Charlie Bass, our Republican incumbent US rep, standing for re-election, held a spaghetti dinner at the Littleton VFW hall the other night. I went, along with a whole bunch of other Republicans. I've been around long enough that I knew nearly everyone in the room by name. And I'm bad on names. To the left, we have Charlie, saying a few appropriate words, from the podium. Too bad the airconditioner shows up bigger than the candidate.
Here we have Ovide Lamontagne, Republican candidate for governor of NH. Very nice guy, also being upstaged by that air conditioner. I estimate his chances of election as decent, not a sure thing, but decent. His democratic opponent talks too much about tax hikes.
Ovide shaking hands with youngest son, Jonathan. I didn't get a photo of Ovide and a very cute little girl.
Anyhow, that's what the NH Republican establishment looks like in their native habitat. We had nearly every important Republican in the state at this remote upcountry shindig. We only missed Kelly Ayotte (US Senator) and Bill O'Brien (Speaker of NH house) but we had just about everyone else.
In the old days this place would be referred to as a "smoke filled room". Nobody in this country smokes anymore, and they don't allow smoking indoors most places, so that colorful description is going out of date.
Anyhow a good time was had by all.
