A prominent New Hampshire Clinton supporter and a prominent New Hampshire Obama supporter write a joint letter on why Ann McLane Kuster is the better candidate in the Democratic primary for House in the second district. They touch on many of the things that led us to add her to the Orange to Blue list, writing:
Annie has built an unparalleled grassroots campaign, held over 100 house parties across the district, set records for her in-state fundraising support, and she promises to put people over politics-as-usual. In contrast, Katrina Swett lost to Charlie Bass by 16 points the last time she took him on, has demonstrated relatively little grassroots support, and has relied almost entirely on out-of-state financial support to fund her campaign.
There are big policy differences between these two candidates - Iraq, Afghanistan, the Bush tax cuts, a woman's right to choose, and more. Both of us support Annie because of her positions on the issues and her personal character. But as campaign veterans, we also know that there is no way Democrats can afford to lose this seat, and we believe Annie gives us our best chance to win it.

Finally, Annie refuses to be typecast or pigeonholed. She has endorsements from beer and wine drinkers alike, from the League of Conservation Voters to New Hampshire's Firefighters and Carpenters. She is a strong voice in support of the public insurance option, and one of the reasons is because she is a frugal Yankee who knows the importance of reducing the deficit. And she doesn't shy away from the fact that her parents were Republicans - or the fact that her mom had the independence to be a "Republican for Clinton" back in the 1990s.
