NH-01: Young Gun, Downgraded

by: Dean Barker

Sat Aug 01, 2009 at 08:53:40 AM EDT


Pre-approved by the NRCC Frank Guinta has been downgraded by the Village:
10. New Hampshire's 1st district (Democratic-controlled): Manchester Mayor Frank Guinta (R) kicked off his campaign for Congress with a bang or, more accurately, a crack. Guinta's involvement in a bar fight that left a man's leg broken has significantly marred the momentum national Republicans were hoping to build for his race against Rep. Carol Shea-Porter (D). The $90,000 he raised between April 1 and June 30 didn't exactly bowl us over either. Is Shea Porter vulnerable? Yes. Is Guinta off to a very rocky start? You betcha. (Previous ranking: 4)

Somehow, we need to shift the focus of elections away from (0.00 / 0)
the candidates and towards the issues and the voters.  Yes, that means more work for the media.  But encouraging laziness is not good for the country.
Our Representative is coming home from work at two in the morning and responding to citizens' emails.  The Mayor of Manchester comes home early from a bar because an acquaintance of his got his leg broken in three places?

Somebody is not ready for prime time.
