We have met many presidential primary candidates over the years. We have always let our readers know who we thought to be the best choice among the many contenders.
We already let you know that Nikki Haley is our choice on the Republican ticket. Some of you may be handed a Democratic ballot on Tuesday and if so, you should consider Dean Phillips.
Dean Phillips and Nikki Haley share some common traits, not just a shared birthday (it was this past Saturday for both of them and they each spent it where a presidential candidate should, on the trail in New Hampshire). They both talk about term limits. They both talk about the problems of ballooning national deficits and debt. They both profess to offer pragmatic leadership and understand the constitutional limits on presidential power. Importantly, they are both in this race to offer a reasonable alternative to the Trump/Biden rematch we are told is inevitable.
We certainly don’t agree with Congressman Phillips on all of his policy positions. While he has identified important priorities, his proposed solutions will be a hard sell for anyone to the right of center. For anyone who supports Joe Biden for his policies but would prefer a president born during the Vietnam war rather than WWII, they will not be disappointed with Dean Phillips.
Most importantly, Dean Philips is on the ballot and actively campaigning in the Granite State. We wish him luck and encourage those receiving a Democratic ballot to consider Dean Phillips.
We will now give you careful instructions on how to cast a ballot for Dean Phillips. Step 1 - Find Dean Phillips’ name and fill in the circle next to it. Step 2 – (There is no step 2).
Editor’s Note: The following is by Publisher Chuck Douglas, writing in his Bow Times newspaper. We recommend his view to our readers.
Eagle eyed readers might have noticed the cover price of this newspaper is a bit higher this morning. While we have resisted raising the price of the newspaper for the past several years, we are not immune from the forces that have been driving the economy over that time.
Regarding the dispute over a Derry Rail Trail crossing at the new Exit 4A on I-93, we are all for saving the public’s time and money. If the project were in a much earlier stage, we might favor shutting it down and letting bikers and hikers find other areas for recreation.
Good for Chris Sununu taking a pass on a U.S. Senate race. Politics as one’s only or primary career is good neither for the office-seeker nor for the public he or she is trying to represent.
In explaining his 90-day pause in enacting extremely high tariffs, President Donald Trump said he saw that people were getting a little bit jumpy and a little “yippy.”
A House-passed plan to end all state auto inspections would leave New Hampshire highway safety in the hands of the same yahoos who (a) drive 100 mph or (b) drive the wrong way or (c) drive while under the influence.
New Hampshire is not a home-rule state. But it likes to think as one on many matters, respecting its citizens to exercise local control.
