New Hampshire: Arnie Arnesen

Losing Arnie Arnesen's "Political Chowder" Is A Blow To The Discussion

By Rep. Jim Splaine

Arnie Arnesen is going on hiatus with her weekly televised Poitical Chowder talk show.  What a blow losing our weekly political discussion and critical thinking from an incredible woman who would have been a great Governor.  

But her final show was filled with class as she took John Dad Sununu, the new chair of the New Hampshire Republican Party, way off his message -- if he had one -- in the first half hour.  If Sununu went onto her show with the intent of converting new Republicans, or shoring up the traditional ones, Arnie made sure he failed.

Plug pulled on Arnesen’s radio show

By Brian Lawson, PolitickerNH.com Reporter

The political radio show Chowder in the Morning has been cancelled by 1110 WCCM.

The host, Arnie Arnesen, emailed listeners to notify them about the cancellation.

"Given the imploding economy, the dramatic drop in advertising dollars and, perhaps, a less than enthusiastic commitment to radio that attempts to educate and entertain, I regret to inform you that Chowder in the Morning will not be around to serve up a salty bowl of politics, policy, pundits and people every weekday morning," Arnesen wrote.

By Brian Lawson, PolitickerNH.com Reporter

This morning the Sunday morning talk shows were filled with discussions about the looming state budget deficit.

On WMUR's Close Up, the panel discussed the spending cap being purposed by the New Hampshire Advantage Coalition.

"I'm effectively a spending cap in Manchester," Mayor Frank Guinta (R-Manchester) said. "Because this is community based, I think it's been effective."

By James W. Pindell, Politicker.com Editor

Gov. John Lynch (D-Hopkinton) was much more confident as to who would win the Super Bowl than he was about who would win the Democratic presidential nomination or even if he would run for re-election this fall.
