Senator Judd Gregg (R-NH) is not being subtle about his displeasure with the RNC's decision to strip his state of half its delegates due to their early primary. Gregg has now cancelled his scheduled appearance tonight at a fundraiser for his state GOP, because it would have meant sharing the co-hosting honors with RNC Chairman Mike Duncan.

Gregg, whose father Hugh Gregg was one of the original champions of the early New Hampshire primary, has called the RNC's move "rampant elitism" by "national leaders who are confined by Washington Beltway thought."

Bear in mind, this is not even a fundraiser for the national GOP, but instead is for the state party that was very hard hit in 2006 and faces the possible loss next year of Gregg's co-Senator, John Sununu. Even then, Gregg will not co-host the event with Duncan.
