It's not just New Hampshire. Here in the Ozarks I see 4' x 8' road side signs with a candidates name on it and which office he is running for. Nothing else. I guess I'm suppose to get on line and google these folks and learn for myself if I like their positions or not. Just seem odd that all we get is a sign and a name. But I will confess I have entered the voting booth and had to guess as to whom I'd cast my vote for. The dearth of information on candidates is widespread. You'd think the interwebs would have solved that problem, but I think it has increased the background noise to a level we cannot trust anything a candidate says, writes, or implies. Who knows what exactly is in someone's heart. But I'd rather make a guess with an unknown Republican candidate rather than vote for a known Democrat. They are pure evil and back rotten political positions.
In my opinion three is nothing worse than a RINO at least a Democrat tells you what they will do. This guy believes in equity and inclusiveness but his 2 staffers are white dudes.
Maybe they are the best candidates for the job? Is he suppose to do an affirmative action hire just to keep the masses happy and content or does he pick the best two people who have a like minded approach for his campaign and who happen to be white dudes? I don't know this guy, so I'm only guessing. You are more closer to the situation. Go to his office and ask. Do not be afraid of these politicians, they are wanting to work for you. You can control their thinking, but you have to express your concern to them and face to face is how I like to talk to folks. (Interwebs excluded, of course). The control comes when you put them on record as to how they are going to vote on a certain issue. If they vote differently than they told you, then take the recording and excoriate the media with it. Show how he is a liar. Pretty simple, but it does take some leg work.
After reading this article I didn't talk to him. If our RINO governor endorsed him then that tells me everything I need to know. But you are right and next time I will be sure to ask questions no matter who walks through the door. Thank you
"The dearth of information on candidates is widespread."
You hit the nail on the head, fren. I always research candidates before I vote. In our recent election, however, I struggled to find information on the candidates. The usual places online that I go to had next to nothing on the candidates. There was one office where I could only find information on three candidates. I thought that was all there was. I was stunned when I got in the voting booth and saw something like 15 candidates and that I was supposed to vote for 5 men and 5 women. It became a guessing game at this point.
It should be a law that every candidate has to do a write-up on their positions and it should be publicly posted online and in the local newspapers, etc. I shouldn't have to guess. it's no wonder we end up with so many lousy politicians.
Its becoming obvious we are at a "What about Bob" therapy moment. Do we really need to have bombs taped to us in order to 'shock' us into a state of reality?

Its becoming obvious we are at a "What about Bob" therapy moment. Do we really need to have bombs taped to us in order to 'shock' us into a state of reality?
Rings are more electable in states like that,is the primary over with?
Not yet
If you find a good candidate volunteer to help with signs or passes out doorknockers. Passionate grass roots support like that is better than money.
Agreed.... if I found someone I could get behind I would!
Why are you glad you didn’t ask him questions?
Grow some fucking balls!
After reading this article he's not someone I would vote for.... would of been a waste of time or so I thought in the moment. Won't happen again....
