Marco Rubio was not the only Republican at the Rockingham GOP event.

last friday and several candidates for various offices talked to me.

I spoke to Col Gary Lambert who is running in the 2nd District:

Gary is a strong 2nd amendment fellow.

Several candidates for the GOP nomination for the US senate were there, I spoke to Jim Rubens:

and the candidate I have endorsed in the race Karen Testerman

Senator Brown was friendly but passed on an interview (his wife actually didn’t recognize me, I don’t get that too often, but in fairness I wasn’t wearing the scarf when I covered the Brown Campaign & I shaved my gray beard this week.

I also got a few minutes with former Governor & Whitehouse Chief of Staff under the 1st George Bush John Sununu

He pinch hit for Kelly Ayotte whose plane was delayed keeping her from the event, and he had one of the lines of the night when he talked about the election of Ronald Reagan:

We had a president almost as bad as we have now.

That is the real accomplishment of Barack Obama, he has managed to in the eyes of many surpass Jimmy Carter as the worst president in our lifetimes.

If only we had a president like this fellow

Even at his age I’d take him over who we have.

My initial post with the photos to download will be up at 2 p.m. EST on Aug 22nd. Other interviews will be up during the week.

During my door to door travels I have been to dozens of town in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. One of the businesses you find in every town is a cleaners and no matter what cleaners I’ve visited I’ve asked two questions. The first if they were interested in an ad on the show and the 2nd if they cleaned Fedoras. Invariably I got the same answer for both: No.

However Monday I visited Kacio cleaners (pronounced Cassio) in the Johnny Appleseed plaza (Central Street) in Leominster and lo and behold they not only clean fedora but are my newest advertiser.

I was so pleased with my now clean hat I immediately gave them the suit and hat I was wearing and changed into the newly cleaned suit. I plan on giving them a hat a week till all my on-hand fedoras are clean. When my other hats rotate back in I’ll get them cleaned too.

Add to that the free button and minor repairs and they are sure to be my regular cleaners from now on.

I talked to Sam Bradley of Protective Home Services about the alarm business.

There are certain business’ have a particular appeal in hard times, this is one of them.
