Is it Christmas in July? Virtual NHGOP Chair Judd Gregg's favorite Republican press secretary, Jennifer Donahue:
She's smart, she's connected, but she has never run for statewide office before. She is liked by the Republican establishment, and has worked as AG for both Republican Governor Craig Benson, and Democratic Governor John Lynch.
She may not be a professional politician, and neither is Palin (wink, nod.) But they have something many of their male counterparts may not. They are outsiders. They have a different perspective. Sotomayor put it on the record: a perspective different than that of white males.
Like Obama, they don't have to talk the talk of change. They are change.
Of course, nowhere in this Ode to Change Only Comes from Woman is Democratic women in New Hampshire are in office up and down the ticket and hold all the major seats except the Governor's office and Paul's congressional district. And flatly saying that the country's first African-American president is not definable "change" borders on the insulting. But still, I'll take it. Because if Donahue was so spectacularly wrong about Palin...
Either Central Casting and Candid Camera have teamed up to trick cable television, or this is the best real choice and the best hidden secret the republicans have made in decades.
...then I look forward with interest to her continuing promotion of fellow quitter Kelly Ayotte.
