The Sturm und Drang of 2009 has given way in 2010 to the Village GOPers calling the shots. (And when is this ever not the case, really?)
From Pindell's weekly Political Standing:
DOWN
Bob Giuda: Giuda has been in third place in his quiet Republican primary since the moment he entered it. With Jennifer Horn so down this week this was his shot to bump into second place and take away organizational Tea Party love from Horn. Not only was he barred from taking the stage at the Concord Tea Party (Horn spoke), but his finance report showed he spent more than the $7,300 he raised. Who do you think you are the 2010 version of Frank Guinta? He is going to have an ever harder time making people care.
Tea Party organizers: For all the hype about the Tea Parties this week there existed an undeniable fact: significantly fewer people showed up this year than did a year ago, except in Portsmouth. Just consider the Manchester rally. Last year there were an estimated 4,000 and 5,000 people in attendance. This year the Union Leader reported there were just 500. Without health care, without tax day, without a leader, without money, and without last year's passion will this movement sustain itself?
DOUBLE DOWN
Jennifer Horn: The 2008 Republican Congressional nominee now seeking the same position in 2010 has always had an argument for her candidacy. There does need to be a conservative counter to a moderate like Charlie Bass in the primary. No one has ever questioned the argument. They questioned her ability to execute a campaign on that argument. This week's news that she only raised $35,000 in three months means that for most activists she is no longer a viable option. There are other primaries for them to spend their time on. Oh all that six figure money you loaned your campaign last time . . . not getting it back now. It didn't have to be like this.
