More People Voted for Shea-Porter than Bradley in Primary

by: Dean Barker

Fri Sep 12, 2008 at 06:09:43 AM EDT


Too funny:
Jeb Bradley beat John Stephen 18,559 to 16,766 in the Republican 1st District Congressional race. Geoff Michael received 534 votes and Dave Jarvis 414. Running unopposed, Democratic incumbent Carol Shea-Porter received 20,989 votes.
Yes, obviously, when you count up all the GOP votes, you see that more of them showed up for primary day.

But when Carol Shea-Porter, unopposed, can match roughly 2/3rd of the total of all the GOP candidates in a competitive primary, that speaks loud and clear.

This race is a top priority.  Carol is as genuine as they come, and as progressive as they come.  We owe it to her to work our hearts out. Donate, volunteer, canvass, phonebank, visibility, rinse and repeat.

Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter is a terrific representative for our state. Much of this race will come down to money. The Republican Party has marked her seat as a "must win" and the victor of their primary will be well- financed.  Please join us in helping return Carol to Washington.

This is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force.

Remember the time... (4.00 / 6)
Despite losing the New Hampshire Presidential Primary to Hillary Clinton by three thousand votes, Barack Obama STILL got thirty thousand more votes than John McCain that day, even though John McCain had a BIG victory on the Republican side?

Good times.
