Are you tired of this meta diary? Forget that damn meta diary because here's a great progressive candidate that deserves our full support in this Democratic primary in New Hampshire. Remember the slogan, "Elect more AND better Democrats?" Well, this slogan applies in full to Ann McLane Kuster, a rising star within the progressive Democratic community:
I've been a longtime community activist, attorney author, and public policy advocate specializing in improving access to quality health care and affordable higher education. The Granite State is a very special place for me -- I was born and raised in Concord, and my husband Brad and I have raised two boys here.
I've spent most of my life working to make life better for families here. I'm running for Congress to make sure Washington makes the smart changes that really help people in New Hampshire. I'll always be a pro-choice, pro-jobs, and pro-environment kind of candidate. You can count on that!
Let's get together to push Kuster over the finish line on September 14th!

Here's our Laura Clawson on how close Kuster is to winning the Democratic primary, and why she needs our help in the closing days of this campaign!
A Kuster campaign internal poll also has good news:
A Mellman Group poll of 400 likely Second District Democratic voters shows Kuster with 47 percent support, Swett with 24 percent, and 29 percent were undecided. The Mellman Group polled for John Kerry's campaign in the 2004 New Hampshire primary.
Reasons not to relax: That poll shows a big lead, but it's notoriously difficult to predict primary turnout, and this is the only primary on the Democratic side. A low turnout could change the picture.
And while Swett only raised $36k in this filing period, remember that she came into the race with around $800k cash on hand. She continues to have a substantial cash-on-hand advantage -- $798,172 to Kuster's $449,891. There's every likelihood this will be Swett's last race, and she could well decide to pour everything she has into this last 10 days of the primary.
Ann McLane Kuster needs our help making a strong final push through the primary and entering the general election campaign well positioned to beat Charlie Bass or Jennifer Horn (most likely Bass). Give now orvolunteer.
