Sununu Dynasty Holding NHGOP Hostage, Part III

fact check big D (0.00 / 0)

Anyone who makes more than a cursory effort to compile articles from other places would know that Caitlin Daniuk is Strafford County Chair

Especially if they came to the last State Committee meeting at St. A's. She took the dais breathlessly to talk about her impressions of the Coodinated Campaign. Joan Ashwell is Secretary of the Strafford County Dems

http://thedartmouth.com/2009/0...
"My gut feeling is that Lynch is more likely considering another term as governor, as he has proven over and over again that he has superb executive skills," Joan Ashwell, chair of the Strafford County Democratic Committee and a long-time New Hampshire political operative, said. "[The Senate requires] a different skill set, even though people move back and forth between them. Jeanne Shaheen is a perfect example."

Age (0.00 / 0)

Doesn't the U.S. Constitution require someone to be at least 25 to be in Congress?   The article says that Scott Merrick is 23. I don't know when his birthday might be, but maybe he turns 25 by November 2010.  If so, he is cutting it close.

He would need to be 25 in Jan 2011 (0.00 / 0)

He can be elected at 24, but not serve until 25.

Papa Sununu wails & fails (4.00 / 3)

Thought this crowd would enjoy an observation stuck in Ryan Lizza's piece about "Rahm-bo."

Over the years, some clear patterns about what kind of person succeeds in the job have emerged. James Pfiffner, a professor at George Mason University who has written extensively on the history of the office, cites four chiefs of staff as notable failures: Adams, Haldeman, Donald Regan, who was Ronald Reagan's second chief of staff, and John Sununu, George H. W. Bush's first chief of staff. "All of them got power-hungry, they alienated members of Congress, they alienated members of their own Administration, they had reputations for a lack of common civility, and they had hostile relations with the press. And each one of them resigned in disgrace and hurt their Presidents," Pfiffner said. "Being able to be firm and tough without being obnoxious and overbearing is crucial."

Building a bench... (4.00 / 3)

The idea that more than half a dozen great folks are expressing serious interest in the 2nd CD seat is yet another inication of the vibrancy of our future in New Hampshire.

Our bench is wide and deep. It is filled with folks that represent the diversity of New Hampshire.

Our "under 35" bench is better than ever before in our history. We have great leaders ready, willing and able to do great things in office.
