A House panel recommends against adding the New Hampshire Presidential Primary to the state Constitution. Good.
We like our first-in-the-nation primary as much as anyone — more, in fact, than some quota-counting, diversity-driven Democrats who are downright embarrassed by the Granite State. And we aren’t even thinking of Joe Biden, who has now forgotten that he tried to kill the primary this year.
But it is right to note that the first primary is already written into New Hampshire law. If Biden and company choose to ignore that law, they do so at their political peril. Adding it to our state’s constitution is unlikely to further dissuade such pols. At the same time, it would add more politics to a document that ought to be considered as above that fray.
New Hampshire seems to have a pretty successful formula for attracting tourists from far and wide. Much of that, of course, is in the natural beauty abundant in our lakes, mountains, and seacoast.

Gov. Chris Sununu’s Donald Trump endorsement, back-handed as it was, is at once a great disappointment but not totally unexpected in a nation that now faces its worst presidential choice in modern times. Or should we say the end times?
There’s a $306 million building plan to improve Manchester’s schools, but just two weeks ago we learned that number assumed city departments would waive a myriad of fees and permits and that if these were not waived that the difference would be cut out of what was planned for the kiddos.
In its recent “American Masters” program on William F. Buckley Jr., we expected PBS to take a hatchet to that important American conservative. We weren’t disappointed.
New Hampshire legislators are right to move forward with bills protecting young female athletes from being physically injured by boys who want to be girls.
Of the many troubling aspects in the recent story of state Rep. Jonathan Stone, most disturbing to us is another example of a public body agreeing to keep from the public information that it is entitled to and ought to know.
