Sarah Palin may be a media phenom, but disgruntled New Hampshire Republican leaders are still waiting to learn when the top GOP contender will visit the key primary state.
“Several groups have asked her to come, but she’s playing it cool,” said Diane Bitter, chairwoman of the Rye Republican Town Committee. “Last year we were told that she wouldn’t come, and recently people have gotten the same response.”
The first state in the nation to hold a presidential primary, New Hampshire is already seeing GOP presidential hopefuls canvass the state. Newt Gingrich, Rudy Giuliani, U.S. Rep. Mike Pence of Indiana, former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, and Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty all have visited in recent months, and Mitt Romney — who owns a vacation home in Wolfeboro — is a frequent glad-hander and fund-raiser in the state.
Palin, meanwhile, has repeatedly ignored requests for appearances, according to town committee leaders.
“A lot of people are surprised Palin hasn’t made a visit or contact,” said Manchester GOP chairman Cliff Hurst. “Maybe she’s getting enough press as it is.”
“If she’s running for president, she’s doing it in a different way, that we know,” said Dennis Hogan, Nashua GOP chairman, adding, “but different sometimes works.”
As the Herald reported yesterday, the former Alaska governor has overshadowed Romney with a bestselling book, a hit reality show, and regular appearances on Fox News.
But analysts warn if Palin intends to skip Main Street meet-and-greets in favor of TV and Twitter, she may miss out on Granite State votes.
“I get the impression that (Palin) is generally more interested in running a media-based campaign, rather than a grassroots campaign,” said Jennifer Lucas, assistant professor of politics at St. Anselm College in Manchester. “Here in New Hampshire, there’s no evidence that works.”
When the goin' gets tough----quit.
Well, you haven’t quit being a Palin thread troll. Remind me not to die in your hospice.
LOL!
That was good. ;o)
HospiceTroll...lol
TOUCHE! LOL!!!
You should change your name to leftist troll...
I think the whole primary system is beginning to show how outdated it is. In this internet era will it last another two elections?
50 states, 1 Sarah.
I still don’t think she should run for POTUS, but I think her work as a firebrand has been outstanding!
Right now she is a Leatherman multitool.
Should she run, she will be just a blunt butter knife.
Wanker for Willard ?
Don't die in my hospice. (as ordered 2:24,12/1/2010, HN)
>>You should change your name to leftist troll...<<
May I suggest that to tag someone who disagrees with you as a “leftist” is a standard liberal tactic?
This is simply a case of whether Mrs. Palin is the proper POTUS candidate.
Now, had the OP supported Romney, THAT would be a post from a leftist troll...
“YOU JACKWAGON” ping !!
Go Gunny !
You serve your mistress well! Very witty- sophisticated even.
>>Don’t die in my hospice. (as ordered 2:24,12/1/2010, HN)<<
You are very responsive :)
Remind me to collect a million dollars first chance I get...
I have never supported Romney, but that is the common pejorative on pro-palin posts. Never refute, just name call. Very progressive.
Thanks!
I have seen that commercial uncountable times and it cracks me up every time. The humor coup de gras is when Gunny throws the tissue box at the jackwagon... :)
I am LOL even describing it!
:) :)
How long you been working at Kevorkian’s Clinic ?

I think we are on accord here... I hope so anyway.
I didn’t know there was any linkage between Romney and Palin: I was just joking about the commies who like the cut of Romney’s jib.
If I was unclear then I blame Dobby!
