John McCain and New Hampshire Governor Lynch are too Close
There has been a theory by New Hampshire Republicans that John McCain’s nomination could be a very good thing for New Hampshire. The theory goes something like this; John McCain is very popular in New Hampshire and will draw many New Hampshire Independents to the polls as well as some Democrats across the isle to vote for McCain. The trickle down effect would be that more Republicans would then oust incumbent Democrats and possible even oust Governor John Lynch.
That theory is nothing but a pipe dream if you ask me and this article from the New Hampshire Union Leader gives us a prime example of why.
During a time in which Republicans in New Hampshire are trying to rid the state of the fiscally irresponsible, tax and spend Democrats up to and including Governor Lynch does John McCain show any support to Joe Kenney, the Republican candidate for governor? No, as a matter of fact he is busy playing kissy face with Governor John Lynch.
MUTUAL ADMIRATION between Republican presidential candidate John McCain and Democratic Gov. John Lynch continued last week.
Riding on the “Straight Talk Express” bus from his Nashua town hall meeting to the airport in Manchester on Thursday, McCain received a telephone call from New Hampshire’s top Democrat — our governor.
It was described to us as a friendly chat. Small talk. Lynch essentially welcomed the Arizona senator back to the Granite State.
But it is more than just that, back in October this is what the Republican turncoat had to say:
McCain that day called Lynch a “great governor” and thanked him for governing the state in a “bipartisan fashion.”
You know what Senator McCain? You are not helping us here, please just leave us alone. We don’t want you here basically endorsing John Lynch over the Republican candidate. You don’t know what is going on in this state, please just shut up.
You have worked against the national Republicans for eight years and now you are working against New Hampshire Republicans. Go home.
America's Watchtower 
I tried to warn people about this, McCain is nothing but a wolf in sheep’s clothing. He is NO REPUBLICAN.
I say, let Obama win and we can blame the Democrats for all the bad stuff that is about to come down.
I won’t vote for Obama, but I won’t vote for McCain either.
Aside from all the other things wrong that he believes in, he also is not a trustworthy person to be sure.

McCain does not have to “reach” across the aisle. He doesn’t even have to move an inch. I think I saw him sitting right in Bela Pelosi’s lap.

No Lynch is not going to lose but McCain may help Sununu.

That would be a plus.

NH, I almost agree with letting the Democrats win, but I am afraid the damage would be too great.

Yes I agree with you about Obama, but I’m not sure what you can do when you have a Republican that is playing both sides and basically heading the exact same direction as Obama — more war, more uniting with the other two countries, more pandering to the illegals… good grief! What’s the difference?
Ben: How in heck is McCain helping Sununu?
What about this from DiStaso?
“McCAIN-KENNEY-SUNUNU: ……Don’t expect the McCain camp
to embrace Kenney. Don’t expect Joe to join New Hampshire Sen. John Sununu and McCain on stage at the next town hall.”
What kind of nonsense is this? Why was Joe relegated to the ‘cheap seats’?
We are not going to stand for this and local candidates who don’t mind pointing this out should not suffer from people who think they are being ‘republican’ because they are going to go along with McCain who basically is supporting and supported BY Democrats… Democrat newspapers.
Just look at his website! He may as well be a Democrat.

OK here is another quote I found:
The Romney campaign seized on the Lynch-friendly remarks – which came a day
after McCain said some not-so-friendly things about Romney – to question
McCain’s conservative bona fides.
“Only John McCain would criticize a fellow Republican one day and then campaign
with a Democrat the next,” Jim Merrill, Romney’s state director, said in a
statement. “At a town hall meeting yesterday, McCain stood alongside the
Democrat governor of New Hampshire, John Lynch, and said ‘America needs more of
what you’ve done here in the State of New Hampshire.’ ”
It’s like the drilling oil situation: How can you be pushing for doing something about global warming and suggesting we drill in ANWR at the same time? Aren’t these things mutually exclusive?
I guess it’s called pandering…?

The Sununu theory was something I read in the paper. THe theory was that because McCain was popular he would bring out the independent vote and those people he brought out would also vote for Sununu. It doesn’t appear to have worked that way, does it?
You are right, there really isn’t much of a difference between McCain and Obama.
Love that Romney quote, it sums up McCain nicely.
Joe Kenney should have been onstage with them, there is no excuse for pushing him off to the side.
