In Part 1 Skulnick introduced us to Steve Marchand, who hopes to replace John Sununu in the Senate race in NH. You can give to Marchand here
Steve Marchand will be here, on dailyKos, starting at 4 PM, Eastern time. Let's make sure he has LOTS of money by then! Lots and lots! Give give give!
So, who's Sununu?
More below the fold
Sununu is a Republican.
EVERYONE SAY "EEEEWWWW!!!!!"
He's endorsed by the Club for Growth
EVERYONE SAY "EEEEEWWW!!!!"
He is one of only three senators to get 100% on CFG's scorecard
He blames Iraq failure on the troops
Elise has a bunch more, but there are a lot of diaries to come, and I'd like to split up the dirt. So, here's some stuff that I got elsewhere:
Sununu beat Shaheen last time by 51-47. But Marchand is better than Shaheen, and NH is going BLUE (see below).
Sununu opposes bans on assault weapons, he voted for drilling in the Alaskan National Wildlife Reserve, he opposes Roe v. Wade..... He's a bad man!
Can Sununu lose? You bet he can! NH went 50% for Kerry over Bush in 2004. And, although it went for Bush over Gore (48-47) if you add in the Nader voters (4%) Bush should have lost, then, too. The huge NH House has 229 Democrats, 179 Republicans and 20 who are both or are independent --- in 2004, though, it was 253 Repubs and 147 Democrats.... NH is going BLUE!
The NH Senate has 14 Democrats and 10 Republicans --- in 2004, it was 16 Repubs and 10 Democrats...... NH is going BLUE!
In 2004, NH was represented by two Republicans (Bradley and Bass) in the US House. Now? Two Democrats! Hodes and Shea Porter! NH is going BLUE!
and neither of the US reps who LOST was nearly as conservative as Sununu! (Bradley got National Journal liberalism numbers in the 40s, Bass in the upper 40s and 50s.
Update [2007-6-28 15:36:24 by plf515]: And now? Bush is at 14% in NH! (see this poll
Can you help Sununu lose? You bet you can!
Give! Give! Give! It's EASY! You can do it right here!
if you've got a dime, give a dime. If you've got more, give more. It all counts, it all adds up, and then when Sununu loses, you can say
I was a part of that!
The rest of these diaries will be done as per the following table
wouldn't it be nice to say that?
So give!
Also, please rec. this diary so that everyone else gives, too.
