GraniteGrok.com / Meet The New Press (radio) just learned that the Shea-Porter campaign is lamenting the loss of a debating opportunity and lambasting Jeb Bradley for denying the public that opportunity. Yet, the Shea-Porter campaign staff continues to ignore the opportunity offered since mid-September to come debate former Congressman Jeb Bradley on air in a free-wheeling format that would have been moderated by influential NH based bloggers from both the Right and Left.
The proprietors of GraniteGrok (New Hampshire’s leading conservative blogsite) and Meet The New Press offered the Bradley and Shea-Porter campaigns the perfect chance to reach out to both Central NH broadcast listeners as well as to the NH blogging community (via a live Internet stream) after former Congressman Jeb Bradley suggested the event back in mid- September during an appearance. “The Central NH population is a large part of New Hampshire’s First Congressional District. In addition, New Hampshire’s Internet blogging community, both Right and Left, has become more and more important in informing and influencing the general public on all things political. Jeb Bradley has willingly allowed himself to be questioned by some of the sharpest bloggers in New Hamphsire; why is Carol Shea-Porter, and her campaign manager, Pia Carusone, refusing to do the same? To snub both populations shows an amazing lack of concern for these important constituents." said Skip Murphy, co-founder of GraniteGrok and Meet The New Press.
GraniteGrok.com / Meet The New Press stand ready to host the event in case Carol Shea-Porter decides to change her mind. Jeb Bradley has already agreed to paricpate at any time..
GraniteGrok can be found on the web at http://www.GraniteGrok.com and Meet The New Press (a show by bloggers about the blogosphere) broadcasts on WEMJ 1490 AM (live streaming from GraniteGrok) on Saturdays, 9-11am and is the leading conservative talk show in its time slot in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire.
