Bob Mead tells me he has resigned from #NHHouse majority office in the wake of Monitor story #nhpolitics

This is the story he's referring to, I think:

House paid mileage for GOP recruiting
State employee traveled to events

But that's unrelated to THIS drama...

2. Doesn't sound like the Speaker was ejected

But one of his opponents.

"As an ardent Ron Paul supporter, I take particular offense to Griffin's front-page comment that no thinking human being could imagination Ron Paul (or Michele Bachmann) winning the Republican nomination ("What if Ron Paul wins Iowa," Monitor, Dec. 21)."
