No contest in the 2010 New Hampshire primary offers voters a tougher choice than the one between Democrats Katrina Swett and Ann McLane Kuster for the 2nd District congressional nomination. The candidates are both well-qualified and differ little on the issues. The district's voters can't lose, no matter whom they choose. That said, our vote goes to Kuster, whose home-grown support and two decades of work bringing lawmakers from both parties together on issues in a legislature the size of the U.S. House gives her an advantage.
...Kuster, who has received nearly 90 percent of her campaign contributions from New Hampshire sources, has demonstrated that she has the support and confidence of a large number of her district's voters. She's also proven that she has the skills to help do what's sorely needed in Washington: convincing people on all sides to come together, end the gridlock and get the nation moving again.
In the Democratic primary in the 2nd District, Kuster deserves your vote.
It will be interesting to see the endorsements as they roll out at this point. If you see one from your local paper, let us know!
Adding: I find it interesting that Afghanistan played a role in their thinking. More evidence that running to the left of Obama on the war is actually the popular view.
Update by Mike: Today The Keene Sentinel Endorsed Ann McLane Kuster as well.
Still another plus is her lawyer experience in negotiation. She comes across as a tough bargainer who also knows that protracted stalemates don't normally serve the client - in this case, the public - very well.
