My beautiful home state NH is voting today. Millions of right-wing dollars have poured instate from the Chamber of Commerce and others. The tidal wave of robocalls they sent in yesterday overwhelmed NH's telephone system.
Want to see how Republicans may take the Congress? Both NH House seats are now held by Democrats, both may fall today to Republicans.
Carol Shea-Porter, who has been a voice for "the rest of us" for four years may lose to a slogan-spouting right winger who hopes his small kids never find out what Social Security is. Even the right-wing Manchester Union Leader could not bring itself to endorse Frank Guinta. But big right-wing money and drumbeat attack ads have done their work--he's in the lead.
Annie Kuster is in a close race against Charlie Bass, who got into office on Contract with America, and richly deserves some term limiting. Annie is progressive and smart and hard-working and has been working in politics at the state level for years. That race is a squeaker. Go Annie, go Annie, go Annie!
I'm voting today, are you?
I'm making phone calls to family and friends, are you?
I'm driving people to the polls, are you?
Republicans would like us to give up and let them win. Phooey on that, I say. It isn't over until it's over.
