Dan Bongino (R-MD) and New Hampshire Fallout TONIGHT on THE RIGHT HOOK

You know you want it, so sit back and relax as we wrap our legs around your torso and just keep giving it to you with conservative podcastings answer to Sodom and Gomorrah. It’s your anthem for the underground where the RINOs and the radicals come together as one. MIC CHECK! This is THE RIGHT HOOK

It Begins: Rob Astorino for New York Governor

The day after Mitt Romney won the nomination for President (give or take a few weeks) and I decide it’s time to pivot to among other things local politics, it was refreshing to see Westchester county executive Rob Astorino interviewed in National Review.

He had been getting some national attention over his issues with the Obama Campaign’s HUD Department and his 2012 budget, and this will only help raise his profile…which is very convenient considering he’s one of small amount of names who might have a shot against Andrew Cuomo in 2014.

A little of the interview…

Mitt Romney’s Opening with Conservatives (or, Ewww, He’s a Capitalist)

A lot of us who aren’t crazy aboot Mitt Romney as our candidate have been waiting for the other candidates to go after his record and challenge him. What we weren’t expecting were them to attack him FROM THE LEFT and go after his time at Bain Capital and for otherwise engaging in capitalism. I made light of this yesterday, and I don’t feel bad because Romney has used class warfare rhetoric against his opponents long before this. It still put a lot of us in the odd position of defending him.

There’s an opening here though. See, as much as it makes me uncomfortable to see other Republicans attacking their opponents as liberals, I’m glad they did because it lets primary voters see a) what’s waiting for him from the Democrats, and b) see how Romney reacts to the attacks. And therein lies his opening to unify everyone, because the biggest issue many of us have with Romney is that we don’t think he’s going to have the balls to punch back and go after President Obama, the Democrats, and the usual Obama Media Complex.

Jon Huntsman Unveils Education Reform Plan, New Hampshire Too Close to Call

Not that anything else the Jon Huntsman campaign has done up into this point has made sense, but apparently he chose the day before the New Hampshire primaries – a “do or die” primary for him to see if he’s even going to make it out of the state – to unveil a new education reform plan.

Much like his economic and financial reform plans, it’s bold and full of everything conservative would want. It kind of makes you wonder why he wouldn’t have been talking aboot it all last year BEFORE people started voting. He may have gained traction in the polls and New Hampshire might actually be too close to call (I know, you’re shocked my headline was misleading).

Some bulletpoints of note:
