The chairwoman of the New Hampshire Republican Party turned up her rhetoric Sunday to energize voters ahead of Tuesday’s midterm elections, likening the state GOP’s efforts to turn out the vote to drowning Democratic candidates.

“This is our time. We need to crush it,” Jennifer Horn told supporters at a rally for the GOP’s slate of candidates in Manchester, according to NH Journal. “We need to grab it, run with it, push their heads under over and over again until they cannot breathe anymore. Until elections are over on Tuesday night and we’ve won it all.”

“Waves happen when every single member of a cause or a movement come together with passion and action … You are the wave. I need you out there for the next two days. It will not happen without you,” she added.

The New Hampshire GOP is hoping that voters will sweep Senate candidate Scott Brown, congressional candidates Marilinda Garcia and Frank Guinta and gubernatorial candidate Walt Havenstein into office on Election Day. Those four posts are all currently held by female Democratic incumbents.

The TPM Polltracker average has Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen leading Brown 49.4 percent to 47.6 percent in the New Hampshire Senate contest, one of a handful of races that will likely decide control of the chamber.

  1. Ms. Horn needs to learn that comments like hers only illustrate why people don’t vote for Republicans.

  2. Meh. As far as GOP crazy goes, I give this like a 1.5 out of 10. I know I’ve said crazier than that. Anyone who claims they haven’t needs to spend some quality introspective time.

  3. Until elections are over on Tuesday night and we’ve won it all.

    As long as Obama still has his veto pen you’re shit out of luck.

    We need to fuck them hard; fuck them until they are unconscious, fuck them in waves, and then fuck them until they are dead. There, fixed it for you, oh moral Christian party that you are.
