| See you, in September... wait, it's here!
Magical September, when ponies fall from the sky, and General Petraeus reads words written from the White House that say, "Don't worry, vulnerable Republicans such as John E. Sununu, you can take well-publicized baby steps away from us to show your manly vigor, but basically we're counting on you to make sure we can keep boots on the ground in Iraq until it's some other president's problem." Or something like that.
September is also the magic month that will, one hopes, finally end the holding pattern that is the Democratic side of the senate race: He [Bill Shaheen] predicts his wife, a three-term governor who lost to Sununu in the 2002 election, will make a decision on whether to enter the race before the end of the month. Portsmouth Mayor Steve Marchand, Bow's Katrina Swett and Jay Buckey, a former astronaut and Dartmouth Medical School professor, are competing for the Democratic nomination.
"It's not fair to the other people to drag this out," Shaheen said. Me, I hope she enters and, likewise, that no one drops out because of it. But we shall see...
And finally, our long awaited update is here. First of all, that annoying problem that turned certain cut and pasted punctuation marks into question marks is fixed (hoo-ray!).
Secondly, we now have Ajax-ified comments! That means you don't have to refresh your page to post a comment or see new ones.
