Ron Paul needs to make sure NH knows where he stands on this project. And where he ALWAYS has stood on this kind of eminent domain for private profit. Unlike Gingrich, RON PAUL has always been consistent on this sort of thing.

To be fair to Newt this is a slam dunk to win voters in NH. The grassroots paved the way with newspaper ads but there wasn't any follow up by the campaign that I'm aware of. I'm surprised it took so long for a candidate to claim the issue as their own.

Ron hit Newt on eminent domain at a New Hampshire debate, about a landfill in Nevada.

At least I'm pretty sure that was the case.

Ron Paul has to stress the Northern Pass issue during the two debates.

Doesn't hit with NH voters though...
Hopefully this will come up in the debate.

At the same time; the campaign has internal polling; I'm sure they know where the voters are on this issue.

In the NV debate, candidates were asked about the nuclear land fill issue -- ALL candidates said it was a matter of paying NV enough money and ONLY Ron Paul said it was a State's right issue.

Newt saw the ad and jacked our platform...typical...

Maybe Ron can bring this up first in the debate.

I am almost sure at least some had the same position as Paul, I remember something abut Rick Perry saying he agreed with what Paul said during that debate on the issue.

That would make a good video -- I think it was 3 responses "paying and negotiating) vs Ron Paul's statement.
Easy to find.

I don't know anything about the NH one mentioned -- perhaps cut them together.

 

[Lord Xar]

I emailed doug wead and jack hunter about this issue 2x ea. Some weeks ago.

So.. they cant say they didnt know.

Here is how Gingrich is selling this issue to NH. He claims he would do everything to protect eminent domain. Says that the lines can be buried underground "only" using highway right of ways and we have the technology to do that plus the state could lease the right of ways to the companies doing the project making money for the state.

This. Another area I saw here over a month ago, yet NOTHING from the campaign. It's absolutely ridiculous. How about they actually start with some more POSITIVE messages, about what RP will do, and address the issues...instead of waiting to run negative ads on candidates that pop up overnight.
