I heard her name yesterday for the first time, whats her story?
Obviously, Alfred E. Newman’s oldeest daughter..
Wow. The Obama gang that couldn’t shoot straight! This is like deja vu with Clinton in 1992 with Kimba Woods et. al.
Democrats sure believe in taxing people, they just don’t seem to have the same belief in PAYING taxes!
Looks like she’s a Republican (a NE liberal Republican probably). University President and former Gregg Chief of Staff.
I woner what Judd did with his lottery winnings?
She sounds like a RINO AND a squish.
How nice for us...another tower of jello going to the US Senate...the world’s greatest and squishiest body.
Bonnie Newman, former chief of staff to Gregg, will complete his term in the Senate.
There goes even the threat of fillibuster. Thanks Judd for one party rule!
A Democrat Governor nominates a Republican. Hummmm?
J. Bonnie Newman, a Republican with close ties to Governor John Lynch (D).
Newman served as assistant secretary of Commerce for economic development in the Reagan administration.
She was in charge of administrative operations for the George H.W. Bush White House.
She was chief of staff to Gregg when he was a congressman in the 1980s, and she was one of the first Republicans to publicly endorse Lynch in his 2004 challenge of then-Republican Governor Craig Benson, and co-chaired Republicans for Lynch.
J. Bonnie Newman will return to the University of New Hampshire on June 30, 2006 as interim president and an executive dean at Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government.
Which side of the aisle will she be on in the Senate?
bucket-o-mush RINO
Good that this potential drama was nipped quickly and that the deal to replace Gregg with a Repub held.
An academic, is likely to be another Rino.
At least she is an R.
If the leftist loons in the Senate and the Marxist goons in 0’s administration are going along with this, Newman is just another moderate Republican who will fit into 0’s scheme of what he wants to see the Republican Party become, liberal lite.
A Republican? I am surprised as I thought the move was made to shift the seats to a filibuster proof majority.
So Obama gets his 60th vote, and it’s a “Republican” to boot.
Is she any good. Did they keep their promise to pick a Republican...hopefully conservative, but at least someone better than Gregg would be a plus.
Just revolting to see a stalwart fiscal conservative lend aid and comfort to a dedicated Marxist.
Every time we think the Rockefeller Republican wing is dead and buried, a faint, feeble “I’m not dead yet!” cry comes from the not-so-great Northeast.
Someone on FR yesterday said part of the deal is that the replacement senator would not run in the next election. Does anyone know if that is true?
