NH-Sen: Ovide's Food Drive a Grand Slam Home Run

And I don't mean just in how much food was collected. The New York Times (and thus, the Villagers) notices:
For Some Republicans, Their Party's Seal of Approval Doesn't Impress
By CARL HULSE
Published: September 26, 2009

WASHINGTON - Kelly Ayotte, the former attorney general of New Hampshire, was on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, reaping the benefits of being a favored Republican Senate candidate. She collected checks at a series of fund-raisers, including a reception that drew Senate Republican leaders eager for her to join them as a colleague come 2011.

Back in New Hampshire, Ovide Lamontagne, a potential Republican rival to Ms. Ayotte, was reaping the benefits of not being in Washington, hosting scores of supporters at a Manchester club and collecting canned and dry goods in a food drive.

Perfectly timed, too, for maximum political dividend.

Well done, Mr. Lamontagne.
