Will this leave ms. Horn with less time to ponticate? If so, I am in favor of this move!

Can it get any more divided?

ha ha ha! its gets funnier every day!

Competition is usually good. There are sometimes good things that come out of political battles.

Sometimes the winner, after a close fight, will better respect the opposition's point of veiw, the way in which that person competed, and even adopt or collaborate to unify the rank and file.

Sometimes, though, unfortunately, some who squeek by think that God has made them all powerful and it further emboldens them to kick their competitors to the curb.

So a good fight can bring out the best, or the worst in people.

It puts people to the test.

It's up to the combatants to make it what ever it turns out to be.

I sincerely hope it splits the party. What NH has experienced during the last few years of Republican House "leadership" should never happen again.

I didn't vote, because I'm just not sure.

This is a no brainer. Horn has been wrong and lost at everything else she's done.

Perhaps there should be a third choice? But one that brings the party back to its roots

Horn's articles and beliefs are so far out that she should not be the NHGOP leader. It's a no brainer. I would like to see less of her articles in Patch as well.

Republicans are already a defeated and divided political party on the wrong side
of history and should be on the Endangered species list. Only an Independant
would pose a threat to Democrats and that is an unlikely Scenario given their tunnel vision.

When it comes to Chairing NH's GOP, Andrew Hemingway isn't just the usual "wanna' be".........he is a "wanna' DO". While Mrs. Horn will likely be going on about "re-branding" the Republican Party, and beginning a lengthy process of examination about where things went wrong in 2012 (and 2008), Hemingway knows that there's little time for the party to engage in navel exploration~what the NH GOP needs is a leader who will figure out how to bring together voters of both parties, and independents, who want to see something get done for a change. He will accomplish this task without compromising the GOP's core values, recognizing that NH voters of all stripes favor a limited government that does the things its intended to do. We don't need the current party "leadership"...the incumbents who blew it...to figure out how to better "comminicate". We need someone to reassert the GOP's standing as unifying Americans who want progress, seen in "nuts and bolts" and not just modified rhetoric. Hemingway is the one best suited to do this ~ period.

The GOP just blew a 3-1 lead in the NH House in an election against a President with the worst economic record since Hoover. We need someone who can reach out with the Republican message of economic growth and personal freedom to ALL of the families in NH, not just five.

Governor John Lynch elected 4 times served 8 years.
The longest consecutive Governor in the history of
New Hampshire, Governor Lynch loved people and the
people of New Hampshire loved Governor John Lynch.
His non strident tone and governing style reaching across
the Partisan party lines to solve problems and produce
results working with Republicans and Democrats.
The people of New Hampshire have had 8 years of a
governor that walked with them during Natural disasters
And securing federal funds, FEMA Coordinating.
" Voters really don't care how much you know
until they know how much you care ".
This would be a hard lesson for Republicans to grasp and impletment in to Sincerity and political Perception.
The harsh political fact is that Democrats seem to care more about people the Republicans do.

Divided? In to what? The insanity wing and the ignorance wing?

NH once enjoyed a longstanding tradition of socially-responsible, fiscally-conservative Republican leadership. It provided New Hampshire with reasonable growth, stable business environment and hope for all our families. There was respect for individuals involved in the process, respect for the work being done, and respect for the voters who sent us there to do the work. Since the 1980's we have seen many able moderates in the party singled out and variously harrassed, ejected and hurled from positions of party leadership. I worked with some of those moderates many years ago, and I deeply regret the transition of a granite-state Republican party founded in the values of common sense and public service to one that has much closer ties to the imported values of winner-take-all, money-talks politics. I know moderates in the party now who are capable, willing and committed to offer leadership that could serve all NH and its people. I would love to see the Republicans in our state return to the heartland values of respect for the individual and seeking the common good for NH families. And get the big money out of the process.

Have some, draft ken erling to lead GOP.

Further note: My primary objection to the selection of Sarah Palin never was about her actual credentials -- it was the thought of how many highly-qualified and skilled Republican women they had to climb over to find her and put her front and center of the national party. As a NH Democrat, I could name four Republican women in my state who should have been chosen before anyone boarded Alaska Air. Add to that the national figures who had gained standing in the eyes of the American people, and you begin to have a concept of what a bad idea that was.

Good luck Andrew!

The "Establishment" is the ones that split the party. When Jack Kimball won the last election, they threw a hissy fit and held back money and did everything in their power to undermine him. So if Jennifer Horn loses, expect more of the same.

If I am fortunate enough to be elected as a voting delegate, I would at this point vote for Andrew Hemingway. He has bridged many of the factions within the Republican Party. He has been involved in campaigns for main stream candidates (e.g. Gingrich) and is a pioneer in social media in political campaigns. The future of the Republican Party with young people depends on how well we employ social media to express our values in media young people use. Andrew Hemingway is one person who has done that successfully. Unless a better candidate emerges, Andrew Hemingway if I am elected, would get my vote.

At least the republican know what's dividing them. .
I don't think we should be so concerned with what's dividing the parties, but what is dividing this nation. maybe it's time for two smaller government's.

It's great when people flap their gums and critize the only two people who have the guts to take on the thankless Payless job in the first place.

I heard them both speak at the Hillsborough County Caucus. Andrew was fresh, dynamic, knowledgable and experienced. He has my vote in January.

At least we can be sure that neither of them will be caught cruising the little 'boy' sex shops in Amsterdam! LOL...

I'm personally hoping we get to a point where collectively, we liberty lovers are represented by people who really do believe that all humans are created equal and have a least a middle school comprehension of the female anatomy. I'm sick and embarrassed defending my position as a Republican. Can't we get back to what we do best as NH Republicans; low taxes, fiscal discipline and more of a libertarian "live and let live" perspective on social issues?

Are you kidding me? The democratic party has been taken over by spend and tax liberals. I have voted for many in the past and even then I wouldn't consider them to have " fiscal disipline"
