Even as the New York Times is reporting on turmoil within Republican businessman Herman Cain’s presidential campaign, Cain is working to build up his New Hampshire organization, particularly among Tea Party supporters.
In an email to supporters this week, former New Hampshire Republican Party Chairman Jack Kimball threw his weight behind Cain, and announced that Cain will be opening more offices and building up his New Hampshire campaign.

Just sent him another small donation.
I am on board for the long run
Rove can crawl back into his cave. He makes me sick.
Wow all of Cain big wig supporters have some kind of election or fundraisng problems.
Is the Tea Party being ran by unethical people. Maybe that’s why they don’t vet candidates, to many skeletons.

New Hampshire GOP Chair Resigns Under Pressure

New Hampshire Republican Party chairman Jack Kimball
New Hampshire Republican Party Chair Jack Kimball, who won his post in the key presidential primary state earlier this year with the help of Tea Party activists, resigned the same office Thursday night at a meeting of the state party executive board — following pressure for him to step down due to problems with fundraising and personnel, and just before the board was expected to officially vote him out.
The Concord Monitor reports:
“Don’t do it, Jack!” yelled a supporter as Kimball made his announcement last night inside a Holiday Inn conference room in Concord, where onlookers gathered around a long table seating the 36-member executive committee.
“I have come to the conclusion that even if, during a vote, if I were to win - and I know the odds are against that - it would be next to impossible for me to fulfill my obligations as chairman moving forward given what’s been against me,” Kimball said. After speaking for four minutes from the head of the table, he received a standing ovation from the executive committee and those in attendance.
Someone posted to me, on an earlier thread, that Cain had 4 paid staff and thousands of volunteers in Iowa. Now, this is good news about NH. Wouldn’t it be great if Cain won Iowa, NH and then SC? All 3 in a row?
Attention Everyone: Marty60 is a troll. He tries to discredit Herman Cain and all true Conservatives. Pay him no mind.
Nice false premise you have there.....been taking notes from the Democratic play-book, eh?
I sent him another one too the other day.
Chairman of party is asked to step down due to difficulties with fundraising and personnel...
Sounds like a perfectly reasonable decision by the party.
Marty60 then infers from this that the Tea Party is being run by “unethical” people...
Demonstrating the level of logic, and degree of duplicity, Marty60 is capable of. Thanks for the demonstration Marty60. It was instructive.
Two from Tea Party with questionable activities on ONE caindidates team. HUMMMMM. Glad to see the standards have dropped.
Keep your mouths shut about Perry. He is an honest man that has worked hard for the people of Texas. Not a pathetic egomaniac with big pocket Libertarians funding him.
FOR ALL YOU PEOPLE THAT FELL FOR THE LIE THAT THE KOCH BROTHERS ARE CONSERVATIVE. surprise.
SUPPORTS SUICIDE (euthanasia) and stem cell research. SO APPARENTLY THEY ARE PRO-ABORTS (stem cells from fetus)
Like I said you are known by the company you keep.
Perry is Bush v2.0. No thanks. I’ve had enough socialism-Lite, open-borders fruitcakes... and so has the rest of America.
Liberals are literally too ignorant to participate in political discourse with conservatives. Perry is done, and Romney is going to have one giant kick in the balls coming when the primaries start.
GTFO, liberal republicans and the socialists that support you.
So you go ahead and support the hand picked candidate of the Koch Bro,who support Homosexual rights, legalization of drugs, stem cell research and are LIBERTARIANS.
Why would they back him if he didn’t (behind closed doors) agree with their agenda?
FYI, the Bush/Rove cabal are working AGAINST Perry.
But then you would know that if you bothered to do a little research.
OK marty, the logic of your argument convinced me.
I'll not speak a word about anita's boi toy, that funds ILLEGAL ALIENS with tax payer money, debates like a mute, and is a good and honest man.
But you, on the other hand, you are a jerk wagon with a penchant for outrageous stupidity.
nah, nah, nah.... shut up about about anita's boy... what a compelling reason to vote for a guy with an IQ lower than room temperature.
Fine go for the loser.
if anyone on this site wants to get involved in Cain’s campaign on the ground, ping me.
The Kochs are longtime libertarians who believe in drastically lower personal and corporate taxes, minimal social services for the needy, and much less oversight of industry—especially environmental regulation. These views dovetail with the brothers’ corporate interests. In a study released this spring, the University of Massachusetts at Amherst’s Political Economy Research Institute named Koch Industries one of the top ten air polluters in the United States. And Greenpeace issued a report identifying the company as a “kingpin of climate science denial.” The report showed that, from 2005 to 2008, the Kochs vastly outdid ExxonMobil in giving money to organizations fighting legislation related to climate change, underwriting a huge network of foundations, think tanks, and political front groups. Indeed, the brothers have funded opposition campaigns against so many Obama Administration policies—from health-care reform to the economic-stimulus program—that, in political circles, their ideological network is known as the Kochtopus.
In a statement, Koch Industries said that the Greenpeace report “distorts the environmental record of our companies.” And David Koch, in a recent, admiring article about him in New York, protested that the “radical press” had turned his family into “whipping boys,” and had exaggerated its influence on American politics. But Charles Lewis, the founder of the Center for Public Integrity, a nonpartisan watchdog group, said, “The Kochs are on a whole different level. There’s no one else who has spent this much money. The sheer dimension of it is what sets them apart. They have a pattern of lawbreaking, political manipulation, and obfuscation. I’ve been in Washington since Watergate, and I’ve never seen anything like it. They are the Standard Oil of our times.”

OH yeah:
David H. Koch was being celebrated for his generosity as a member of the board of trustees; he had recently donated $2.5 million toward the company’s upcoming season, and had given many millions before that. Koch received an award while flanked by two of the gala’s co-chairs, Blaine Trump, in a peach-colored gown, and Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg, in emerald green. Kennedy’s mother, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, had been a patron of the ballet and, coincidentally, the previous owner of a Fifth Avenue apartment that Koch had bought, in 1995, and then sold, eleven years later, for thirty-two million dollars, having found it too small.
