Fresh from his transition from Democrat to Republican, Matt Coker (who changed parties before lunch) was spotted having lunch with Labor Union lobbyist (AFL-CIO NH President) Glenn Brackett and notoriously small ‘r’ Republicans Mike Bordes, Doug Trottier, and Travis O’Hara.
You’ll remember Travis; we shared some thoughts about him recently. Bordes was already infamous on our pages, Trottier, not as much, but the word ilk applies to the lot of them, and now Coker, given the company he chooses. If he was hoping to make an impression, he has (lunching with Turcotte, Ploszaj, Cambrils, or Comtois would have been a better call). But like is drawn to like, as they say, and to be fair, he’s only been a “Republican” for a few hours. I’m sure he doesn’t really know how to do it, in which case, he’s with the wrong people.
They don’t know either.
Maybe Coker should have stayed in the Democrat party.
You know what? We’ll cut him some slack. It’s been less than a day. We will reserve further judgment until we’ve seen a few week’s worth of votes. We know he shows up more often than the three amigos, so he’ll have more opportunity to impress … or not.
