First off, in real life I am a Steve Marchand supporter, and endorsed him publicly. After reading about the 'Draft Jeannie" effort by former Chair Kathy Sullivan, I got to thinking. If elect-ability is what this is about, then what about John Lynch for Senate ? Who cares if he has not declared, there are some quite close to him who (rumor has it) think he should do it. Let me be clear again. John Lynch is not among them. But hey can we tawk ??
Who won the Governor's race with 76% of the vote ?
Who has been the most popular politician ever, of either party in New Hamsphire ?
Who did not support a Sales Tax ?
Who has not lost an election to Johnnie E. ?
Okay Judy don't get apoplectic...I am talking theoretical here... I didn't think he would ever run, or even consider it until yesterday. But in politics you've got to know when it's your time, and Lynch has generally had an exquisite sense of timing. I have always supported him, as I did Jeannie, with my effort, time, and available cash. They are both more cautious, and more successful in politics than I'll ever be. But I can't help wondering about this. My gut says Jeannie would not have a cakewalk, that Marchand can do it, Katrina might be a good Senator but she's not a good candidate, and Buckey is too new to judge.
In my virtual election, Lynch would flatten Sununu, and get us a very important Senate seat, and Marchand could run for Governor...But again I am Blue Skying it here, cuz he ain't running.
And thanks Dean, I love the intertubes !
