It looks like the Smartest Man in the Senate may have just taken a look at the polls, and he's lashing out:
At times during the meeting with Monitor editors, Sununu was confrontational, cutting off several questions and, on follow-up, offering to repeat himself.
And my favorite is the arrogance of telling the Monitor, during an endorsement interview, how they should be doing their business. That can't be good:
In closing, he told Monitor editors that he stands for what he thinks they should stand for. "This is a newspaper that has always claimed to want someone who is willing to stand up on entitlement reform, take the tough votes, engage in the tough debates, whether it's Medicare or Social Security," Sununu said. "I've never hesitated to do that."
In fact, Sununu has been a prominent proponent of creating private accounts within the Social Security system, a plan he says will bring long-term stability and solvency to the system. Shaheen and the Democratic Party say the recent volatility of the stock market demonstrates the risk of his plan.
Sununu questioned Monitor editors about whether they have heard any ideas on shoring up Social Security from Shaheen.
"Here it is. Here it is," Sununu said, holding up his fingers in a zero shape, as he did in a debate last week. "Come on. This newspaper above every other in the state should be holding her accountable for even discussing this issue without offering any ideas or solutions."
I never bought the mild-mannered sweater meme the Sprinter puts on in front of the crowds, anyway. It flies in the face of his "jokes" with friendly audiences.
