Hello. I'm Richard Ager. Welcome to this Friday Edition of New Hampshire Outlook. |

Joining us here in Durham, Edith Tucker of the Coos County Democrat and Jeff Feingold of the New Hampshire Business Review. In Concord, Colin Manning of the Fosters Daily Democrat and New Hampshire Public Radio Reporter Josh Rogers. Thank you all for being here. |
| Intro Super Tuesday Return to index of stories... |
The Democratic race for the Presidential nomination is all but over - barely six weeks after it started in Iowa and then New Hampshire. This week, Super Tuesday was the last chance for Sen. John Edwards to mount a challenge to the string of victories already achieved by Sen. John Kerry. It wasn't to be. So the speculation has turned to whether Edwards concluded his campaign by running for the vice-presidential spot. |
| Intro Bush Ads Return to index of stories... |
Clearly, the campaign has also started for President Bush. This week, we saw three new ads run making the case for his reelection. One of those ads has no voiceover - but still stirred controversy with its use of images from 9/11. Let's take a look at it. |
| Intro Demo AD Return to index of stories... |
Speaking of political ads, the NH Democratic Party has begun its own ad campaign aimed at Governor Benson. The ads began running on radio stations this week - here's what listeners heard: |
| Intro Fiscal Health Return to index of stories... |
The budget that took so long to hammer out last year is not standing the test of time. On Wednesday, the legislature's budget assistant told State lawmakers that the budget is not achieving the savings that were hoped for. Mike Buckley announced that instead of the anticipated surplus, we are facing a growing deficit. |
| Intro Fetal Bills Return to index of stories... |
There were three bills heard before the House criminal justice committee this week: all relate to the rights of the fetus. The first would allow a pregnant woman to use deadly force to protect her fetus, the second bill would make it a crime to cause the death of a fetus in an assault. One of the committee members objected to the language, saying there was no age limit on the fetus - whether it was one month or nine. Representative Phyllis Woods who was one of the sponsors of the bill had this answer. |
| Waxwing Return to index of stories... |
As you may have seen earlier this week, we were on the lookout for the elusive Bohemian Waxwing. Our intrepid reporter, Chip Neal, had been told there had been an "eruption" - that's a technical term - in the population of this colorful bird. So he went looking for them, and looking, and looking. Needless to say, when you seek you don't always find. But now, one birder has come to the rescue and sent us a photo. - if we can take a look at this photo from Stephen Mirick of Northwood. Edith - you told us about this story - what's the latest? |

| Drug Czars Return to index of stories... |
On Wednesday, Governor Benson followed up on a proposal he made in his State of the State address and introduced three new Drug Czars to the state. All three are volunteers. They are Ed Boyle, Paul Berube and Ken Levine. Levine is the brother of Bob Levine, who co-founded Cabletron Systems with Benson. He's also a drug prevention and intervention advocate. Paul Berube is a pastor at the Grace Fellowship Church in Nashua and Ed Boyle is an administrator at Londonderry High School. The governor announced that the three will evaluate resources and coordinate drug enforcement activities around the state. |
