(In Print Edition of Union Leader)
This week the Republican Party decided to have a press conference on spending and remind us why they are the minority party in the state. We have a fiscal crisis without question. GOP legislative leadership rarely has press conferences so this was no doubt going to be a significant initiative.

Three days before the nationally-watched election, Scozzafava dropped out to endorse Democrat candidate Bill Owens, who narrowly defeated conservative challenger Gary Hoffman.

"They were right," Gingrich declared in an interview with New Hampshire Watchdog and WNTK Radio.
