So how does this work for Charlie Bass? Back in 2005 C-Bass lead the school in an effort to get Tom DeLay to step down as Majority leader because of possible connections to Lobbyist Jack Abramoff. That’s not exactly a way to instill confidence or support in the guy. Well the DoJ just announced that DeLay is innocent of any wrong doing.
So in the time it took DoJ to declare DeLay innocent, Chalie Bass was term limited by the electorate, wandered off into a lucrative career as a political consultant with NH-01 candidate Rich Ashooh’s older brother, (among other lobbyist/slash consulting work), then wandered back to chase after the seat from which he took buckets of money from DeLay before turning on him for political points in the run up to the election year in which he still lost his seat.
Cut and run moderate political insider with bad judgement? That’s a winning combination for New Hampshire. And if he’s so willing to turn on a guy who gave him money how much chance do you think John and Jane Q. GraniteStater have?
Not much.
