Lambert Down by 23 Points

As the New Hampshire primary election draws ever closer, the level of desperation in the Lambert camp is escalating wildly. Internal polling data from his primary rival, Marilinda Garcia, has Lambert down by 23 points, as reported by WMUR.

The poll, conducted by Magellan Strategies, surveyed 800 likely voters in the upcoming primary using personal interviewer calls to landlines only. Notably, with the exclusion of cellular phones, it is quite possible that younger voters were under sampled. This is a bloc of voters who appear more supportive of Garcia, and that could actually increase the margin by which Lambert trails the 31 year-old, four-term state representative from Salem.

Practical Politicking

Practical Politicking goes on to cover many of the points we’ve reported here….

Questionable contributions handled badly by the campaign

The ‘pants on fire‘ campaign mailer they sent out

The do not mention the push-polling-like phone interviews that also made wild claims about the opponent, but there is that as well.

The enthusiasm gap and the lack of momentum…

With just over two weeks to the primary I have to wonder if Gary’s campaign isn’t ready to double down on a negative strategy that clearly isn’t working?

If they do is this a move that will just arm Democrat incumbent, tax challenged, camera grabbing, F-bomb dropping geography expert Ann ‘McKluster’ Kuster with ordinance to toss at her Republican opponent in the ‘General’?

Gary’s a ‘Colonel.’  Maybe someone in the party should have a ‘Private’ conversation with him about that before he makes a ‘Major’ mistake?
