Jeanne
Shaheen Adopted by Blue Catapult
Looking like revenge will be sweet
for Jeanne
Shaheen and the New Hampshire Democrats, Blue Catapult
has made her our first adopted candidate for the 2008
election cycle. Polls show her avenging her very narrow
2002 loss to John Sununu, with a Granite State poll
having her lead Sununu 54%-37%. The former popular Governor
is both effective and intelligent and will be critical
in moving the state of New Hampshire into the Blue column
in November.
