starts are up. Based on current policies and trends, Moody's Analytics has predicted unemployment to drop below 6% by 2015, with a total jobs created to amount to 12 million by 2016.

While debt under Obama is huge, the growth of it during his administration is at record lows. National debt under him hasn't grown more slowly under any other president since Eisenhower.

GM is a comeback success. Find whatever flaws you may, the overall result is better than the alternative of letting it collapse.

Same goes for Benghazi. Any ambassador stationed in Libya would have been at risk. Ambassador Stevens knew it and accepted it. He even insisted on his own exposure believing that it would bring him closer to the Libyan people. And it did. After his death, many Libyans publicly protested the militia that killed him.

Libya is a foreign policy success for the United States. Libyan protests on behalf of Stevens are strong evidence. NATO's intervention on behalf of the rebels against Gaddafi and America's role in it demonstrate to Arabs that we are not their automatic enemy like they are wont to assume, that we also have altruistic motives for their region.

The part about "vowing" to raise energy prices is a reckless falsehood. The rest is inane.
