You know he's the Tea Partier in the race, right?

I can't forgive Hassan for threatening to veto marijuana legalization.

Right I figured that, so I'd understand no endorsement, one of Hassan's no-name primary challengers, one of the no-name candidates in the Republican primary, a third party candidate if there are any, or Walt Havenstein, the frontrunner for the Republican primary and the more mainstream/moderate of the two. But why Hemingway, the Tea Partier? Just because he supports medical marijuana more than Hassan does? I'm sorry if I sound aggressive, but you must be able to see why this makes very little sense to me.

Also worth noting that one of Hassan's primary challengers is a pedophile.

He's also a libertarian posing as a Democrat, but the fact that he literally opposes an age of consent should be concerning to anyone.

TBF, it wasn't going to pass anyways. The GOP-controlled NH Senate already said they wouldn't take it up and Hassan, like Dayton, at least put her views on the matter aside and legalized medical marijuana. I have to agree with NHLiberal on this. Hassan has done a phenomenal job as Governor and I don't see how one, small issue should be enough of a reason not to endorse her and support a Tea Partier instead.

Hassan has always been pro-medicinal, even in her days as a state senator. Aside from her views on marijuana (which, although is a big issue for me, but nevertheless one issue), she has a strong sense on what's best for New Hampshire, and I look forward to a long term from her in Concord.

As for her support for Schwartz, if she won the nomination, she would have been acceptable to me. Corbett is dead in the water anyway.

PA - Yeah, I'm not endorsing Wolf.

What's wrong with Wolf?

I know I say this a lot, but Wolf as a millionaire used his own money and some loans to essentially buy himself the nomination all while FitzGerald is literally campaigning his heart and soul out here in Ohio and besides financial help from the state party and individual donors, doesn't get squat. FitzGerald has managed one radio ad with the little money he has while Wolf had a total ad blitz and for Wolf to get all this praise and more outside help is despicable.

Wolf also let his own workers be laid off after once abandoning his company while guaranteeing a huge payload for himself. Plus, while the McCord ad was viewed in bad taste, I can feel for McCord since he does have a black wife and I myself have a few black friends and the fact that Wolf could actually chair the campaign of a total racist is by no means forgivable, whether he asked Robertson to drop out of the race for York Mayor or not. I agree with him on the issues, but ethically, he's totally in the wrong.

Senator Blanche Lincoln would like to tell you about how she bought her Senate seat in 2010 with all that money.

Not even going to address McCord's blatant race-baiting. Funny how I've only seen one anti-Wolf person criticize McCord for his attacks on him.

AK - Walker
MA - Falchuk (pretty sure he's to the left of Coakley, but United Independents)
NY - Hawkins
SC - Reeves (Whatever he's from)
TN - Infante (Green)

FitzGerald still gets the endorsement for hooking up with the MILF.
