Kinda hard to do when you've lost Joe McQuaid, the only man on earth who can spin gold out of elephant dung better than Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly:
McQuaid says it's healthy for the state Republican Party to have an open seat, an opportunity for regeneration.
McQuaid said he did not think the Union Leader would have supported Gregg for a fourth term.
Let's leave aside for a minute how full of baloney that statement is. The Union Leader is, after all, famous for showing support for Charlie Bass no less than three ostentatious times prior to the election in 2006, and then telling him never to run again practically the morning after the race. If Gregg had run, the Union Leader would continue to be what it has been since I've been looking at it - the state's premiere right-wing wurlitzer. It would have been All Gregg All The Time.
The jaw dropping paradign shift here is that Joe McQuaid just gave cover to conservatives in New Hampshire to disown Judd Gregg.
Jennifer Donahue can try and try to prop up her benefactor with a reverso-world account of what happened. Good luck with that!
But what just occurred at the bottom of a Boston Globe article, of all places, is a genuine political earthquake.
