This week Republicans at the local level in New Hampshire did very well, much to the credit of New Hampshire Republican Party Chairman Cullen Fergus. Fergus is now very upbeat about the Republicans chances here in 2008, but is trying to keep it in perspective.

Cullen said he did not want “to overstate what a round of municipal elections means, but certainly there is a lot of encouraging news in yesterday’s results.”

One thing he’s happy about is that the Republican Party showed that it can do the “block-and-tackle” basics of campaigning.

No big deal? Well, consider that in 2006, the GOP had no get-out-the-vote operation to speak of, and paid dearly for it statewide.

“We demonstrated that we still remember how to do that and that we’re back doing it,” Cullen said.

Manchester Republican mayor, Frank Guinta, who was supposedly on the hot seat easily won re-election despite a fiercely negative campaign run against him. Guinta was the man that Fergus Cullen dubbed, the last Republican standing after last year’s blue wave swept over New Hampshire. Much like a sunami, this blue wave has left much destruction and devastation in it’s path and we must start rebuilding NOW by putting Republicans back in charge.

Cullen also credits allot of the Republican presidential candidates who helped including Rudy, Romney, Huckabbee, and Paul. All of these candidates realized that New Hampshire fell in a big was to Democrats last year and recognize the importance of turning New Hampshire around.

After this week’s elections I am beginning to get a little more optimistic about New Hampshire’s future and the upcoming elections. Have New Hampshire voters realized their mistake? Have New Hampshire voters had enough? I don’t know, but I am hoping the elections this week are giving us a hint of what is to come in the 2008 elections. Maybe we are turning the corner.
