Beware the Weldites? That's not much of a ralying cry, my friend. Weld is a distant memory around N. England these days. What have you learned about NH? I am saddened to see the state slowing slidding blue.
I always tended to put Weld in his own special breed of RINO. You have Pataki RINOs who are like a case of herpes - bad, but not fatal. But then you have your Weldites, and that is like AIDS. Once infected, you are f**ked (pardon my Fr**ch).
"Weld is a distant memory around N. England these days."
Almost like the Republican party he destroyed. Well, not so distant a memory as he's trying to spread his disease to NY, his home state...

Since I'm one of those who has refused to be labelled by the media the color of communism, Republican is a blue color, so when we go by colors, it seems too many read them in reverse. NH has had the problem of MA residents coming in and turning the state more 'Rat (though it hasn't reached critical mass). I felt sorry for fmr Gov. Craig Benson as he never seemed to get a break during his too-short tenure. If he had managed to improve on his popularity, he might've been able to have kept the state in our column (though it is clear a lot of those folks there who are comfortable voting GOP elsewhere still couldn't keep their fingers from voting for John F'in narrowly). Still the party needs to do some work there to keep it the bastion of sanity for the northeast. Of course, probably my favorite governor there of the last 40 years was the late Meldrim Thomson. He didn't take any crap from the left.
