CONCORD – Republican vice presidential nominee and ex-Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin on Monday simultaneously endorsed GOP Senate hopeful Kelly Ayotte of Nashua and slapped around Ayotte’s two main rivals for the job.
Palin posted on her Facebook page a surprise endorsement in this crowded primary to replace retiring U.S. Sen. Judd Gregg.
“It’s my honor to endorse a Granite State “mama grizzly” who has broken barriers, fought off and locked up criminals, and battled all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court to protect the rights of New Hampshire parents – and won,” Palin wrote.
“New Hampshire is lucky to have Kelly Ayotte as a candidate for the U.S. Senate this year.”
The Supreme Court reference is Ayotte’s argument for New Hampshire parental notification prior to a minor girl’s abortion legislation the justices found to be unconstitutional.
Obviously, Ayotte welcomed the backing of Palin who, as a running mate of John McCain, campaigned in New Hampshire before large crowds at three rallies leading up to the 2008 fall general election.
“Gov. Palin is a conservative icon who has brought enormous energy to our party. As governor, she took on the entrenched special interests to deliver results,” Ayotte said in a statement.

GOP candidate Ovide Lamontagne of Manchester pulled no punches in condemning Palin for endorsing Ayotte.
“I am not at all surprised by today’s endorsement. This is not the first time that Go. Palin has endorsed an establishment candidate over an authentic conservative in a primary, as she has done today,” Lamontagne said in a statement.
FALSE on both accounts.
Redstate: We have been had. It’s time to stop electing RINOS!!!
I am sick and I am tired of all these pathetic RINOS infiltrating the Republican party!!! I watched Scott Brown win MA with glee on the eve of Barack Obama’s 1 year anniversary of “winning” the election in 2008.
Thing is, we have been had.
We worked so hard to elect a democrat lite. I’m tired of it. And I cannot take it anymore.
This is the exact reason that right now I want those willing to not vote for any “mushy” republicans in the senate primaries that come in 2010. This includes list includes
Kelly Ayotte (RINO-NH), John McCain (RINO-AZ), Tom Campbell (RINO-CA), and Mike Castle (RINO-DE).

KELLY AYOTTE NEEDS TO RENOUNCE HER SUPPORT OF SONIA SOTOMAYOR
http://www.edmosca.com/?tag=kelly-ayotte
“I want to commend the Senate for confirming Judge Sotomayor today. The US Senate had an extensive, respectful, and fair hearing on Judge Sotomayor’s judicial record and qualifications. While we will be losing a great New Hampshire legal mind in Justice Souter on the Supreme Court, I believe his replacement will live up to his work and his example on the Court. Judge Sotomayor’s historic confirmation to the US Supreme Court will add another great legal mind to the Court and I am proud to support her.”

Sadly, you have a major problem.

Not to worry....Tom Campbell lost the primary in June and will not be on the General election Ballot in Nov, and J McCain hasen’t won his primary against JD yet.....the Others I don’t know about.......
Get a grip you’re losing it, pissant!
You need to get behind Ovide Lamontagne, who is running at under 10% in the polls. He has no chance of winning like all the other losers you back.
How's the Falcon Party recruitment drive coming? Did you get your third member? Well, I'm having trouble sleeping so I think I'll hit the Falcon Party website. A Duncan Hunter radio interview script will put me to sleep in no time.

Nine States Sue EPA Seeking Tougher Mercury Rule
New Hampshire Attorney General Kelly Ayotte said, “New Hampshire cannot wait for meaningful nationwide controls on mercury emissions from coal-fired power plants. Mercury is highly toxic and threatens our health and environment. EPA has ignored sound science, the Clean Air Act and New Hampshire’s recommendations on setting strict federal controls for mercury. We have no choice but to seek
reversal of this misguided rule.”

I’m still holding out hope that Palin will endorse Peter Schiff over Mcmahon, which is a billionare businesswoman. My fear is that Palin will endorse Mcmahon because she’s a self made woman over Schiff. It would certainly hurt my faith in Palin if she don’t endorse Peter Schiff

Who is more conservative?
