Oh for chrissakes, it’s right on the western border of NH. Not even close to the northern border…not even. This is such a lot of horse**it. He was spot on.

“…Sullivan County is west of Concord. It’s not north of Concord…”

It doesn’t matter.

Scott Brown is a carpet-bagging career politician.

If you stretch your imagination, there’s a fragment of Sullivan County that reaches farther north than Concord. But to say that the county is “north of Concord” is purely ignorant, as Brown clearly was. New Hampshire treated him better than he deserved to be.

And the idea that debate moderators need to let lies or whopping misstatements pass without comment is as asinine as Scott Brown’s campaign was.

Go West, Mr. Brown, to Vermont in 2016!

Where Brown can suffer his third a a row defeat in a run for the U.S. Senate. Yeah!

Sullivan County is not in Northern NH. Pindell was correct, Brown was wrong. Pindell should not have apologized.

Anyone who actually lives in NH will tell you that Northern NH is Coos County, and Grafton and Carroll if you insist. Anyone from NH who watched the debate – no matter whose side they were on – cringed when Brown answered that question.

Here’s another fact: Ann Coulter is an asshole.

True but he broke a rule. His issued a “gotcha” to a GOP’er. Now, it you want to set up a Democrat and then say she disqualified herself with her response…that’s OK. But you don’t do it to a GOP’er even if the issue is he’s a carpetbagger and he gave an answer fitting that description.

He puts the lotion on the skin or he gets the hose again…

I live in Florida and it’s technically true…that Jacksonville is to the west of Daytona. But if you came here from another State professing to have a life long bond to the Sunshine State and referred to Jax being to the west…you would be done.

I am not from NH but I did look at a map and there is no way North is appropriate. Nor is it OK to elect a man with such a low bar for accuracy or one that expects powder puff treatment when he fucks up big time.

Dude probably got death threats from RWNJs.

With Citizens United and McCutcheon decisions ruling politics, carpetbaggers like Scott Brown are enabled. And here is what they are enabled for: they can make their (well-off) livings by fund-raising for phoney campaigns and never have to serve a day working any elected position. For when you win, you must retain the funds to run another campaign but if you lose, you become the campaign and your sustenance part of the overall campaign effort. So instead of professional politicians, these rulings have spawned professional campaigners!
And, it’s jobs creation for campaign advisors, poll-takers, etc. etc. Why can’t America just build cars without pieces from overseas “outsourced” manufacturers that are killing people? That’s jobs creation with a real purpose!

I don’t know anything about New Hampshire. But in Michigan, Flint is actually “north” of Detroit. Nobody in Detroit or Michigan would consider Flint “up north.” Only a carpetbagger would say something like that.

Is anyone else finding that most of the stories aren’t allowing comments?

so here’s what happened - - on the night before the election Ann Coulter, the bomb-throwing right-wing pundit, dressed in camouflage & covered with face paint … stealthily crawled into Pindell’s — or as she would say “James Pinhead’s” — dwelling … and… with a commando knife clenched in her teeth …she savagely gained vengeance for the geography take-down of the inept Scott Brown.

I live in Vermont a mile west of Sullivan County. If I drive to Concord, I go as due-east as geography allows, straight across the middle of Sullivan County, to get there. Sullivan County is squarely west of the county Concord’s in. Concord is slightly south of the center of it’s county. So part of Sullivan County is at higher latitude than Concord. But nobody would say you go north to get there. It’s still mostly west from Concord, by any reckoning.

Umm, the guy did his job. He corrected a mistake made during a debate. If he had let that glaring mistake go uncontested then he would have failed and should apologize. But not for doing his job.

Now every reporter that asks a follow up question or corrects a politician will be forced to apologize for questioning them.

Who’s still looking for a steady job.

If it’s Scott Brown, he’s going east to Vermont.

No, it’s just you.
