The Most Extreme Ticket Evah?

by: Kathy Sullivan 2

Tue Sep 14, 2010 at 22:15:27 PM EDT


Although the races are not over yet, there is a distinct possibility that the Republican ticket could be the most extreme right wing ticket in NH history.

That doesn't mean the general will be a walk in the park, but it establishes real choices for the voters.

On the one hand, candidates who want to turn social security into a welfare program, discriminate against fellow and sister citizens, and turn the clock in NH back to 1954.

On the other, a ticket with a vision for the future, who want to move NH forward, and who are focused on education, the environment,  jobs, health care, working and middle class tax relief.

Side notes: Loser of the night is Manchester Mayor Ted Gatsas. He endorsed both Mahoney and Ayotte, both of whom got their butts kicked in Manchester.  
Say goodbye award - Sean Mahoney, who poured a lot of money into what looks to be another 3rd place finish.
I know nothing award - Patrick Hynes and David Carney, who  ran an ad heavy, general election campaign for Sean Mahoney.
We still matter award - the Union Leader.

Kind of amazing, and scary. But yeah, they still run the show on that side of the aisle, don't they?  



I wouldn't believe it if it were Ovide alone, but (0.00 / 0)
look at how well Ashooh did as well.

The UL Editorial Department controls the UL Newsroom (4.00 / 1)
"Harrigan for Lamontagne" appeared in today's UL.

Would they write an article if he endorsed anyone else?


Political consultants earn more steady income with candidates (0.00 / 0)
who aren't chosen because there are more of them and the clueless can always be persuaded to try again.  From a consultant industry standpoint, eight Republican candidates are more lucrative than one Democrat.

It's almost funny, if it weren't pathetic, that people who natter endlessly about being taxed, allow themselves to be taken to the cleaners by media shills on a regular basis.  Celebrity must be worth a lot.


How right-wing is the GOP primary electorate? (0.00 / 0)
Al Baldasaro was the #1 finisher in his 9-seat district.

With 125% of the vote of the #2 guy, and 200% of the vote of the #9 guy.

Where else does playing a Mafia buffoon and saying New Hampshire sells children to the gays for $10K a pop get you a gold medal?
