| Hello/Intro Return to index of stories... |
HELLO. I'M RICHARD AGER. WELCOME TO NH OUTLOOK. AFTER MONTHS OF HESITATION, REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY CANDIDATES FORMED A NEAR STAMPEDE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE THIS WEEK. THE FRONT-RUNNER IN MANY POLLS IS MITT ROMNEY, WHO CAME TO BITTERSWEET FARM IN STRATHAM ON THURSDAY. . THE EVENT WAS TITLED "A COOKOUT WITH MITT AND ANN" - FEATURING ANN ROMNEY'S FAMOUS CHILI. IT WAS A BUCOLIC SETTING FOR ROMNEY'S OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT THAT WE WILL RUN FOR PRESIDENT. HE IS DOING SO, HE SAYS, BECAUSE PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS FAILED TO TACKLE THE PROBLEMS FACING AMERICA. SOT: Romney Announces Disk 13:02:26 It breaks my heart to see what has happened to this great country. These fading hopes make up President Obama's own misery index. It's never been higher. And what's his answer? He says this: I'm just getting started. No Mr. President, you've had your chance. We the people on this farm and citizens across the country are the ones who are just getting started. 13:02:57 JOINING ME AT THE STATE LIBRARY IN CONCORD ARE: KEVIN LANDRIGAN OF THE NASHUA TELEGRAPH JEFF FEINGOLD OF THE NH BUSINESS REVIEW NORMA LOVE OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS AND JOSH ROGERS OF NEW HAMPSHIRE PUBLIC RADIO. WELCOME ALL. |
| Discussion Budget, Romney Return to index of stories... |
1: JOSH - A PRETTY WELL ORCHESTRATED SHOW FOR MITT ROMNEY AT BITTERSWEET FARM IN STRATHAM, HOME TO FORMER HOUSE SPEAKER DOUG SCAMMAN AND HIS WIFE STELLA. 2: A LOT OF EMPHASIS ON HIS RESUME THIS TIME AROUND. HIS BUSINESS CAREER, RUNNING THE OLYMPICS - WHICH WAS REFERRED TO AS A NON-PROFIT, AND BEING A REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR IN DEMOCRATIC MASSACHUSETTS. 3: HE GAVE OBAMA CREDIT FOR THE KILLING OF OSAMA BIN LADEN - BUT OVERALL CALLED HIM A FAILURE, BLAMING HIM FOR HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT, RECORD FORECLOSURES, FALLING HOME PRICES, AND A SPIRALLING NATIONAL DEBT. DEMOCRATS WILL REFUTE THOSE CHARGES - SHOWING BENEFITS FROM THE STIMULUS. - 4: Echoes of past rhetoric: "MY GENERATION WILL PASS THE TORCH TO THE NEXT GENERATION, NOT A BILL. In his inaugural, JFK said "the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans." One jumped out at me. Romney concluded his speech saying. I'm Mitt Romney. I believe in America. And I'm running for President of the United States. I thought that's a movie line. And Michael Douglas in the title role of "The American President delivered the climax of the movie saying: "My name is Andrew Shepard and I am the President." 5: I WILL INSIST THAT WASHINGTON LEARNS TO RESPECT THE CONSTITUTION, INCLUDING THE 10TH AMENDMENT. WE WILL RETURN RESPONSIBILITY AND AUTHORITY TO THE STATES FOR DOZENS OF GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS - AND THAT BEGINS WIT H A COMPLETE REPEAL OF OBAMACARE. " 6: I SPOKE TO A COUPLE FROM STRATHAM WHO SUPPORTED JOHN MCCAIN LAST TIME - BUT THIS TIME ARE DEFINITELY FOR ROMNEY. DECIDED. AND THEY WERE ECHOING THE THEMES OF HIS SPEECH. 7: OF COURSE - THERE WERE OTHER CANDIDATES IN STATE - CROWDED WEEK. EARLIER - JOSH - YOU COVERED MICHELE BACHMAN - HOW WAS HER RECEPTION? 8: IS BACHMAN RELEVANT WITH THE SARA PALIN EXPRESS COMING TO TOWN - LEAVING EVERYONE GUESSING WHERE THEY WOULD GO - SHE PLANS TO BE IN THE JUNE 13 REPUBLICAN DEBATE. 9: LOT OF MEDIA MANIPULATION - MUCH OF THE MEDIA DISCUSSION I OVERHEARD AT THE ROMNEY EVENT WAS - HAVE YOU HEARD WHERE SARAH PALIN WILL GO? WHAT DO REPORTERS REPORT WHEN THEY HAVE NOTHING OF SUBSTANCE TO REPORT? WHAT SHE'S WEARING - OR AN EXCLUSIVE TIP THAT "Palin will be attending a clambake at a Seabrook cottage later this evening." 