She immediately begins the race with huge CoH numbers transferred from her former Senate '08 run, to the tune of over 850K.
(This news certainly underscores the timing of Team Kuster's 50+ legislator endorsement, btw.)

I don't think elwood was trying to play Merlin above. I do think it is a meme that must be closley checked. "Ill writers are usually the sharpest censors." - John Dryden
Regarding primaries in general, there are often Dark Rumors that somebody in a party hierarchy or donor base is clearing the decks for a favored candidate. I suspect that happens less often than the rumors spring up. A broadly contested primary eliminates those rumors.
Boy, if the fans of each camp are gonna be THIS sensitive about it-could-be-a-slam-if-you-squint-hard, we're in for a long year.
I say 4 year terms and A primary 6 months before election. Who's with me? Hope >> Fear Create a free Blue Hampshire account and join the conversation.

Typing Lieberman over and over isn't going to make support of him over five years ago an issue for the overwhelming majority of voters. "When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on." Franklin D. Roosevelt
I'm not supporting anyone in the 2nd CD, which I think I have said before, so don't get into your "attack the people opposing my candidate" mode. Just trying to keep the debate at a level that won't hurt us in November. And I think that level is a discussion of the issues on the table today, not sniping over who supported whom two or six years ago. It takes a whole party to win in November. "When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on." Franklin D. Roosevelt
so don't get into your "attack the people opposing my candidate" mode.
Folks, Kathy isn't where she is by accident. She plays every card with precision. "Ill writers are usually the sharpest censors." - John Dryden
So, to anyone reading this who might think Burt speaks for Annie, rest assured he does not! "When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on." Franklin D. Roosevelt
Swett stood tall next to Lieberman AFTER he left the party. That wasn't very long ago, was it?
Another flaw in her judgement seems to be a fixation on money, as in money=victory. A topic discussed right here on BH.
I think the two matters go hand in hand.
These are real issues, issues of judgement. Of course, that is nothing BUT personal. I'm not sure how we can navigate discussing such topics, to be honest, without spiraling out of control. The personalities here, blogging, are not as refined as the candidates themselves. For myself, let me make clear, I have no animosity for Katrina Swett. If I was to meet her, I would thank her profusley for her service to NH, the nation and for continuing her father's work. I am convinced that staying at the helm of that foundation is where Katrina Swett can do her best.
In conclusion, I'd like to note that the "Lieberman Issue" is very sensitive for Swett and I would not assume that her campaign wants it to be fluffed by folks like me. So when the backlash comes, I will assume most of the indignation is more strategic than heartfelt.
This is not our first rodeo. "Ill writers are usually the sharpest censors." - John Dryden
Swett endorsed Lieberman after he lost the Senate primary.
(It sounds real nice, doesn't it?)
