... Mo Baxley, the NH Freedom To Marry Executive Director, has also asked Republican Party Chair John Sununu to "...break his silence..." on the incident. She pointed out that this is the man who called House Bill 436 and marriage equality "...a San Francisco agenda..." and "garbage." Mo makes a good point. Fortunately, some other Republicans have spoken out against...

Let's continue to examine his screed of a few days ago: Sadly, this was not an isolated incident for Lambert, whose chronic angry-at-everyone screeds have made him an isolated figure even among party activists. The only real surprise about the comments is that anyone was listening to notice he crossed the line. It's no accident that U.S. Sen. Judd Gregg and former U.S. Sen. John E. Sununu have...

... Ensign (R-NV) Lindsey Graham (R-SC) Judd Gregg (R-NH) Trent Lott (R-MS) Don Nickles (R-OK) John Sununu (R-NH) Those six Republicans were joined by ten Democrats who voted to move the process forward despite opposing the underlying bill. Just three Republicans voted for the filibuster and against the bill (Chaffee, Hagel, and McCain.) So the next time you hear a Republican say that voting...

... Baker, former national security adviser Brent Scowcroft, former White House chief of staff John Sununu and former defense secretary and current Invisible Man Dick Cheney? They are all happily dreaming of, and working for, the establishment of Pipelineistan. Pipelineistan is the golden future: a paradise of opportunity in the form of US$5 trillion of oil and gas in the Caspian basin and the...

Dante Scala weighs in on Marc Ambinder's post about the NH Republican primary for US Senate. The title of his diary: "She's no Susan Collins". Dean diaried about Ambinder's post yesterday. Scala sees parallels between this GOP Senate primary and the one in 2002. The Sununu vs. Smith race is especially instructive. Sununu, the challenger to the incumbent, did not run as a moderate...

Thank you, Chairman Sununu : "Mr. Lambert's comments were disgusting, inappropriate, and offensive. That is why I, as Chairman, asked for an immediate condemnation from our State Party - and that was done. I am encouraged that so many Granite Staters of all political persuasions denounced this vicious personal attack. We are all in agreement that what Mr. Lambert said is completely reprehensible...

... publicly. That is the first purpose of this article. Where in the world is NHGOP Chair John H. Sununu? Dear former Governor: You are the Ray Buckley of your party. What gives? And cui bono ?

... light". A bad light ... that must be the reason why every Republican save Chairman John H. Sununu has issued a release denouncing Granite Grok for its own bigoted behavior. Although, Lambert can't really call it a "sudden" moment of stupidity, seeing as how he, himself, has blogged on this very topic. Perhaps we should give Doug the title that he conferred in this instance:...

... were heated battles for the U. S. Senate and gubernatorial nominations. In neither race (John Sununu vs. incumbent Bob Smith for the Senate; Craig Benson, Gordon Humphrey and Bruce Keough for governor) did a moderate candidate contend for the nomination. The Sununu vs. Smith race is especially instructive. Sununu, the challenger to the incumbent, did not run as a moderate insurgent....

Bass, Bradley, H. Sununu, and now Stephen . Is it any wonder Gregg was so desperate to fill his seat with a non retread? Former state Health and Human Services Commissioner John Stephen met with the Republican Governor's Association at their Washington office this Tuesday, an encouraging sign for some Republicans who have been urging him to challenge Democratic Gov. John Lynch next year. This...

Tonight I headed out to join other health care advocates in "welcoming" curiously tanned U.S. House Minority Leader John Boehner to a NH GOP fundraiser in downtown Concord. Papa Sununu, in hopes of picking up seats that New Hampshire voters have firmly signaled should NOT be under Republican control, thought bringing in one of the henchmen trying to kill real health care reform would...

Got a call today from Bob Smith, the former New Hampshire senator who lost a 2002 Republican primary to John Sununu, retired to Sarasota, and has been trying to get back into politics ever since. Over the summer, he jumped...

... Civil Rights Leader Kevin Smith calls it an "uphill battle" in the piece, and John H. Sununu basically dismisses the idea of a repeal. That's not to say we shouldn't do everything possible to defeat the haters' bills. But on the other hand, let's not let linkbait cause us to forget the firm ground we are on either.

... were defeated across the board after the election of George W Bush. Unfortunately for John H Sununu and the New Hampshire Republican Party, that did not happen to Democrats this time around. In total, Democrats won 7 mayoral seats yesterday-in Keene, Concord, Portsmouth, Laconia, Claremont, Somersworth, and Berlin. In Keene, incumbent Democrat Phillip Pregent won re-election unopposed. In...

... fringe that control's the minority party will embrace Kimball's candidacy. It is clear that Sununu is assembling a terrific 2010 ticket for another Democratic landslide." After last week, I think it not hard to believe that NH Republican is now in ascendancy: Lynne Blankenbeker's win as a NH House rep (a very conservative Republican now from that liberal bastion of Concord - who'da thunk...
