Another Possible Republican Cadidate for New Hampshire Governor

 New Hampshire may now have a second Republican candidate for governor. His name is James Adams and he seems to have party insiders excited. For whatever reason party insiders aren’t real excited about their other candidate, Joe Kenney. Several Republicans have considered taking on the popular, liberal governor of New Hampshire, John Lynch, including the mayor of Manchester, but they have all decided against it.

 Now Republicans may have a couple of options in the election. Here is what New Hampshire GOP chairman, Fergus Cullen had to say about Adams, who would be running for his first elective office:

“Jim’s initial strengths are management experience with a large organization with large budgets and a less tangible set of political skills that comes from rising to the top in a large political, bureaucratic organization and staying there,” he said.

 I don’t know anything about this man, but here is a little about where he stands on taxing and spending:

“I was concerned with the state of the economy and with the 17.5 percent spending increase in the state budget,” he said. “Where I came from, that sort of budget would have meant the individual in charge would no longer be there.”

Adams called Democratic Gov. John Lynch “a good man and a very popular governor,” but he believes the budget and government can be cut.

He took the anti-broad based tax pledge in an interview

 He is on the right side of this issue, that is for sure. If Adams decides to run it will be interesting to hear both of these candidates on the issues. I may not know much about these men right now, but I will learn all that I can about them during the primary season. It looks to be interesting.

 I will leave you with a good quote from Joe Kenney on liberal John Lynch’s plan to tax Texas Hold’em card games that raise money for charities that would effectively leave 10% less money to go to the charities the games are supposed to benefit.

Kenney has been calling Lynch’s new plan for a higher cigarette tax and a tax on Texas Hold ‘Em charity games “tax and hold ’em,” Crane said.

 It looks to be interesting in New Hampshire this election year. I am still holding out a faint hope that Republicans in New Hampshire can gain control and stop the bleeding that liberal Democrats have started in regard to taxes.
