Blue Hampshire

U.S. Rep. Carol Shea-Porter's campaign blogger has resigned because of comments about Gov. Sarah Palin's youngest child which she made as a PolitickerNH.com user.

The comments also became the focus of a press release issued by the New Hampshire Republican Party.

A Manchester Republican activist has been barred from posting on the website Blue Hampshire.

The activist, Tammy Simmons, has been banned from the site because she violated site rules. Simmons was using a pseudonym to post comments on the popular site which is a violation of the rules because the editors claim she is a paid campaign staffer.
