The Dems dreamin’ of Jeannie no more… A looming nightmare for Republicans?

Kathy Sullivan

Are you ready to rumble?

The Dems certainly are! Get ready for some nasty politics around these parts… Former NH Democratic Chair/ attack-dog Kathy Sullivan (shown above–a Granite Grok NH Power-Player) has gotten her wish— Jeanne Shaheen is reported in today’s Union Leader to be set for a run against John E. Sununu.

This is not good news for Republicans (or America?). Jeanne Shaheen, who lost to Sununu by a small margin in 2002, will find herself in a radically different state of New Hampshire today than back then. Republican fortunes are down. Democrats are motivated and on the move. Near as I can tell, many Republican stalwarts, at least the locals in these parts, still appear atrophied and stunned from last November, basically stuck on stupid. I’m sure this isn’t unique to just here in Belknap County. Does anybody think that a Shaheen team that includes her pugnacious husband Bill, a power in his own right, and an energized and rested Kathleen Sullivan aren’t poised to take full advantage of the Republicans’ continued malaise?

The battle has been joined. The stage is set. There is much work to be done. I cannot bear the thought of a NH Congressional contingent that includes Hodes, Shea-Porter, AND Jeanne Shaheen…
