The NHexit.US blog has a detailed story looking at what happened to the 13 state representatives who voted for the NH Independence bill this year, CACR 32. How many of them were re-elected? Turns out, of those who ran again and made it to the general election, 100% of them were re-elected!
Despite the democrats trying to make secession an issue, and despite the fears of the state reps who were too cowardly to vote for the bill, we now know that being in favor of NH independence, or at least being in favor of letting the people vote on the question – which is all the bill would have done – is not a guaranteed end to a state rep’s career.

Given your bizarre, stalker-ish obsession with Russ Roberts and Cafe Hayek, I'm guessing that the true paid shill here is you. Where do you get your funding?
I wonder why Berstein kept defending the stimulus and constantly denying that there is any corruption in a large spending bill like this coming out of Washington. Oh wait, He worked for the Obama administration. Do you really think we're dumb enough to believe that there are no favors for friends in a trillion dollar spending package, Mr Bernstein? Do you expect us to believe that there's no waste? Makes me wonder why they picked him to argue for Keynes and not somebody who could at least make a somewhat believable claim as a non-partisan. Not a Washington insider from… Read more »
