Facts are silly things

NH Business Review Staff,

It’s always an instructive experience when Jennifer Donahue, senior adviser for political affairs at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at Saint Anselm College, appears on New Hampshire Public Radio’s “The Exchange.”

In a March 9 appearance, Donahue, expounding on the then-budding presidential race and New Hampshire’s role in it, taught listeners about the Granite State’s three electoral votes, one fewer than we actually have. That means she may have either dropped one of our congressional districts from her calculations or forgot that we have two U.S. senators.

More recently, on July 6, Donahue was invited aboard “The Exchange” to discuss the effect of Democratic vice presidential candidate John Edwards will have on the campaign. This time her exposition included a reference to Edwards’ second-place finish in New Hampshire – a generous amount of spin if there ever was any.

Edwards, for all his charm and ability on the stump, finished fourth in the 2004 primary.

Unbottling the Nongfu Spring deal

New Hampshire’s attorney general says no improprieties by state officials preceded the sale of a large Nashua commercial building to China’s largest water bottler. But Attorney General John Formella’s report to Gov. Kelly Ayotte dated Oct. 3 says the provisions of federal law should have taken place prior to the sale of the 337,391-square-foot building at 80 Northwest Blvd. in Nashua by a subsidiary of Nongfu Spring.
