Rep. Peter King told a New Hampshire radio interviewer that Granite Staters could expect to see a lot more of him “because right now I'm running for President.” Fellow Republicans Sens. Rand Paul and Ted Cruz are widely expected to run in 2016, but King staked his claim first.
Lucky Granite Staters! I would guess Chris Christie and King will be competing for the blue state moderate vote. In a general election Christie could carry his home state which I doubt King could do. I have visions of King and Christie arguing who lost more friends in the WTC attack and who do more for his voters in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.Will primary voters like King's comparison of the Sinn Féin's Gerry Adams to George Washington. King built a career around the IRA and asserted that the "British government is a murder machine". Three days after his election to the House in November 1992, King was in Belfast for "a spiritual reawakening". The plain fact is King has been very selective in his personal war on terrorism. His excuse is the IRA never attacked the United States.
I can hardly wait to hear the new King.
