NH-01: You Break It, You Bought It, Part II

Oh, dear.  It looks like Plan B is not working out.
Republican Congressional candidate Robert Bestani, of Newmarket, raised $7,910 in the last three months.

...For context former Republican Congressional candidate John Stephen raised $8400 last quarter just to pay off campaign debt from last year.

The NRCC wanted Mayor Guinta, and that's what they got. Kathy:
Last week, The Washington Post described Mayor Frank Guinta's campaign as a "disappointment," an apt description. It is surprising that anyone even remembers that the mayor is in the race. There have been no rousing announcement rallies, no press releases issuing glowing reports on fundraising, no weekly lists of prominent endorsements. His few public outings have cemented his position in the far right wing of his party, a losing proposition in moderate New Hampshire.

What publicity he has received in the last two or three weeks has been unfavorable. It has focused on his presence at a private Manchester social club during an altercation. When running for Congress, having your name in the same story as the words "bar brawl" is a bad thing.

Guinta's Blog (4.00 / 3)
Frank Guinta has a blog on the City of Manchester web site. His latest post discusses a recent incident after the July 4th fireworks. I have to wonder what Guinta was thinking when he wrote (or approved the writing of) the following:

Recently, under a full compliment of officers and tremendous leadership from police administration, the MPD force has begun to harshly crack down on violent crime in Manchester, and has shown their capacity for swift law enforcement.

The mayor was in a bar a couple of weeks ago when an alderman was allegedly assaulted, placed in a chokehold. The person who was the alleged assailant then required over four hours of surgery. The mayor did not call the police. And he is blogging about how the police are cracking down on violent crime and how swfitly the police react. What is he thinking?
