“Roll Call reported today on comments made by Will Wrobleski at a recent event,” Kimball said. “I want to be very clear that these comments do not reflect my opinions, and at the time he made these remarks, Will did not work for the Republican Party, did not speak for me and did not speak for the New Hampshire Republican Party.”…

In an interview with Roll Call during a Concord, N.H., reception for Pawlenty, Wrobleski knocked Pawlenty’s chances of capturing the Republican Party’s presidential nomination in 2012.

“He’s a nice guy. But there’s a number of guys I’d vote for. He’s not one of them,” Wrobleski said, a few days before taking the state party post. “I don’t think he’s conservative enough.”
