As the former chair of the Goffstown-Weare Republican Town Committee, I NEVER allowed Democrat trackers to attend my committee meetings. The way I saw it, and my members agreed, our meetings were an opportunity for members to meet and greet candidates in a secure and private setting, NOT an opportunity for Democrat trackers to record "gotcha" moments to be used against our candidates in future commercials. Funny, they always asked how I knew they were trackers. You're kidding, I thought! I won't give my secrets away but suffice to say, I could spot a Democrat tracker a mile away. Now, here's the story, Republican chairs and leaders beware and know, your meetings are private gatherings, for your members, unless held in an open field, you DO NOT have to allow Democrat trackers in. And, if you can't spot them, do as the chair of my County GOP committee does, make an announcement, at the beginning of your meeting, that this meeting is for Republicans only. If you are not a Republican or if you are a Democrat tracker, LEAVE NOW, and they will. July 8, 2011 – NY Times Trailing G.O.P. With Cameras, Seeking Gaffes By MICHAEL D.
