Politicians and ex-politicians’ ability to ignore the fact that they have lost the room is truly amazing. My God some of them need editors - and stage managers.

Sitting in the ER at the Upper River Valley Hospital with my wife, who is in big pain. We didn’t go to the DECH because we knew it would be a waste of time. We’re now several hours in and not one person has been taken into the ER. Neither of us have family docs; this is not acceptable health care.

If he does jump in, the party will need to find a new interim leader. Since the election, I’ve heard from multiple sources that Margaret Johnson was a candidate the PC caucus has, and will, get behind for that job. Whether she wants it is an entirely different matter.
