One of the things I love about the netroots is that we have a chance to influence the thought process and decision-making of the state and national Democratic parties. I know a lot of the higher-ups read these to get a sense of what the Democrats are thinking. It looks like one of the candidates that has generated a lot of the discussion on the blogs is now seriously considering a run against John Sununu. Todays Union Leader confirms that Gary Hirshberg, CEO of Stonyfield Farms in Londonderry, will make a decision sometime this month:
In a race as imortant as the 2008 Senate race, we need the best field of candidates possible. Hirshberg has a very interesting background that would grab a lot of media attention and has been a leader on environmental issues. He is also wealthy and could self-fund some of the race.
It is also encouraging that we should have at least 1 or 2 candidates declare for this race by the end of the month. A competitive primary will be good for the party and good for the eventual Democratic candidate. Portsmouth mayor Steve Marchand is also expected to announce his decision sometime this month.
UPDATE: The UL has now reported that Marchand announced his run to the Portsmouth Herald today.
