Peter Bragdon, NH State Senate President (R-Milford)
Boston, MA – Mitt Romney today announced the endorsement of New Hampshire State Senate President Peter Bragdon (R-Milford). He joins Senate Majority Leader Jeb Bradley (R-Wolfeboro) and Senators Chuck Morse (R-Salem), David Boutin (R-Hooksett), Gary Lambert (R-Nashua), Tom DeBlois (R-Manchester), Jim Rausch (R-Derry), Jack Barnes (R-Raymond) and Russell Prescott (R-Exeter).
“Senate President Bragdon has consistently fought to reduce the size of government and control runaway spending in Concord. He has demonstrated a deep commitment to fiscal responsibility by helping to balance New Hampshire’s state budget during challenging economic times without raising taxes,” said Mitt Romney. “I am honored to have earned his support and look forward to campaigning with him across the Granite State in the final weeks before the primary.”
Announcing his support, Senate President Bragdon said, “Governor Romney has the experience, skills and background required to address the economic challenges facing our country today. As a successful businessman and a fiscally responsible governor, Mitt knows how to balance budgets, cut spending and turn around struggling enterprises. He is head and shoulders above the rest of the Republican field and clearly the strongest candidate to take on President Obama in 2012. He is the right leader at the right time to lead our party and undo the damage caused by the failed Obama economic policies.”

To MITT & ANN;(1st) The left will VOTE FOR A MODERATE not a conservative like Newt. (2nd) A conservative (NEWT) will not get the independent vote either. THESE 2 groups are in your (Mitt) favor. You have one more group to campaign strongly.
Mitt;
You will win handily if you campaign “LEFT-OVERS (punn).. as well as the above; (3rd) The “Obama-maniacs” voters from 2008 who want to leave Obama’s Camp if they can find a MODERATE CONSERVATIVE they trust. Newt is a (bad word here) STAUNCH conservative & moderate HAS NEVER been his game. These “Disenchanted” 2008 faithful voters are the ones who are looking to the “Moderate Right” not so much the “Conservative Right”. This social axiom is imperative to know. These “Obamamaniacs”… “WILL NOT LIKE” an emotional type- (Newt) – this makes it hard for them to trust him. These “Admitted Obama-maniacs”… “WILL LIKE” (and trust)- A bookworm , C.E.O. , business type, PROFESSIONAL, Somewhat Geeky Would be Good”, non conservative edges. Mitt; You are in the “WIND” with the left & right as… “THEE MODERATE” and that will get you the Presidency. “MODERATE” is a MAGIC word to the EARS of the dissenchanted left. The left can live with a moderate republican. Those disgruntled, disrespected, DESOLATE, definitely doomed ….Obama Faithfuls WANT OUT NOW and they won’t bail on Obama unless a MODERATE is in the race.
gee, stephen, not sure where you going with the diatribe about trying to label Romney as the “moderate” and Newt as the “conservative.” sounds to me like you are a Newt troll. to say that Newt is the “conservative” in 2011 makes me want to choke. if you somehow have been asleep for the past 20 yrs and just this moment woke up, I might give you a pass, and if so, perhaps you should take some time to acquaint yourself to Newt’s more recent and very recent stances on: abortion, marriage, illegal immigration, fiscal policies (eg Paul Ryan’s proposal), global warming, … a good little clip for you to listen to is Karl Rove who said it is very risky for Newt to be taking the tack to pretend to be “the most conservative:” http://video.foxnews.com/v/1301179984001/
