Let me guess... (4.00 / 2)

Patrick Hynes knows - nothing!

This is a pretty insiduous effort, but it surprises me that whoever is making these strategy decisions is dumb enough to think that it will work in New Hampshire. This is the type of thing that backfires here.  I also see that the Carney memo somewhat laughably goes after Guinta for a "liberal" voting record. That is a pretty desperate reach.

But this is Mahoney's only path to victory; he needs to elbow both Guinta and Ashooh out of the way, or else he ends up coming in third - again - in a congressional primary. The filing period hasn't even started, and already it is getting nasty.

It's funny (0.00 / 0)

Rich Ashooh ends up looking good, as the only good old fashioned Republican primary candidate out there trying to earn votes.  I suppose it's the Warren Rudman training.

Mahoney's got the money (does he, after all?), but what a poisonous personna!  Can you imagine rooms full of volunteers with fire in their eyes licking stamps for this guy?

And Guinta has the tea party and the volunteer engergy.  But do Republican primary voters really want to repeal Social Security and Medicare?  

What's Ashooh got?  Papa Sununu, I should hope, or all those years of getting his ticket punched will have been a waste.  He's definitely got the gas money to get to every Republican town committee meeting.  But, really, swimming in the Republican primary cesspool, how does he get above 5% name recognition?

Meanwhile, Strafford Democrats have launched a new (4.00 / 2)

campaign.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Strafford County Democratic Committee on Wednesday unveiled a set of new bumper stickers to remind Americans some of the ways Democrats have helped to make a better America for all citizens. The messages feature five accomplishments of Democratic administrations: Social Security, Medicare, veterans' benefits, Pell Grants, and equal rights.

In a ceremony at Cafe on the Corner in Dover featuring a large automobile bumper with all five messages, Caitlin Rollo, chair of the county committee, said "We are doing this because people have forgotten how many essentials of modern life came to us from Democrats. This is the first step in this year's messaging effort."

The first bumper sticker reads "Got Social Security? Thank Democrats." The others follow in the same vein: Got Medicare? Thank Democrats. Got Vets' Benefits? Got Pell Grants? Got Equality.

"We are pleased to have worked with a union printer right here in Strafford County, B&B Offset Printing in Somersworth, to get these produced," Rollo said.

The committee will sell the blue and white bumper stickers will be at the state Democratic convention this Saturday in Nashua. In a nationwide marketing campaign, they are also available on the Strafford County website, www.straffordcountydemocrats.org, on Facebook with a fan page called Thank Democrats http://www.facebook.com/pages/... and through ActBlue, http://www.actblue.com/page/th... They sell for $1 each locally, with quantity discounts available and postage factored in for mail order sales.

LOL - Faux!Hamsphire must have realized they went just a little too far for moderate New Hampshire; the reference to the Commentary piece, which led their news section last night, has disappeared!

But neither Mahoney nor Hynes have anything to do with any of this, becuase they know nothing!
