| Kathy Sullivan and James Pindell were all over yesterday's breakout of open civil war in the senate race.
Me, I continue to find it LOL funny, especially DiStaso's later update that tries to round up the likely culprits.
Think about it. The local, coordinated GOP response to having Judd Gregg's DC orchestrated successor campaign forced on them without contest is to launch a well-funded, anonymous, multi-platform attack from Virginia. Was it that Ayotte-Lamontagne wasn't mirroring Crist-Rubio fast enough?
And although Patrick Hynes and Dave Carney are intimately involved with Steve DeMaura's Americans for Job Security, gosh darn it, no one knows where this is coming from.
The fact that some in the NHGOP have to hide behind out-of-state front groups to go after the establishment sector of the NHGOP is really telling. Try to imagine the toxic dump this would be if done on the D side, how quickly it would poison the well.
This civil war has already damaged Ayotte, who responded late, and badly, to the news. But it also damages Ayotte's opponents, because of the general lack of honesty and integrity clouding up the picture until we know who exactly is behind this.
