NH-02: Team Swett Claims 20 Point Lead in Internal Poll

One factor I assume Swett is weighing - (4.00 / 1)

given that she positions herself to the right of other Dem candidates.

The 2010 Democratic primary will have very few independents participating. The contested race will be the Republican Senate contest, with lots of money spent on it. As of today it looks like Lynch and Hodes will have no serious opposition.

Independents who like to play the field will flock to the pink ballot to vote against or for Ayotte. The blue ballot will have a higher percentage of "true believers."

"Assume" (and other definitions) (0.00 / 0)

I don't want to comment on a poll that I have not been able to analyze, but we should all be careful about assuming that Katrina Swett will campaign to the right of anyone.  "Moderate" can mean many things.  Having worked as Katrina's Policy and Research Director in her 2002 campaign, its meaning for her back then included:

* Strong support for a comprehensive health care reform plan
* Strong support for closing corporate tax loopholes, including those that allow companies to incorporate overseas to avoid US taxes
* Strong support for climate change legislation, green energy, and environmental safeguards
* Strong support for federal initiatives to improve access to higher education, including significant Pell Grant and direct student loan expansion
* Strong support for the priorities of organized labor, including (but not limited to) an increase in the minimum wage and an expansion of the Family and Medical Leave Act
* And much more. . .

No doubt that Katrina will provide more information if and when she announces her candidacy.  And, if we're lucky enough to have a Katrina vs. Annie vs. John primary, we'll have three strong candidates prepared to kick Charlie's ass.

Note: I am not employed -- or authorized to speak on behalf of -- any political candidate.

If she is indeed urging Dems to nominate a "moderate" (0.00 / 0)

and given Landrigan, I admit that is an "if," she is deliberately running to the right of the field. Maybe just 2% further right, maybe still left of center. But that position means, you are running on the right.

And that wasn't my assumption. My assumption was strictly about her internal calculations on whether to run. Her position on the political spectrum seems clear to me.

Blogging from back in the day.

Nozell, rhymes with Oh Hell

Katrina Swett (ran for congress a couple years back) had a question/comment about 'why vote for joe' - Basically need someone who can work the middle of the party and attract Democratic leaning independents so he can win next year. Someone that the Republicans can't characterize as not in keeping with the main stream social issues, not strong on defense and eager to raise taxes. Lieberman agreed that can't/shouldn't let the Republicans to portay as anti-religion, anti-family values.

That's legitimate, Jack. But a little misleading. (4.00 / 3)

This is fair game, my friend.  But you should be more consistent as you share information:

* If you're going to criticize Katrina Swett for supporting Lieberman in '04 -- before he became a total GOP-supporting, health care-opposing whack job -- you also must hold other Democrats to the same standard (including, you know, our progressive party chair).

* As you well know, Katrina repudiated Joe Lieberman pretty thoroughly in 2007, in a response first released on Blue Hampshire.

* There's nothing inconsistent about being a budget-conscious liberal -- one who opposes tax increases on working families, and supports spending cuts in areas like agribusiness subsidies and unnecessary weapons systems.  I count myself in that group, and I have no doubt that many of you are, too.

Collateralizing (0.00 / 0)

One of your best rhetorical devices is spreading the discussion out to include abutting parties or as I call it, collateralizing.

We all know Raymond supported Lieberman and it is fair to bust his chops, too. When Ray decides to grab for the brass ring of national office, it will surely come up. Until then, I'll view his judgment based on the role(s) he currently fills.

With regards to "repudiation," I want to state that imo there is no equivalency between Katrina's level of support for JL in 2004 and, let's say, Bresler's support of JRE in 2007.

When one of the state's political mucky-mucks gives an endorsement for President, there is an assumption of "due diligence." Now, I'll give you that Joe may have soured over time, but even then, was he really the one for her? Did his candidacy speak to her "inner Democrat?" On his best day, Lieberman Version 2004 was shabby. I was a Wes Clark guy. I'll admit my bias for the uniform. What drew Katrina to Lieberman? I mean, Yikes!

For the record, I found Lieberman a thoroughly unappealing candidate in 2004, and supported Edwards instead.

There are Jewish CT Democratic voters I know and love who Never liked Joe Lieberman, who voted for Lowell Weicker, and supported Ned Lamont. Joe has Always been a moralizing prig. Having supported him at all, is to them(Mom?)a prima facie reason to withhold support. On a National level where folks don't understand the grassroots small bore nature of NH politics...having supported Joe at all is enough to be disliked and avoided. That is a fact. And to those folks who now feel they were right from the get go about him, there's no explaining necessary. They are not looking for a moderate replacement for Paul Hodes. They want a 2nd District Progressive like Ann Kuster.

"Moderate" (4.00 / 2)

All Swett's polling seems to prove is that Democrats approve of a generic "moderate" candidate--- although given the weak performance by Congressional moderates during the health care reform debate, if I was polled I would probably be one of the 25% who opted for the generic tax and spend liberal.

Ed. Note: My thoughts below also apply to Elwood's similarly-themed comments at the top of this diary.

Tim, don't put much stake in labels.  Katrina is a pro-health care reform, pro-labor, pro-environment, pro-economic fairness, and passionately pro-human rights activist.  She has been as long as I have known her.  

Terms like "moderate" and "progressive" mean very little, as they can only be defined with a staggering level of ambiguity.  And they're VERY easy to hide behind.  Case in point:  In all the diaries about this race during the past six months, no one has identified a single policy issue separating Kuster, Swett, and DeJoie.  Not a one.  (I checked.)

Why does Katrina use the term "moderate" when her record is almost unimpeachably progressive?  Perhaps, in her eyes, the term means something different than a feeble waystation to right-wing injustices.  I think this is true.  It certainly was with her husband.

When I went to work on "moderate" Dick Swett's Senate campaign 14 years ago, the first thing I did was review all 2000+ votes he case in his two House of Representative terms.  To my astonishment, I found only 6 with which I didn't agree.  How could this be?  I was a far left college student, he was a proud Blue Dog.

But as I got to know Dick, I realized that he didn't see "moderate" in terms of policy -- it never stopped him from co-sponsoring the Clinton Health Security Plan in a district that hadn't elected a Democrat since 1912, nor did it keep him from writing green energy legislation, backing federal funding for the arts, or standing up to the NRA -- but rather as a reflection of (a) his reluctance to follow orders from party leaders, and (b) his efforts to work with both Democrats and Republicans to cut wasteful spending, and to implement congressional reforms.  Dick's progressive instincts were not off.  His terminology was just different.

Bottom line: Let's allow these candidates (and prospective candidates) to state their platforms and policies.  Let's give them a forum to explain how they would make a difference in Congress.  And let's be very careful about hiding behind terminology that tells us absolutely nothing about these people and their principles.

The election is ten months off.  While I respect the opinions of those who feel that candidates must make a decision immediately, I have no doubt that Katrina will give you (and everyone else) many opportunities to pose questions if she takes the plunge.

The only candidate forum that has been documented on this site was the New London event last May.  Katrina attended (video was posted here), as did John and Mark Fernald.  Annie could not attend -- certainly don't fault her for that, and no doubt all of these candidates will have the chance to exchange views as time goes on.

I've made the comment a couple of times directly that I really want to see somebody (officially) on Katrina's team get on BH and start participating. If Katrina Swett posted a diary explicitly condemning Holy Joe's stance on health care reform and calling for his ouster from the Democratic caucus and stripping him of his chair, she could make some pretty clear points about where she stands on the Lieberman issue now. The longer she holds back and doesn't commit to the race and doesn't work on engaging the online community, the harder it's going to be for her to get going.
