The Union Leader is happily assisting Fergus' new talking points about Jeanne Shaheen and nuclear energy. No surprise there.

But as long as we're taking a trip down memory lane, is there anyone in our state (or national media) who would mind bringing up the fact that radical community disorganizer John E. Sununu once campaigned proudly for abolishing the Department of Education?

Or that Jeb Bradley has flirted with the Social Security privatization bandwagon on more than one occasion?

Or that Cold War II Warrior John McCain supported closing the Portsmouth Naval Base, a decade before he used it as a backdrop prop to announce his candidacy?

Plenty of memories of how badly Republicans behaved during the Clinton years are ready and available for reporters who choose to dig. Just sayin'.

Or how about memories of just what happened (0.00 / 0)
to PSNH electric rates when Seabrook went online?

Nuclear power is still a mess - we don't have any place to put the extremely toxic nuclear waste and we don't know how to transport it once we find a place. After 30 years the industry has made zero progress on those fundamental challenges.

There are people who will make money off a new nuclear effort. But it still doesn't make sense for the public.


it seems they've forgotten the epic (4.00 / 2)
financial mismanagement at Seabrook, including the junk bond bailout.  

Netroots Outreach Director for the Carol Shea-Porter campaign

This appears to be a trick play - (4.00 / 1)
either have Shaheen get drawn into a debate on nuclear power, instead of keeping the focus on Sununu's complete failure as a Senator, or have "Nuclear Power Is The Consensus Choice" emerge as conventional wisdom.