10: ONE PROMINENT REPUBLICAN I SPOKE WITH WAS ANGRY ABOUT THE PALIN VISIT. SHE CALLED IT A DELIBERATE ATTEMPT TO UPSTAGE THE ROMNEY EVENT. PALIN WAS QUOTED AS SAYING "It's coincidental that we are in the same territory at the same time, but more power to Mitt as he mounts his campaign and best of luck to him." 11: RUDY GUILIANI'S VISITED NORTH CONWAY ON THURSDAY. HE SAID HE WOULD DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY THIS TIME - BUT REITERATED HIS PRO-CHOICE STANCE. THIS IS HIS 7TH VISIT TO NH IN A YEAR. WOULD THAT KNOCK HIM OUT - OR DO YOU THINK HE COULD BECOME A RALLYING POINT FOR MORE MODERATE REPUBLICANS? DECISION BY THE END OF THE SUMMER. 12: SOME STATEHOUSE STUFF. ON WEDNESDAY, THE SENATE PASSED THE STATE BUDGET ALONG PARTY LINES. IT ADDED BACK $75 MILLION IN CUTS BY THE HOUSE - BUT IS STILL MORE THAN $240 MILLION LESS THAN THE GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL. IT ADDED BACK MONEY FOR the mentally ill and developmentally disabled. SENATE KILLED THE CUT IN CIGARETTE TAXES. PUT OFF VOTE ON BILL THAT WOULD DENY USE OF EMINENT DOMAIN FOR NORTHERN PASS PROJECT. It also allocates $4.2 million to the state's Children In Need of Services program, which the House sought to eliminate, that will fund the state's 50 most severe cases but leaves out hundreds of other troubled children currently receiving help. SENATE PROJECTS A $30 MILLION SURPLUS - BUT WON'T SPEND IT. SO UNIVERSITY SYSTEM GETS SLAMMED. THE HOUSE INFORMATION OFFICE SENDS OUT A LOT OF NOTICES, OFTEN FIVE OR SIX IN A DAY. ONE LOOKS FORWARD TO THE BUDGET COMMITTEE OF CONFERENCE STATING BOTH CHAMBERS "have a shared commitment to the big picture." WHAT KIND OF SHARING DO YOU EXPECT JEFF? 13: HOUSE HAS PASSED SENATE BILL 2 WHICH MAKES IT EASIER TO PASS TAX AND SPENDING CAPS. 14: ANOTHER MOVE BY THE HOUSE TO TRY TO KILL CAP AND TRADE. ATTACHING THAT PROVISION TO A SHORELINE PROTECTION BILL. THEY DID SO BECAUSE THEIR FIRST ATTEMPT WAS DEFEATED IN THE SENATE. 15: FINALLY, BEFORE WE GO - WALTER PETERSON DIED THIS WEEK. HE WAS A FORMER GOVERNOR AND NEW HAMPSHIRE'S UNOFFICIAL "ELDER STATESMEN." IN 2006, NH OUTLOOK PRESENTED A PROFILE OF WALTER PETERSON. HERE IS AN EXCERPT FROM THAT PIECE. PETERSON PROFILE SOTS: FROM TOP OF PIECE AND LAST 2 MINUTES OF PIECE. soundup: Town Meeting tape 1 09;15:40 I intend to allow one hour for the voting. Track: For more than 4 decades, Walter Peterson has been part of the public life of New Hampshire. He has entertained us as a an athlete, crafted laws as a legislator, and served as governor during tumultous times. Bite: Mayflowers Dub tape 0:00;30 . we will deal most severely with any who threaten or attempt to harm life or property. NEW TRACK: And when voters turned him out of office, Walter Peterson brought new life to a struggling college. And through it all, he has relied on his wife Dorothy for caring advice, especially when others asked for favors. NEW BITE: Governors Summit tape 09:13:55 "It has to go home. What kind of leader is that? It has to go home and talk to his wife." Well, none of those guys are married anymore. DIP TO BLACK FOR 2 SECONDS AND UP TO: SOT #2: Track: Walter Peterson has many good memories and few regrets. The biggest may be his sense that his own party has moved away from his core values. Bite: Petersons tape 2 02:41:25 SO IF YOU WERE STARTING OUT TODAY AND YOU WERE LOOKING AROUND AT THE POLITICAL SCENE TODAY, WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU WOULD END UP? Oh boy. That's a tough one. I have no problem where I ended up then because I think of myself - they call you a moderate Republican - I thought of myself as an old-fashioned conservative Republican. Bite: Petersons tape 2 02:42:55 I've been very open about having us come back to where we once were - move in that direction. I think we're going too far and if we don't watch out, we won't be a majority party. We'll be a minority party again. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT LAST PIECE OF ADVICE FROM GOVERNOR PETERSON? CHERISHED EDUCATION - RAN FRANKLIN PIERCE COLLEGE AND UNH. IF YOU'D LIKE TO SEE THE FULL PROFILE OF WALTER PETERSON, GO TO OUR WEBSITE AT NHPTV.ORG/OUTLOOK. THANK YOU ALL - I'M RICHARD AGER - JOIN US FOR THE NEXT NH OUTLOOK. |
